Abstract
Certain instances of Case morphology drop in German are exclusively determined by the syntactic context. Gallmann (1996a; 1998) develops a simple competition-based approach to this phenomenon that relies on specificity. Based on some pieces of empirical counterevidence, I argue that this approach is not fine-grained enough, and I show that the main properties of Case morphology drop in German can be captured by a more articulate, and more flexible, competition-based approach, viz., one that relies on optimality theory (see Prince & Smolensky (1993)).
