This paper presents a theory of surface case which bears a strong fromal similarity to autosegmental theory in phonology and morphology. We suggest that surface case forms a tier which is autonomous of phrase structure -- and which is associated with NP's of the PS tier by general principles analogous to those which associate tones with segments, or phonemic melodies with CV skeleta. We shoe that this theory permits parmeterization of case ystems, and thus provides some insight into how case might be characterizatized in Universal Grammar. The theory permits, most strikingly, a unification of causative and Ergative systems under one simple parameter, and explanation of the mysterious appearance of postverbal nominative case in the passives of sertain Icelandic ditransitive verbs.*
