초록

The purpose of this paper is to investigate English double object construction and dative construction in terms of Role and Reference Grammar [RRG], with some reference to corresponding Korean constructions. In this paper, it is argued that the double object construction and the dative construction in English both involve the asymmetric (i.e., non-neutral alignment) structures typologically. The asymmetric structures are claimed to support the claim that the linking algorithm in RRG should be regarded as a lexical approach, and should reflect the different meanings in the Logical Structures. It is also claimed that beneficiary applicative mechanisms are employed to account for the marked undergoer selection of non-core arguments in English double object construction. Furthermore, it is shown that the same asymmetric structures should be posited for English beneficiary applicatives. It is also argued that there should be a single undergoer in English clause. This claim is naturally associated with the asymmetric structures for the double object construction.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate English double object construction and dative construction in terms of Role and Reference Grammar [RRG], with some reference to corresponding Korean constructions. In this paper, it is argued that the double object construction and the dative construction in English both involve the asymmetric (i.e., non-neutral alignment) structures typologically. The asymmetric structures are claimed to support the claim that the linking algorithm in RRG should be regarded as a lexical approach, and should reflect the different meanings in the Logical Structures. It is also claimed that beneficiary applicative mechanisms are employed to account for the marked undergoer selection of non-core arguments in English double object construction. Furthermore, it is shown that the same asymmetric structures should be posited for English beneficiary applicatives. It is also argued that there should be a single undergoer in English clause. This claim is naturally associated with the asymmetric structures for the double object construction.
