Line 1:
In [[linguistics]], a '''cognate object''' (or '''cognate accusative''') is a [[verb]]'s [[object (grammar)|object]] that is etymologically related to the verb. More specifically, the verb is one that is ordinarily [[intransitive]] (lacking any object), and the cognate object is simply the verb's [[noun]] form. This verb also has a passive form.For example, in the sentence ''He slept a troubled sleep'', ''sleep'' is the cognate object of the verb ''slept''.And the passive is ''A troubled sleep was slept by him.''
