This paper sets forth the patterns of variation in the case-marking system of Mandarin Chinese that are found to correlate with such social characteristics as level of education and type of home language and suggests, on the basis of these and other lines of evidence, a model of syntactic change. The model postulates that syntactic change starts with the lower educated class, with the benefactive construction, the point where deviations from the "standard" language involve the least perturbation in surface form or meaning, and later spreads to the higher educated class, to other areas of greater perturbation, namely, the ba and bei constructions.
