Morphology, 2010
In this study we investigate the impact of affectedness on the diachronic development of Differential Object Marking (DOM) in Spanish. DOM in Spanish synchronically depends on (i) the referential features of the direct object, such as animacy and referentiality, and (ii) the semantics of the verb.

Differential object marking in Neo-Aramaic

Linguistics, 2014
Many languages differentiate between different types of objects, com- monly marking definite or highly animate objects. Crosslinguistically, two strate- gies for differentiating such objects are attested. One is differential object flagging (DOF), whereby an object is flagged by a case-marker or adposition. Another is differential object agreement (DOA)
