It aims at contributing to the typological investigation of these cases by providing descriptive studies of ten different languages, not only Romance and Germanic languages, but also Polish and Basque, as well as Cora, Warrwa and Ewe. These studies show that the formal devices used to mark the two nuclear cases may be quite diverse (including non-overt and 'configurational' coding), but that all the languages studied crucially display a subject-object asymmetry, even languages such as Basque and Ewe for which this had been questioned. One of the most striking subthemes to emerge from this collection is the complexity of the object-zone, both with regard to formal and functional diversity. Various studies in the volume also contribute reflections, couched mainly in broadly cognitive-functional terms, about the semantic function of the subject-object contrast and why it is so central across languages. 410 0$aCase and grammatical relations across languages ;$vv. 4. 517 3 $aNominative and accusative and their counterparts 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xCase 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTransitivity 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xDirect object 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xCase. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTransitivity. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xDirect object. 676 $a415 701 $aDavidse$b Kristin$0175945 701 $aLamiroy$b Beatrice$0388983 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828029003321 996 $aThe nominative & accusative and their counterparts$94119543 997 $aUNINA
