Sentences like those in example 4, in which no accusative case is assigned to any argument, reflect these predicates' lack of accusative case-assigning ability.
They only show instances of accusative case, another case governed by the preposition.
Particular monotransitive verbs still governed the dative case, while others governed the accusative, and still others allowed either case.
At first blush, this goes against our prediction that the effect of the accusative marker should only strengthen with age.
Thirdly, our approach equates the nominative and accusative forms.
Torrego shows how statives with marked accusatives are interpreted as activities, and how activities are interpreted as accomplishments.
Furthermore, this dialect can mark the indirect object using either an accusative or a dative form of the pronoun.
For instance frequency of use of die collapses die used as nominative and accusative singular and plural.
