The aim of this talk is to present arguments from Estonian for a <em>partial<\/em> ordering, where in particular GEN(initive) and PAR(titive) are unordered: NOM &lt; ACC &lt; {GEN, PAR} &lt; obliques. Some of the arguments are morphological (syncretism, containment), but I also adduce a syntactic argument, from covert case stacking in so-called pseudopartitives (&#8216;piece of bread&#8217;, etc.). This provides support for the views that case hierarchies are only partially ordered (e.g., B\u00e1r\u00e1ny 2021, Graf 2019, Zomp\u00ec 2019), as well as for the view in Zomp\u00ec 2023 that *ABA is not violated as long as there <em>exists at least one path<\/em> between the two A items that does not violate *ABA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Adam Przepi\u00f3rkowski (Warsaw \/ MIT) Title: Cases are partially ordered: Evidence from Estonian Time: Thursday, April 17th, 5pm - 6pm Location: 32-D769 Abstract: Caha 2009 et seq. argues that cases are universally totally ordered: NOM &lt; ACC &lt; GEN &lt; PAR &lt; obliques, with obliques also totally ordered.
