Partitive case
SYNTAX: instance of inherent case.Partitive case is optionally assigned by unaccusative verbs, such as Italian arrivare, to a post-verbal subject, which is in fact the internal argument:

According to Belletti (1988), partitive case can be assigned if no case (Nominative or Accusative) is assigned otherwise.
