In previous studies, the syntactic and semantic properties that characterize Double Object Constructions (DOC) and Pre/Postpositional Dative Constructions (PDC) were mainly based on English data. Nonetheless, there is empirical evidence that challenges several received claims that seem not to fully account for the (un)acceptability of DOCs in other languages. That is, the dative arguments in Korean and Spanish exhibit similar and different syntactic behaviors (e.g., (un)acceptability of passivized DOCs with accusative marker -ul/lul in Korean vs (un)acceptability of passivized DOCs with dative clitic doubling). This study presents results obtained from an acceptability judgment task to investigate whether and to what extent the syntactic class of the verb affects acceptability of Korean DOCs in which the accusative case marker -(l)ul appears on more than one NP in a single sentence in Korean (Yi & Park, 2022). Despite syntactic similarities in the two languages, few studies have investigated experimentally the crosslinguistic conditions that constrain the two types of DOCs in the two languages; particularly none of the studies has examined which factors affect the acceptability of DOCs in Spanish. Therefore, the study also examined two accounts of Spanish DOCs by investigating whether the presence of the dative clitic influences the structural change of dative constructions. Results of the Experiment 1 show that although native speakers of Korean were more accepting of the post-prepositional dative sentences than of the DOCs, the acceptability was affected by the syntactic class of the verb (ditransitive verb vs V+V compound verb (transitive verb + cwu- ‘give’)) and that the acceptability rating was gradient rather than strictly binary. Results of the Experiment 2 show that native speakers of Spanish were more accepting of non-clitic doubled sentences than of clitic doubled sentences and that the acceptability rating was gradient, supporting Pineda’s (2020a) account. Altogether, the results shown in the acceptability rating suggests that although a varying degree of productivity exists across the two languages, there are two types of DOCs in these languages.
Abstract
In previous studies, the syntactic and semantic properties that characterize Double Object Constructions (DOC) and Pre/Postpositional Dative Constructions (PDC) were mainly based on English data. Nonetheless, there is empirical evidence that challenges several received claims that seem not to fully account for the (un)acceptability of DOCs in other languages. That is, the dative arguments in Korean and Spanish exhibit similar and different syntactic behaviors (e.g., (un)acceptability of passivized DOCs with accusative marker -ul/lul in Korean vs (un)acceptability of passivized DOCs with dative clitic doubling). This study presents results obtained from an acceptability judgment task to investigate whether and to what extent the syntactic class of the verb affects acceptability of Korean DOCs in which the accusative case marker -(l)ul appears on more than one NP in a single sentence in Korean (Yi & Park, 2022). Despite syntactic similarities in the two languages, few studies have investigated experimentally the crosslinguistic conditions that constrain the two types of DOCs in the two languages; particularly none of the studies has examined which factors affect the acceptability of DOCs in Spanish. Therefore, the study also examined two accounts of Spanish DOCs by investigating whether the presence of the dative clitic influences the structural change of dative constructions. Results of the Experiment 1 show that although native speakers of Korean were more accepting of the post-prepositional dative sentences than of the DOCs, the acceptability was affected by the syntactic class of the verb (ditransitive verb vs V+V compound verb (transitive verb + cwu- ‘give’)) and that the acceptability rating was gradient rather than strictly binary. Results of the Experiment 2 show that native speakers of Spanish were more accepting of non-clitic doubled sentences than of clitic doubled sentences and that the acceptability rating was gradient, supporting Pineda’s (2020a) account. Altogether, the results shown in the acceptability rating suggests that although a varying degree of productivity exists across the two languages, there are two types of DOCs in these languages.
