Description
This rich volume explores the cross-linguistic variation in ditransitive constructions, syntactic patterns of 'give'-like verbs taking Agent, Theme and Recipient arguments. The volume includes a typological overview of ditransitive constructions, the editors' questionnaire, as well as 23 in-depth studies of ditransitive constructions in languages from all over the world, written by leading experts.
