| Gaia: | There are few linguistic phenomena that have seduced linguists so skillfully as grammatical case has done. Ever since Pā¬nini (4th Century BCE), case has claimed a central role in linguistic theory and continues to do so today.

The experiments demonstrate that case systems may emerge because they have a selective advantage for communication: they reduce the cognitive effort that listeners need for semantic interpretation, while at the same time limitingthe cognitive resources required for doing so. |
