Abstract
Finnish syntax and inflectional morphology support a parallel decomposition of abstract case and morphosyntactic/morphological case into two binary features. The correspondence between these levels is governed by ranked violable faithfulness constraints. The constraints are shown to account for the major clause types of Finnish, and their generality is demonstrated with a rudimentary typology of ergative case systems.
