Possession and the double object construction

Linguistic Variation Yearbook, 2002
This paper argues that double-object verbs decompose into two heads, an external-argumentselecting CAUSE predicate (vCAUSE) and a prepositional element, PHAVE. Two primary types of argument are presented. First, a consideration of the well-known Oerhle’s generalization effects in English motivate such a decomposition, in combination with a ...

On the Double Object Construction and the Oblique Construction in Cantonese

Studies in Language, 1997
The double-object construction has always been a controversial issue in linguistic theory. In Chinese we encounter an interesting and peculiar situation: both Mandarin and Cantonese have the dative construction with the indirect object (IO) introduced by a dative preposition (V + DO + Prep. + IO), but when the preposition is absent, the indirect object

On the Emergence of the Inverted Double Object Construction in Hakka

Journal of Chinese Linguistics, 2020
透過歷時和跨方言的語料檢視，本文旨在探討客家話倒置雙賓式的起源。巴色會文獻中的「俾／畀／奔」之用法顯現了單及物持拿義動詞的特點，本文由此出發，提出幾項證據，證明倒置雙賓式源自於介賓補語式的介詞省略，省略的動因是構式義和介詞義之間的語意冗餘，而非如文獻中所言，肇因於同音刪略或因介賓補語式高頻使用而刪略，此外，為促使此結構的產生，此結構中的動詞之類型頻率必須維持在低頻，以便達到較高的語意連貫性，這個觀點可以解釋為何出現在倒置雙賓式中的動詞普遍來說都遠不如介賓補語式來得豐富和多樣。

Studies in Chinese Language and Discourse, 2022

The double object constructions in Archaic Chinese*

Cahiers de Linguistique Asie Orientale, 2008
This article demonstrates that double object constructions in Archaic Chinese display both patterns of direct and indirect object marking (DO+IO) and primary and secondary object marking (PO+SO). We propose two constraints to account for the grammatical distribution of GIVE verbs in the double object construction with PO+SO marking in Archaic Chinese.
