	Accusative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The accusative case exists (or existed once) in all the Indo-European languages (including Latin, Sanskrit, Greek, German, Russian), in the Finno-Ugric languages, and in Semitic languages (such as Arabic).
		In morphosyntactic alignment terms, both perform the accusative function, but the accusative object is telic, while the partitive is not.
		"Whom" is the accusative case of "who"; "him" is the accusative case of "he" (the final "m" of both of these words can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European accusative case suffix); and "her" is the accusative case of "she".

	ACCUSATIVE
		The accusative case is used for the direct object of transitive verbs, for the internal object (mostly of intransitive verbs), for the subject of a subordinate infinitive (that is, not as the subject of the historical infinitive), to indicate place to which, extent or duration, and for the object of certain prepositions.
		It is believed that the accusative case originally had a "local" function; it was the case that indicated the end or ultimate goal of an action or movement.
		The Cognate Accusative is the easiest form of the internal accusative to identify; it is called a "cognate accusative" because the noun in the accusative case uses a same linguistic stem or root as (in other words, it is cognate with) the stem or root of the verb.

		That is, the inverted motion construction has two immediate constituents, a setup consisting of a motional adverbial followed by a motion verb, and a phrase serving as the payoff.

		As a result, Fijian is analyzed as accusative, and Tongan is analyzed as ergative, since the Nominative marks the [actr] in the former, while it marks the [PAT] in the latter.
		One is that the Accusative clitic pronoun in Fijian was originally attached to the verb as a suffix, possibly a cross-referencing marker in the proto-language.
		At this point, the language became clearly accusative, with the form ko marking the [actr], or the [AGT] of the transitive clause and the [PAT] of the intransitive clause.

	The Accusative: 2 (Gaston WARINGHIEN)
		So the accusative became not simply one of the various elements of the morphology, but the main and essential means of support of the entire Esperanto syntax, and passibly its most characteristic trait.
		Many indirect objects, which must be shown be a prepositional phrase, are not clear on which preposition to use; for instance, the English "she became pregnant with evil" does not justify the use of "kun" in Esperanto, since "with" is not used in its standard sense, and the Esperanto prepositions are fairly narrowly defined.
		Here the accusative was found after every preposition, showed the object of the verb, and, when it came to personal names, was also used for the genitive and the dative.

	Accusative Case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The accusative case marks an noun as the `object' of `patient' of some action; it is the thing that is subjected to the action of the verb.
		Inanimate nouns are not normally marked for accusative unless the speaker wishes to indicate a SPECIFIC or DEFINITE thing; this is similar to the function of the definite article in English (which Tamil otherwise lacks).
		Animate nouns, however, are always marked accusative when they are the objects of verbs.

	Predicate accusative
		It is the use of two accusatives, instead of two nominatives: one is a direct object, the other a “predicate accusative.” Rather than a linking verb, these two accusatives are found with transitive verbs that mean call, consider, deem, name, make, appoint, choose, and the like.
		The latter is not part of the Direct Object before the action of the verb occurs, but it is (to put it graphically) “thrown” upon the D O through the action of calling, considering, etc.
		Note that the adjective or noun that we mark as predicate accusative is, of course, in the predicative position with respect to the DO.
