		In grammar, the case of a noun or pronoun is its grammatical function in a greater phrase or clause; such as the role of subject, of direct object, or of possessor.

		Nominative-accusative (or simply accusative): The argument (subject) of an intransitive verb is in the same case as the agent (subject) of a transitive verb; this case is then called the nominative case, with the patient (direct object) of a transitive verb being in the accusative case.

		The grammatical function alone will not account for the distribution of the accusative case, since its distribution is restricted to a clause with the subject that has the aspectual prominence of an external argument.
		The accusative case marking is generally optional in Korean for arguments as well as adverbials, and this optionality will not be indicated with parentheses in the examples.

		The focus of the study is a set of syntactic environments where internal DP arguments appear in nominative case, but alternate with accusative personal pronouns.

		The case split then arises as the result of two case features being assigned simultaneously to an internal argument, objective Case at D-structure associated with aspect, and nominative Case at S-structure associated with finite Tense where an external argument is not available.

		In the first function, case is often conflated with grammatical relations and commonly deemed to be induced as a property of the predicate, rather than a property of the term itself.
		Preamble The term ‘case’ is used to signify a range of concepts within grammatical theory in addition to (and sometimes in opposition to) its traditional reference to the form of nouns or their dependents in different grammatical contexts.
		These extensions of case derive from one or another of the common functions it signifies: 1 g-case: marks a set of grammatical functions (however defined); 2 s-case: marks the semantic contribution of a case-marked term, usually an adjunct; 3 a-case: marks an expression as being dependent on some case-marked term.

		When we speak of a grammatical case, we are so close to the boundary between the physiology of meaning (brain) and the cultural generation of meaning (mind) that we cannot yet be sure whether the object of our research is a physical or a cultural thing.
		If we are correct in supposing that case as a mental device for organizing brain activity stands fairly close to the neural modules themselves, then it may be that we have happened upon a salient property of the Russian mind, and learned something about the brain/mind interface to boot.
