A formal model is presented which deduces the structural case assignment profile of Finnish by relying on graph-theoretical paths and intervention. More complex and controversial features such as nonlocal dependencies, adverbial case marking, case competition, DP-internal case patterns and interaction of case with agreement, aspect and polarity are also calculated from the model. Abstract Case and case concord were eliminated. The model links case assignment with word order, thematic roles and information structure. The results suggest that case might play a role in language comprehension.

结构案例分配、主题角色和信息结构*

提出了一个正式模型，该模型依靠图论路径和干预来推断芬兰语的结构案例分配概况。更复杂和有争议的特征，如非局部依赖、状语格标记、格竞争、DP-内部格模式和格与协议、方面和极性的相互作用也从模型中计算出来。摘要 Case 和 case concord 被淘汰。该模型将案例分配与词序、主题角色和信息结构联系起来。结果表明格可能在语言理解中发挥作用。
