Many languages have specialized locative words or morphemes translating roughly into words like 'front,' 'back,' 'top,' 'bottom,' 'side,' and so on. Often, these words are used instead of more specialized adpositions to express spatial meanings corresponding to 'behind,' 'above,' and so on. I argue, on the basis of a cross-linguistic survey of such expressions, that in many cases they motivate a syntactic category which is distinct from both N and P, which I call AxPart for 'Axial Part'; I show how the category relates to the words which instantiate it, and how the meaning of the construction is derived from the combination of P[lace] elements, AxParts, and the lexical material which expresses them.

“…CAVEAT: Assume following RH&L (2008) that the dative alternation is not an object alternation in that the first object in the double object construction is not a true "object" (Baker 1997, Hudson 1992, Levin 2006, Maling 2001, Marantz 1993). …”

“…Not only do we independently know that cases such as those of recipients and benefactors alternate between two morphological realisation in many languages, but it has also long been noted in the literature that the Icelandic dative is special in being more "structural": "Unlike German, where dative objects are oblique and behave syntactically much like PPs (Vogel & Steinbach 1998), Icelandic dative case is structural, and dativemarked objects pattern with ordinary accusative objects for various phenomena such as control, binding, secondary predication, promotion under passive, and so on (Maling 2001)." (Svenonius 2005) The (DAT = ACC) ≠ GEN pattern is thus compatible with Caha's strong claim: there is a single universal case hierarchy, and case syncretisms are structurally contiguous in that hierarchy.…”

The traditional notion of case is too coarse to distinguish between the English prepositional dative and the English shifted dative, the Spanish bare accusative and the Spanish "a" accusative, etc. I show that refining our typology of case to include such distinctions resolves a *ABA counterexample to Caha's 2009 case hierarchy and I discuss where these new distinctions should be placed in the underlying representation of case.
