Визначення та Значення "exceptional case-marking"

What is "exceptional case-marking"?

Exceptional case-marking is a grammatical feature found in some languages where a subject takes a specific case that differs from the usual pattern. This often happens when the subject appears in certain sentence structures or with particular verbs. For example, in some languages, a subject that normally would be marked with one case might instead use another case in specific contexts. Understanding exceptional case-marking helps clarify how different languages assign grammatical roles, highlighting unique rules within their structures.
