2. Object (grammar) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_(grammar)

   In linguistics, an object is any of several types of arguments. [1] In subject-prominent, nominative-accusative languages such as English, a transitive verb typically distinguishes between its subject and any of its objects, which can include but are not limited to direct objects, [2] indirect objects, [3] and arguments of adpositions (prepositions or postpositions); the latter are more ...

3. Physical object - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_object

   A physical body as a whole is assumed to have such quantitative properties as mass, momentum, electric charge, other conserved quantities, and possibly other quantities. An object with known composition and described in an adequate physical theory is an example of physical system.

4. English grammar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_grammar

   In English, objects and complements nearly always come after the verb; a direct object precedes other complements such as prepositional phrases, but if there is an indirect object as well, expressed without a preposition, then that precedes the direct object: give me the book, but give the book to me.

5. Opposite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite

   Converses can be understood as a pair of words where one word implies a relationship between two objects, while the other implies the existence of the same relationship when the objects are reversed. [ 3 ] Converses are sometimes referred to as complementary antonyms because an "either/or" relationship is present between them.

7. Direct–inverse alignment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct–inverse_alignment

   The definition of a direct–inverse language is a matter under research in linguistic typology, but it is widely understood to involve different grammar for transitive predications according to the relative positions of their "subject" and their "object" on a person hierarchy, which, in turn, is some combination of saliency and animacy specific to a given language.

8. Dative shift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dative_shift

   Unlike English which demonstrates the goal phrase c-commanding the theme phrase, Korean shows an opposite order, in which the theme phrase is in fact c-commanding the goal phrase. The example below, given in Larson's (1988) work, [6] shows the theme phrase being c-commanded by the goal phrase in the double object construction in English.
