Yes Gideon, but they always only mention tje same few languages (those
also mentioned by Giorgio), he's asking if anyone can give him data from
OTHER languages!<br>

Giorgio is asking specifically about the alternation between two or more
overt case markers, not about any differential object marking. While the
latter is common, the former seems to be quite rare.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Dear all, <br><br>
I am writing to inquire whether anyone on this list is aware of languages
where direct objects exhibit an alternation between <u>two (or more)
overt</u> case markers.<br>
Examples of such languages are Finnic languages (Finnish, Estonian,
Karelian, etc.) quite a few Indo-European languages (Russian, Polish,
Ancient Greek, Vedic, etc.), and a few Polynesian languages (Samoan,
Tongan, etc.), where there is an alternation i) between accusative and
partitive/genitive or ii) between two overt markers, depending on a
variety of factors, such as event (un)boundedness, polarity,
affectedness, quantification. <br><br>
My general impression is that such an alternation in direct object
encoding is fairly rare cross-linguistically. So if anybody is familiar
with examples of languages where this pattern is found and is not limited
to just a handful of verbs, please let me know. I would be very grateful.
<br><br>
Thank you very much in advance,<br><br>
