In this article, we argue that the so-called semi-or krijgen-passive is transformationally derived, and hence that dative Case must be considered as a structural Case comparable to accusative Case.Further, we argue that the auxiliaries of the regular and semi-passive are responsible for the assignment of dative and accusative Case in the regular and semi-passive construction, respectively.Additional support for the claim that the (semi-)passive auxiliaries have Case-assigning properties is provided by the (semi-)copular construction, where the same verbs are used as copulas, and the locational hebben/krijgen construction
