Datapoint Pidgin Hawaiian/Alignment of case marking of full noun phrases

Pidgin Hawaiian, like its lexifier, aligns A with S, and in the case of neuter verbs (defined by Bauer (1993) as verbs which have non-agentive NPs as their subject, express their agents via an oblique argument, and which cannot be made passive) patient-like S arguments align with A while their agents have the same case-marking as P. However in Hawaiian, agents of neuter verbs are non-core arguments like passive agents and the same marker i is used with objects and direct objects as with non-term obliques and adverbials. This pattern with i is retained marginally in the pidgin.
