		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.
		Ergative-accusative (or tripartite): The argument (subject) of an intransitive verb is in its own case (the intransitive case), separate from that of the agent (subject) or patient (direct object) of a transitive verb (which is in the ergative case or accusative case, respectively).

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Genitive case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		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.
		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 pronounced as part of the preceding word.
		In Baltic-Finnic languages, the accusative case -(e)n is homophonic to the genitive case.

	Modal Fictionalism
		Modal fictionalism should be of interest to those concerned with the metaphysics of modality, since theories committed to the literal existence of possible worlds (and, even more worryingly, the literal existence of merely possible objects ‘contained’ in these worlds) come at a cost, both to economy and to many people's intuitions.
		Modal fictionalists often focus on the claim that possible worlds are merely fictional entities, and apparent commitment to possible worlds is to be explained in the same sort of way that apparent commitment to ideal gases or frictionless surfaces is to be explained.
		Unfortunately, modal fictionalists have often not been explicit about whether their theory is to be an analysis of the possible-worlds talk and perhaps modal discourse which is actually employed, or a normative suggestion about how we might move to a superior theory.

	Accusative case - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The accusative case of a noun is the grammatical case used to mark the direct object of a verb.
		The same case is used in many languages for the objects of (some or all) prepositions.
		This is the form in nominative case, used for the subject of a sentence.

	Modal Logic
		Modal logic is, strictly speaking, the study of the deductive behavior of the expressions ‘it is necessary that’ and ‘it is possible that’.
		An understanding of modal logic is particularly valuable in the formal analysis of philosophical argument, where expressions from the modal family are both common and confusing.
		For this reason, there is no one modal logic, but rather a whole family of systems built around M. The relationship between these systems is diagrammed in Section 8, and their application to different uses of ‘necessarily’ and ‘possibly’ can be more deeply understood by studying their possible world semantics in Section 6.

	Genitive_case
		Some argue that it is a common misconception that English nouns have a genitive case, marked by the possessive -'s ending (known as the saxon genitive).
		These are sometimes not identified as the genitive case, and in many instances are not marked with the apostrophe, but these usages demonstrate use of nouns in the genitive case as adverbs in the Germanic language, indicating the time when the events described happen.
		In the case of constellations, it is useful to know the genitive of the constellation's Latin name, since this is used to make the Bayer designation of stars in that constellation.

	Causative Construction in Lithuanian - Chien-Ching Mo
		Modal cases tend to be verb-adverb relations with the modal cases filling in the details of time, place, and circumstance which surround the action of the principal characters." Note that the corresponding Lithuanian sentence of (1) is ill-formed.
		From 'nuo' in (4) and because of 'dėl' in (6), similar to with 'iš' in (2), are modal case markers indicating adverbials of cause in English and Lithuanian.
		It is also the case of a noun which expresses the nominal concept implicit in a verb, or it is created as the result of the action of the verb.

	Health outcomes for people with serious mental illness: A case study Perspectives in Psychiatric Care - Find Articles
		Case studies have traditionally been used in psychiatric-mental health nursing to study outcomes of individuals, yet case studies also can be conducted with groups, institutions, and organizations (Sechrist, Stewart, Sickle, & Sidani, 1996; Yin, 1994).
		The purposes of this case study were to describe outcomes (functioning; quality of life; service use, need, and satisfaction) of clients with serious mental illnesses who used regional public mental health services, and to describe what the public mental health system did well or needed to change to better satisfy clients' needs.
		The case study method was selected for this study because it allowed us to explore a number of variables within the context of the current public mental health system.

	Gua\spi Reference Manual: Pronouns and Compounds
		Modal cases have a default value which is inserted in each sentence lacking explicit words for that case.
		The modal case default has a kind of stack, so that a previous default value can be saved, replaced, and later restored.
		First, if the main word has a case with a default linker of ``vo'' or ``bi'' --- that is, a case for an infinitive --- a word compounded with high even tone `-' is the predicate of that infinitive, and the main word case before the infinitive (before conversion) becomes the infinitive's first case.

	Kinematics
		The problem may include additional rigid body degrees of freedom; in an aircraft, for example, this is the case of the ailerons and in general of control surfaces; in a robot manipulator, this is the case of each deformable link.
		In many cases, only the vertical component of the force transmitted by the landing gear to the structure through the attachments is relevant for the coupled aircraft/gear model.
		In any case, it is worth noting that when selecting the normal modes of the ``omitted'' subproblem, frequency range criteria may fail, because the frequencies of the ``omitted'' subproblem are related to a virtual system that is constrained in a manner that does not reflect the real system.

		The modalities can be combined; witness the statement that men have an essential property of possibly being conscious. Supervenience covers a variety of relations of different strength, so there remains the task of finding the proper formulations which will cover all types of modal facts.
		MA For each of the modal properties of an entity there is a proper subset of the set of all of its base (actual) properties such that this subset grounds this supervenient (modal) property.
		The defender of modal supervenience might say that if two entities are exactly alike in the totality of their categorical properties, then we do not have two entities required by the proper formulation of the thesis.

	Case Studies: Issues of Validity and Reliability
		Reliability becomes a key concern at this stage, and many case study researchers go to great lengths to ensure that their interpretations of the data will be both reliable and valid.
		For example, in a case study which looked at the time spent in different stages of the writing process, Berkenkotter concluded that her participant, Donald Murray, spent more time planning his essays than in other writing stages.
		The report of this case study is followed by Murray's reply, wherein he agrees with some of Berkenkotter's conclusions and disagrees with others.

		Thus, morphologically, nouns in the verbal cases are verbs, and one may wonder whether it might not be better to treat them as verbs (specifically, as serial verbs) or as deverbal nouns.
		These correlate with the tense/mood values marked on verbs, with the proviso that (i) a single modal case may subsume multpiple verbal tense/mood values, and (ii) the correlation is only a default one, and modal case marking may operate independent of the tense/mood of the verb.
		Although both verbal case and modal case involve the mixing of nominal and verbal properties, we do regard the latter as mismatch in the relevant sense: marking tense/mood is simply one of the various functions of these case suffixes (see also Nordlinger and Sadler 2004).

	Statues and Lumps: A Strange Coincidence?
		or the case of a statue and a qualitatively identical object produced by a volcano), the difference in sort is explained by differences in the manner or circumstances of their origin or, perhaps, by other differences in their histories.
		The third variation of the supervenience argument relies upon the intuitively appealing claim that the modal is grounded in the non-modal — that is, that modal properties must be a function of non-modal properties.
		This brief look at two accounts of the relationship of the modal to the non-modal supports the view that modal grounding only requires a weak grounding relation, that spatio-temporal coincidence is not in any way ruled out by modal grounding, as Heller’s argument assumes, but in fact is to be expected.

	Semantics and pragmatics in construction grammar: the case of modal verbs
		Semantics and pragmatics in construction grammar: the case of modal verbs
		To account for the fact that modal verbs allow for different uses, like deontic and epistemic ones, most linguists have taken either a ‘monosemous’ or a ‘polysemous’ view.
		In some instances, however, the only formal indication for the intended reading of the modal is to be found in the surrounding discourse, or there is no explicit indication at all.

	Dialogues
		In some cases, a modal dialogue is required by the nature of the application.
		In other cases, a modal dialogue is a design decision made to focus the user's attention.
		For example, a confirmation dialogue may be made modal if it asks the user to confirm that a large number of files will be deleted, insuring that the user must focus on the implications of an operation.

		In sampling, when we do a modal instance sample, we are sampling the most frequent case, or the "typical" case.
		First, how do we know what the "typical" or "modal" case is? We could say that the modal voter is a person who is of average age, educational level, and income in the population.
		For instance, let's say you do modal instance sampling and are concerned that the criteria you used for defining the modal instance are subject to criticism.

		When the user dismisses the modal alert or dialog box, the Menu Manager restores all menus to their previous state unless your application handles its own menu bar access, in which case your application must restore the menu bar to its previous state.
		When the user dismisses the movable modal alert or dialog box, the Menu Manager restores all menus to their previous state unless your application handles its own menu bar access, in which case your application must restore the menu bar to its previous state.
		A major difference between modal alert and dialog boxes and movable modal alert and dialog boxes is that, in the case of the latter, all events are passed to your event filter function for handling.

	Relativism
		After section one the sections, and in many cases subsections, are relatively modular, and readers can use the detailed tables of contents, an index, and hyperlinks in the text to locate the topics of most interest to them.
		In such cases it is often more illuminating to consider the type of relativism (e.g., normative ethical relativism) directly, without a detour through a discussion of relative truth, and it also can make it easier to align discussion with much of the literature on various kinds of relativism.
		Descriptive semantic relativism, as we will use the phrase, is the empirical claim that different groups, e.g., people living at different times or in different cultures, sometimes have different beliefs about the meaning of a word (where words are individuated independently of their meanings by such things as pronunciation or spelling).

	Validating formulas in modal logic: Philosophy Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In modal logic, the fact that domains may vary is not stated as a premise, unless there is a special restriction placed on worlds or the domain corresponding to a formula (or schema) valid in all models based on that frame.
		What is the case, is not a contender for that which may 'not' be the case.
		Anyway, it is obviously not the case that modal logic is truth-functional since a permutation in modal operators and quantifiers changes truth-value.

		Just a few years ago, the field of modal analysis was very stable and well known.
		Operational Modal Analysis (sometimes called 'Output Only Modal') is the technique that allows accurate identification of resonances, mode shapes, and damping values without the need of measuring the input force (i.e., hammer or shaker) or special boundary conditions.
		To perform an Operational Modal Analysis (OMA for short), all that is required is the raw time data of the output responses at several points.

	Property indicating any open modal forms
		Since a form may not be opened modally while another one is opened modally (frm.show vbModal), I am guessing somewhere buried in the mire is a property that tells vb that a form is already opened modally.
		The gist of it is they can both open from the same context and in some cases, du e to the rudundant nature of error checking in the program, the information request form may need the customer information to complete its logic.
		In this case, the modal information form must be closed, the customer information form must be opened modally and then the secondary form must be reopened modally.

	Commitative,Instr,Manner in Basque
		A typological study of the distribution of adposition/case uses (Croft, p.9) reveals that the subsumption of comitative, instrumental and manner uses under the same adposition or case marker is quite common.
		The syntactic and semantic function of a nominal expression in Basque is indicated by a case suffix or a postposition following the noun phrase.
		I suggest that the interesting phenomenon of mixing the two cases can be interpreted as a form of a transfer error coming from other languages where the three functions are marked the same way.

		As submitted by Joel VanderWerf: I had to convert some modal dialogs to non-modal, and I abstracted out some of what I was doing.
		Normally, the way non-modal dialogs interact with their callers is much more awkward than in the modal case, AFAICT.
		For paralellism with modal dialogs, maybe #execute could also take a block, with roughly the same semantics as #execute_nonmodal: the block is passed an _accepted_ value (true or false) when the dialog closes.
