In many languages, some adverbials behave like objects of verb. In Korean and Slavic languages, some adverbials are marked with accusative Case. My proposals are as follows: (i) semantically, the adverbials have the same roles as direct objects in that they provide a scale and parameter that measures an event described the verb, (ii) syntactically, they are base-generated, (iii) prepositional elements in these adverbials are always incorporated to V and accusative Case features on their nominal complements are checked by the V-P(k) complex in the Spec of vP (canonical position of accusative Case feature checking). Given the fact that accusative Case on adverbials are always licensed by V, we can account for why they are converted into nominative in the passive in Korean and become genitive in the scope of negation in Russian.
