@DariusJahandarie, haven't had time to hunt down or read the papers. The examples of ～を[ADJ], and particularly ～をほしい, are fascinatingly odd. I really must wonder if we're not seeing changes in grammar through influence from other languages, notably English where want is unambiguously a transitive verb. So too with 分かる vs. understand. I don't suppose you have any information on when this ～を[ADJ] or ～を分かる grammar pattern appears in the historical record?
