When Czech children learn their language's declension patterns, the cases are referred to by number: Some Czech grammatical texts order the cases differently, grouping the nominative and accusative (and the dative and locative) together because those declension patterns are often identical; this order accommodates learners with experience in other inflected languages, such as Latin or Russian.
Critically, the short phrases used in this experiment are canonically ordered grammatical sequences, where the first element (a pronoun or an article) defines the grammatical properties of the subsequent element in a simple linear fashion.
