Cheong Youn. 1998. Case Stacking Revisited. Studies in Modern Grammar 14, 125-149. In case alternation constructions in Korean, the experiencer, locative, or goal nominal can appear in either the dative case or in the nominative or accusative case. Moreover, it is possible for some Korean speakers to stack case, so that both the dative and the nominative or accusative case appear on this nominal. I accounted for this in previous work by positing two levels of case-semantic case and syntactic case-and by letting the nominal be assigned one case per level. However, Schu¨itze(1996) claims that the stacked nominative or accusative marker is focus, not case. In this paper, I review his arguments against case stacking and conclude that they are not convincing. The case stacking analysis not only handles the relevant data but in some instances does so more easily than the focus marking analysis.
