Question

A hypothesis named for not having this property was created by Geoffrey Pullum and David Perlmutter and explains the distribution of words corresponding to “be” and “have” in forming perfect tense in many European languages. A type of intransitive verbs named for “un-[this property]” has a single NP that is assigned the theme theta-role. (15[1])An alignment that usually treats this property as marked is contrasted with the (*) ergative-absolutive alignment, (10[1])where (-5[1])ergatives are marked. (-5[1])German only gives words (10[1])special forms for this property, which is denoted by use of the articles den (-5[2])and (-5[1])einen, (-5[1])for (-5[1])masculine (-5[1])nouns. (-5[1])It’s not the oblique (-5[1])case, (10[1])but in English, him is often attributed (10[1])this case, as opposed (10[2])to the nominative he. (10[3])For 10 points, (10[2]-5[1])name this case that usually denotes the object in a sentence. (10[4])■END■ (10[4]0[2])
