<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Partitive case''' is a instance of [[inherent case]]. Partitive case is optionally assigned by [[unaccusative verb]]s, such as [[Italian]] ''arrivare'', to a post-[[verb]]al [[subject]], which is in fact the [[internal argument]]:<br />
<br />
(i) E' arrivato Gianni<br />
is arrived Gianni<br />
'Gianni arrived'<br />
<br />
According to Belletti (1988), partitive case can be assigned if no [[case]] ([[Nominative]] or [[Accusative]]) is assigned otherwise.<br />
