Dative Case, Possum

Eleanor Dickey · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2018

Learn Latin from the Romans is the only introductory Latin textbook to feature texts written by ancient Romans for Latin learners. These texts, the 'colloquia', consist of dialogues and narratives about daily life similar to those found in modern-language textbooks today, introducing learners to Roman culture as well as to Latin in an engaging, accessible, and enjoyable way. Students and instructors will find everything they need in one complete volume, including clear explanations of grammatical concepts and how Latin works, both British and American orders for all noun and adjective paradigms, 5,000 easy practice sentences, and over 150 longer passages (from the colloquia and a diverse range of other sources including inscriptions, graffiti, and Christian texts as well as Catullus, Cicero, and Virgil). Written by a leading Latin linguist with decades of language teaching experience, this textbook is suitable for introductory Latin courses worldwide.

Prepositions – Dative Case

Steffen G. Jenkins, Jeremy Duff · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2026

Reading Biblical Greek is aimed at students who are studying New Testament Greek for the first time, or refreshing what they once learned. Designed to supplement and reinforce The Elements of New Testament Greek, by Jeremy Duff, each chapter of this textbook provides lengthy, plot-driven texts that will be accessible as students study each chapter of The Elements. Each text is accompanied by detailed questions, which test comprehension of content from recent lessons and review challenging topics from previous chapters. The graded nature of the texts, together with the copious notes and comprehension questions, makes this an ideal resource for learning, reviewing or re-entering Greek. The focus of this resource is on reading with understanding, and the exercises highlight how Greek texts convey meaning. Finally, this book moves on from first-year Greek, with sections that cover the most important advanced topics thoroughly.

DOM and dative case

András Bárány · Greater South Information System · 2018

In some languages with DOM, the exponents of DOM and dative are homophonous, e.g. in Spanish and Hindi. I argue that this pattern is not due to DOM objects and indirect objects being represented identically in syntax, but due to syncretism between accusative and dative case in these languages. This is indicated by a number of syntactic tests which group DOM objects with morphologically zero-coded direct objects, rather than with indirect objects, including nominalisation, relativisation, controlling secondary predicates, and passivisation. I suggest that languages with a ditransitive alternation between direct/indirect and primary/secondary objects provide further support for the syntactic difference of DOM and dative objects.

Dative case in Südtirol-German

M. Vesco · University of Vienna · 2011

Der Dativ im Südtiroler Dialekt (STG) weist bedeutende Unterschiede zum Dativ im Standarddeutschen auf. In verbalen und adjektivischen Dativkontexten des STG steht vor Dativobjekten eine semantisch leere Präposition (in). Der vorgeschlagenen Analyse nach sind verbale und adjektivische Köpfe im STG im Unterschied zu solchen im Standarddeutschen defektiv. P° ist der einzige syntaktische Kopf, der dazu fähig ist, Dativ zuzuweisen. Die Default-Präposition ɪn erfüllt daher den Zweck Dativobjekten in nicht-präpositionalen Kontexten ihren Kasus zuzuweisen. Im Unterschied zu lexikalischen NPs darf aber vor Personalpronomen keine Default-Präposition stehen. Nichtsdestotrotz erscheinen diese Personalpronomen als PPs, da sie mit lexikalischen NPs, welche mit in einhergehen, koordiniert werden können. Die Generalisierung The Law of Coordination of Likes (Chomsky 1957, Schachter 1977, Williams 1978) besagt, dass Koordination immer syntaktisch identische Kategorien benötigt. Daraus wird geschlossen, dass Personalpronomen, welche die Präsenz der Default-Präposition ausschließen, doch PPs sein müssen. Es wird nun angenommen, dass Personalpronomen in verbalen und adjektivischen Dativkontexten von D° nach P° inkorporieren (im Sinne von Baker 1988), was die Abwesenheit der Default-Präposition zur Folge hat. Der Unterschied zwischen lexikalischen NPs und Personalpronomen bezieht sich auf innere syntaktische Unterschiede. Personalpronomen sind der Analyse nach blanke Ds und daher für Inkorporation geeignet. Die Behauptung, dass Personalpronomen blanke Ds sind, wird dadurch untermauert, dass Personalpronomen des STG nicht durch PPs modifiziert werden können, welche typischerweise NPs modifizieren. Lexikalische NPs sind im Gegensatz dazu syntaktisch komplexer und daher nicht für den Inkorporationsprozess zulässig. Ein Vergleich mit Daten des Italienischen zeigt vor, dass STG nicht gänzlich einzigartige Eigenschaften veranschaulicht. Ein allgemeiner Vergleich zu Dativkontexten in romanischen Sprachen stellt ein mögliches Thema für künftige Untersuchungen dar.

Dative case in Old English

Cynthia L. Allen · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2019

This chapter provides an overview of the uses of dative case in constructions other than dative external possessors, such as ‘ethical’ datives and dative objects of transitive and ditransitive verbs. Constructions traditionally analysed as ‘impersonal’ as well as constructions with copulas that use dative case present particular challenges of analysis, as do the dative complements of adjectives and nouns. While this study focuses on attributive possession, the use of dative case in predicative discussion is discussed in this chapter. In addition to delimiting the scope of the present investigation, the chapter provides background for the discussion in Chapter 7 of the relationship between the loss of functions of the dative case generally and the loss of dative external possessors in Middle English.

Dative Case in Telugu: A Parsing Perspective

Uma Maheshwar Rao G, K. Rajya Rama, A. Srinivas · 2013

In this paper we attempt to study various case relations expressed by the case marker-ki/ku in Telugu. This paper represents a small fragment of our efforts at developing a parser for Telugu based on the dependency frame work a la Panini. Though, traditionally the case marked by-ku/-ki is usually called as the dative case, there are a number of semantic/case relations it expresses. Our hypothesis is that it is possible to identify and thereby predict various functions performed by the case marker-ki/-ku in Telugu based on the semantic properties of the nouns and Verbs involved. Such linguistic inputs help in machine learning and building parsers for Telugu for computational purposes. 1. Introduction: Telugu, a major Dravidian language, spoken mostly in South India is a morphologically complex language. Various grammatical categories like case, gender, number and person are morphologically encoded and serve as strong cues for identifying the syntactico-semantic relations between the various parts of a sentence.

The status of Dative case in the Moksha case paradigm

Polina Pleshak · Voprosy Jazykoznanija · 2022

In this paper, I discuss the structure of the Moksha case system and its implications for linguistic theory. Based on their morphological properties, Moksha (Uralic) cases are divisible into two groups, which seem to correspond to structural and inherent cases. Dative, however, presents a puzzle: distributionally, it behaves as an inherent case, but morphologically it patterns with the structural ones. To resolve this discrepancy, I argue that inherent cases are always headed by a P, providing a finer classifi cation of P heads (relational vs. non-relational) based on their morphosyntactic properties. Synchronically, inherent “case” markers are bound counterparts of free-standing postpositions and relational nouns. Diachronically, the latter grammaticalize to the former. The nature of a free-standing element gives rise to two diff erent patterns once it is grammaticalized into a case marker, and thus the case marker continues to echo either the relational nature (< relational noun) or non-relational nature (< postposition) of the element it came from. Dative is a non-relational P head that assigns structural genitive to its complement, explaining why the morphological behavior is the one found with structural cases. On the other hand, other inherent cases are relational P heads, which take bare complements.

Analytical notes on the Manipuri dative case marker

Chelliah, Shobhana Lakshmi · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas)

Typed analytical notes on the various uses of the dative case marker -tə in Manipuri, including examples from original field notes, parallel English translations, and linguistic analysis in English. The dative marker is used to indicate indirect objects, possession, and spatial and temporal distinctions.
