accusativus cum infinitivo

== English == === Alternative forms === ACI (initialism) === Etymology === Learned borrowing from Latin accūsātīvus cum īnfīnītīvō (literally “accusative [case] with infinitive [mood]”). === Noun === accusativus cum infinitivo (usually uncountable, plural accusativi cum infinitivis) (grammar) A syntactic construction, very common in Classical Latin, in which the subject of a subordinate clause is declined for the accusative case and the verb is conjugated for the infinitive mood, used chiefly to express indirect statements. ibidem, page 11: Thus we must differentiate between the accusativi cum infinitivis after the two groups of verbs already on account of this, although this has not been thought necessary by anybody so far. 1982, Haiim B. Rosén, East and West: Selected Writings in Linguistics, part one: General and Indo-European Linguistics, Munich: Wilhelm Fink Verlag, →ISBN (10), →ISBN (13), page 427: In all these occurrences, after the clause ἔδοξεν tῲ dήμῳ (lʿ m ṣdnm tm), we find a nominal clause without a verbal subject; in these instances the accusativi cum infinitivis which give the detailed content of the decree are to be seen […] ibidem, page 428: Not only are all the verbs in the infinitive, since these sentences are, from a syntactical point of view, accusativi cum infinitivis, but also the continuation of the sentence comes in the words ʿ ṭrt ḥrṣ after a long parenthesis; both of these constructions are completely foreign to the nature of Semitic paratactic syntax. ==== Translations ==== ==== See also ==== nominativus cum infinitivo === Further reading === Accusative and infinitive on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Exceptional case-marking on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Small clause on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
