Unaccusative

非受格

A term used, especially in relational grammar, for intransitive verbs whose subjects originate as object. Break in The vase broke is such a verb, the vase being understood in the same way as it is in John broke the vase, where it is an object. Unaccusative verbs are also known as ergative verbs.

（特别关系语法）用来指一类不及物动词，其主语来自相应的宾语。例如The vase broke“花瓶打碎了”中的break“打碎”就是一个非受格动词，the vase“那只花瓶”跟John broke the vase“约翰打碎了花瓶”中的the vase理解为同一东西，而它在后一句中是宾语。非受格动词也称作格动词。
