 keywords  case marking, direct object, Optimality
 abstract  There are a number of disparate languages that only mark a subset of their direct objects overtly. Using an Optimality Theoretical framework Aissen (2002) gave an account of this phenomenon when it occurs based on the semantic features (definiteness or animacy) of the direct object. In this paper I try to widen the circle of analysis by including Differential Object Marking (DOM) based on the morphology of the direct object (data is taken from Hungarian) and syntactical DOM (data is taken from Chichewa).
