Abstract
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In relatively free word order languages, grammatical functions are intricately related to case marking. Assuming an ordered representation of the predicate-argument structure, this work proposes a Combinatory Categorial Grammar formulation of relating surface case cues to categories and types for correctly placing the arguments in the predicate-argument structure. This is achieved by treating case markers as type shifters. Unlike other CG formulations, type shifting does not proliferate or cause spurious ambiguity. Categories of all argument-encoding grammatical functions follow from the same principle of category assignment.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Normal order evaluation of the combinatory form reveals the predicate-argument structure. The application of the method to Turkish is shown.</Paragraph>
