obj: direct object
The direct object of a verb is the noun phrase that denotes the entity acted upon.
Citesc o carte . \n Read-I a book .
obj(Citesc, carte)
O văd . \n Her see-I .
obj(văd, O)
When the direct object is doubled by a pronoun, this is marked as expl.
O văd pe Mara . \n Her see-I PE Mara .
obj(văd, Mara)
expl(văd, O)
Romanian allows for the occurrence of two Accusative objects with some (uses of certain) verbs: the [+Animate] object (the direct object in traditional grammar terms) is anlysed here as iobj, while the other Accusative object (the secondary object in traditional grammar terms) is obj:
Bunica i-a învățat pe copii o poezie . \n Grandmother-the them-has taught PE children a poem .
obj(învățat, poezie)
iobj(învățat, copii)
