This is related to the \u0093head-licensing vs. dependent case theory\u0094 debate, but not identical to it \u0097 whether heads are responsible for assigning case or not, we still need to separately figure out whether the outcome is a set of predictions about where nominals can be, or a set of predictions about what they should sound like (or both).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I\u0092m not an expert on this topic, and you don\u0092t need to be an expert on this topic to participate!
