Nominalization and case assignment in Quechua

In Quechua most embedded clauses are nominalized. In addition, dialects like Cuzco and Junin-Huanca have genitive subjects in both complement and relative clauses. Significantly, objects in these clauses cannot be marked with accusative case. Based on the approach to nominalizations suggested in Borsley and Kornfilt (2000), we derive the case marking pattern in nominalized clauses from the level at which nominalization applies in the derivation. We also analyze the genitive subjects in Quechua as licensed by C (as in Turkish) rather than by D (as suggested in recent work by Miyagawa for Japanese).
