초록
Ditransitive constructions in English display a wide variation in acceptability judgments. The present paper attempts to account for this variation within the framework of prototype theory. Specifically, it proposes a ditransitive prototype based on both the semantic features identified in previous research as relevant to prototypical transitivity and the properties that characterize the canonical ditransitive verb give. Arguing that the acceptability of ditransitive constructions is a reflex of their proximity to the proposed ditransitive prototype, the paper demonstrates that the "ditransitivity" of a given clause is determined by an interplay between the objective properties of the clause itself and the speaker's subjective construal of the event described in the clause.
Abstract
Ditransitive constructions in English display a wide variation in acceptability judgments. The present paper attempts to account for this variation within the framework of prototype theory. Specifically, it proposes a ditransitive prototype based on both the semantic features identified in previous research as relevant to prototypical transitivity and the properties that characterize the canonical ditransitive verb give. Arguing that the acceptability of ditransitive constructions is a reflex of their proximity to the proposed ditransitive prototype, the paper demonstrates that the "ditransitivity" of a given clause is determined by an interplay between the objective properties of the clause itself and the speaker's subjective construal of the event described in the clause.
