title = "No case before the verb, obligatory case after the verb in Coptic",
abstract = " This paper presents a hitherto unnoticed fact about the coding of grammatical relations in Coptic: while postverbal core arguments must be overtly case-marked (or “flagged”), preverbal core arguments are never case-marked. This feature extends the “no case before the verb in northeastern Africa” generalization ( K{\"o}nig 2008; 2009) to the northeastern Mediterranean. Moreover, the analysis presented here reveals Coptic to be another case of an uncommon system of core argument marking, namely, “marked S/A vs. marked P”.",
