		The patient of a (transitive) verb is in the accusative case.
		The trigger may be identified as the agent, patient, etc. Other nouns may be inflected for case, but the inflections are overloaded; for example, in Tagalog, the subject and object of a verb are both expressed in the genitive case when they are not in the trigger case.

	Genitive case - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The genitive case is a grammatical case that indicates a relationship, primarily one of possession, between the noun in the genitive case and another noun.
		In some languages, nouns in the genitive case also agree in case with the nouns they modify (that is, the head noun is marked for two cases).
		Linguists generally believe that English possessive is no longer a case at all, but has become a clitic, an independent particle which, however, is always written and pronounced as part of the preceding word.

	Definition of Ablative case - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In linguistics, the ablative case is a noun case found in several languages, including Armenian, Latin, Sanskrit and in the Finno-Ugric languages.
		In Finnish, the ablative case is the sixth of the locative cases with the meaning "from off of", e.g.
		It is an outer locative case, used just as the adessive and allative cases to denote both being on top of something and "being around the place" (as opposed to the inner locative case, the elative, which means "from out of" or "from the inside of").

	> Nominative case at abcworld.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun.
		The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the least marked) of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech.
		In nominative-absolutive languages, the nominative case marks the subject of a transitive verb or a voluntary subject of an intransitive verb, but not an involuntary subject of an intransitive verb (for which the absolutive case is used).

		The verb determines the Case Notions of the nouns, that is, whether a noun might be an Experiencer, an Object or an Agent.
		The Benefactive Case obviously involves a "beneficiary", that is, "a person or other animate noun that "benefits," the one to whom or for whom, the action of the verb is performed."
		In the first pair, both in Russian and in English, the "rifle" is the Instrument of the verb "to kill." Whereas in the second pair, in both instances, the "policeman" is the Agent.

		The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
		In Georgian, the dative case also marks the subject of the sentence in some verbs and some tenses.
		The Old English language, current until approximately the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, had a dative case; however, the English case system gradually fell into disuse during the Middle English period, when the accusative and dative pronouns merged into a single objective pronoun used in both roles.

		Next, this morpheme is turned into a benefactive case marker as illustrated in the sentence 39 and a verb similar in meaning to the English verb 'to give' as illustrated in sentence 40.
		Moreover, conforming to the Hoyloy syntactical structure for sentence 39, the morpheme [hO.-] may be treated either as an interminative verb or a benefactive case marker.
		Incidentally, as it is often the case in Hoyloy of which most morphemes are monosyllabic, there are a handful of other morphemes of same pronounciation as this one, such as: [hO-] as in [loQ_hO-] for to rain, [hO-] as in [hO_dti(E)Ng-] for doorsill, and [hO-] as in [bpo=(+)hO-] for protection.

		Fosilized forms of a case are counted in column A: There is a variation of about 1,5% if you consider such instances in column B.] Wallace makes some use of statistics from a real corpus, which is a clear point to his favour in comparison with most of Greek grammars.
		If you are studying case, different results are obtained if you count every single instance of a word with any given case morpheme, or if you count as one instance of nominative only the syntagm whose head is a nominative (even when it can have an article and an adjective in dependency).

		Among the points of interest for this workshop are: types of benefactive constructions and their distribution degrees of grammaticalization grammaticalization paths to benefactive marking semantic subtypes (benefactive, malefactive, behalf, ) In the introduction we present an overview of the types of benefactive marking attested in Oceanic languages and languages of Eastern Nusantara.
		The formal parallelism of A (dominant) and O (subordinate) possession/benefaction disappears, and phrases introduced by the single remaining benefactive preposition /ma/ are subject to an unexpected word-order constraint oddly reminiscent of (but not the same as) that found in the Efate language, the main source of contact influence.
		Benefactive expressions in the Fijian languages Ritsuko Kikusawa In the Fijian languages, the beneficiary of an event is typically expressed using: a) phrasal expressions, such as ‘because of’, ‘for the sake of’, etc.; b) possessive expressions, indicating the (future) possessor; c) dative prepositional phrases meaning ‘for whom’, ‘to whom’.

	LINGUIST List 9.1813: Cook: Case Grammar Applied
		There is no case concord in English and, hence, the challenges posited by 'concordial case' are trivially out of the scope of the presented analysis (which is based exclusively on English data).
		The case frame is understood as a configuration of one to three cases that are required by the meaning of the verb (or more generally, the predicate).
		Covert case roles, which are required by the meaning of the predicate, are sometimes (as in the case of partially covert (deletable) case roles) or always (as in the case of totally covert (coreferential and lexicalised) case roles) missing in the surface structure.

		All nSAP basically conform an ergative case marking pattern with respect to S and A. If O is represented by a deictic element in anaphoric function, it normally behaves like a ‘personal pronoun’, especially if the antecedent in human or an animal ranked high in the animacy hierarchy, cf.
		The absolutive case marks those referents in O-function which are thought to be completely localized ‘in’ the domain of A (see Schulze 1998 and Schulze (in press a) for a discussion of the localization schema of A).
		In most cases, backgrounding is complete, though occasionally the element in former A-function is retained in the periphery (marked by the ablative, probably copying foreign structures).

	Dative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The dative generally marks the indirect object of a verb, although in some instances, the dative is used for the direct object of a verb pertaining directly to an act of giving something.
		Dative also marks possession in Vulgar Latin (and, to a lesser extent, Classical Latin) and in Classical Greek, which has lost the locative and instrumental cases.
		Modern German usually additionally uses prepositions to mark the dative, most commonly aus, außer, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, and zu (a sequence that may be remembered by singing them to the main tune of the Blue Danube as a mnemonic device).

		In “Case Grammar Theory” (1989), the author described the Case Grammar models of Fillmore, Chafe, Anderson, Gruber, Jackendoff, and some tagmemicists as contrasting models within Case Grammar theory.
		Because Case Grammar lends itself well to displaying the way syntactic features are associated with semantic structures, the author is able to use Case Grammar as an unusually clear, simple guide for sentence analysis.

		The third sentence has an Agent, the "porter" who does the action; an Object, the "door," which receives the action of the verb; and a Benefactive, the "guests," who receives the "benefit" of the action of the verb "to unlock." The phrase "at the Park Hotel" is a Locative.
		Thus we can say that in terms of Case Frames, the verb "to unlock" requires an Object, but all other cases, like Agent, Benefactory, Instrument and Locative are optional.
