Question

Verbs that license this case are the subject of Burzio’s generalization, which inspired the hypothesis that this case is actually assigned by a predicate called “little (10[1])v.” A construction named for this case plus the infinitive is similar to the exceptional case-marking construction in English. This is the second case in the name of the world’s most common morphosyntactic (10[1])alignment. Adding the (10[1])prefix (10[1])“un-” to the name of this case (10[1])gives a term (10[1])for an intransitive verb whose subject is not an agent, contrasted (10[1])with an unergative (“un-ERG-uh-tiv”) verb. (10[1])In Latin, this case can be used when describing motion toward a (10[1])destination, (10[3]-5[1])such as Romam (-5[1])(“ROH-mahm”) meaning “toward Rome.” (10[1]-5[2])Both this case (10[1])and the dative were supplanted by the oblique (10[1]-5[1])case in English. For 10 points, name this case that marks the direct object (10[1])of a transitive verb. (10[1])■END■ (10[3]0[3])
