Abstract
There are fascinating problems at the syntax-morphology interface which tend to be missed. I offer a
brief explanation of why that may be happening, then give a Canonical Typology perspective, which
brings these problems to the fore. I give examples showing that the phenomena could in principle be
treated either by syntactic rules (but these would be complex) or within morphology (but this would
involve redundancy). Thus ˋnon-autonomous' case values, those which have no unique form but are
realized by patterns of syncretism, could be handled by a rule of syntax (one with access to other
features, such as number) or by morphology (with resulting systematic syncretisms). I concentrate on
one of the most striking sets of data, the issue of prepositional government in Latvian, and outline
a solution within Network Morphology using structured case values.
