This paper explores the distribution of Differential Object Marking (DOM) in the understudied language of Kodava takk/Coorgi (Dravidian), spoken in the Coorg region of Karnataka, India. The presence of the Accusative case-marking on syntactic objects in Coorgi appears to be conditioned by nominal features such as animacy, specificity, and humanness, as well as by the semantics of the verb. However, the task of relating certain feature combinations to the presence or absence of the overt accusative case-marker has proven extremely difficult. One of the few constants appears to be a relationship between case-marking and the possible number interpretations (singular/plural) of the object in question: whilst bare nominals in Coorgi are number-neutral, this ambiguity disappears as soon as the accusative case-marker is used. This paper offers a modified variant of Kalin's (2018) nominal licensing analysis in order to account for how DOM patterns in Coorgi, in which the projection of NumP in the nominal structure is directly linked to the presence or absence of the accusative case-marker. As DOM is not generally presumed to be associated with the projection of NumP, the theoretical claims outlined in this paper will have ramifications for future analyses of DOM, thereby contributing to our understanding of this crosslinguistic phenomenon.
