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 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 alignment. Adding the prefix “un-” to the name of this case gives a term for an intransitive verb whose subject is not an agent, contrasted with an unergative (“un-ERG-uh-tiv”) verb. In Latin, this case can be used when describing motion toward a destination, such as Romam (“ROH-mahm”) meaning “toward Rome.” Both this case and the dative were supplanted by the oblique case in English. For 10 points, name this case that marks the direct object of a transitive verb. ■END■
