The purpose of the present research was to clarify whether present-day English has Case-markers. To accomplish this, a computer-based statistical method was adopted and a large velume of data was compiled. In recent linguistic theories like principles and parameters approach and minimalist program, it is assumed that English has an abstract system of Case-markers. The data compiled actually endorse this assumption. Rather, a more serious problem will be whether or not the head-complement relation is necessitated for Case-marking in English.Minimalist program argues that the Spect-head relation is the only structural relation that plays a role in Case-marking. However, a closer observation of the corpus data reveals that in addition to the Spect-head relation, the head-complement relation is also reguired in Case-marking. If this is the case, it will bring about far-reaching consequences to linguistic theory. One of them is the level where Case-marking is done. According to minimalist program, English objective Case is checked at logicalform on the basis of the Spect-head relation. But our claim leads to conclude that logical form has nothigng to do with Case-marking, and all types of Case-marking are carried out in overt syntax.

本研究的目的是澄清当今英语是否有格标记。为了实现这一目标，采用了基于计算机的统计方法并编制了大量数据。在最近的语言理论中，如原则和参数方法以及极简主义程序，假设英语具有抽象的格标记系统。编制的数据实际上证实了这一假设。相反，一个更严重的问题将是英语中的格标记是否需要中心补语关系。Minimalist程序认为，Spect-head关系是唯一在格标记中起作用的结构关系。然而，对语料数据的仔细观察发现，除了Spect-head关系之外，Case标记中还需要head-complement关系。如果真是这样，将会给语言学理论带来深远的影响。其中之一是进行案例标记的级别。根据极简主义程序，英语客观格在Spect-head关系的基础上进行逻辑形式检查。但我们的主张得出的结论是，逻辑形式与大小写标记无关，所有类型的大小写标记都是在显式语法中进行的。
