		By ditransitive constructions we mean constructions with verbs of transfer like 'give', 'send', 'show' which require two objects, a Recipient (or receiver) and a Theme (or patient), i.e.
		Before we show examples with ditransitive constructions, we should mention the fact that in spontaneous texts – and this is not only the case in creoles – one has to look hard to find constructions with two overtly expressed objects.
		We divide ditransitive constructions into three major types, depending on the similarities of the Recipient and Theme arguments with the Patient of the monotransitive clause.

		These operators are each associated with a particular verbal grade, and will be discussed in the section on verbal grades.
		It is easiest to think of the arguments of ditransitive predicates in terms of an "argument chain." The head of the chain is the argument instigating the action (the agent) and the tail of the chain is the affected argument (the patient or theme).
		The third argument is an intermediate member of the chain and indicates location, goal, benefactive, or instrument.

	Constructions - Explaining the Ditransitive Person-Role Constraint
		It says that when a loose combination of expressions becomes entrenched and is conventionalized as a separate construction, which particular elements may figure in the construction often depends on their frequency of occurrence.
		The goal of this article is to explain the Ditransitive Person-Role Constraint, a universal preference disfavoring certain ditransitive construction types involving bound object pronouns whose effects can be observed in many languages.
		In this paper, by contrast, I argue for a usage-based (or functional) explanation of the Ditransitive Person-Role Constraint, and I argue against alternative explanations, especially explanations that explicitly or implicitly appeal to Universal Grammar.

	Ditransitive verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In grammar, a ditransitive verb is a verb which takes a subject and two objects.
		In languages which mark grammatical case, it is common to differentiate the objects of a ditransitive verb using, for example, the accusative case for the direct object, and the dative case for the indirect object (but this morphological alignment is not unique; see below).
		English has a number of generally ditransitive verbs, such as give and grant, and many transitive verbs that can take an additional argument (commonly a beneficiary or target of the action), such as pass, read, bake, etc.:

	Goldberg: The English Ditransitive Construction
		Ditransitive expressions are syntactically unique in allowing two nonpredicative noun phrases to occur directly after the verb; the fact that English will allow such a configuration is not predictable from other constructions in the language.
		The semantics of the ditransitive construction has not been understudied, and this work owes a large debt to previous analyses, in particular to Cattell (1984), Green (1974), and Oehrle (1976) for their detailed discussion of hundreds of ditransitive expressions.
		In this chapter the central sense of the ditransitive construction has been argued to be associated with a highly specific semantic structure, that of successful transfer between a volitional agent and a willing recipient.

	Dechticaetiative language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		A dechticaetiative language is a language in which the indirect objects of ditransitive verbs are treated like the direct objects of monotransitive verbs.
		Ditransitive verbs have two arguments other than the subject: a patient that undegoes the action and a recipient or beneficiary that receives the patient (see thematic role).
		In a dechticaetiative language, the recipient of a ditransitive verb is treated in the same way as the single object of a monotransitive verb, and this syntactic category is called primary object.

		One and the same argument structure, on this view, is expressed by the ditransitive and dative patterns as in 1 and 2: (1) She gave him an apple.
		For example, the ditransitive or double object construction requires its goal be animate, while the dative construction does not: (3) Chris sent them a package.
		The idea that the ditransitive constrains the recipient argument to be non-focal may ultimately help account for certain interesting facts about how the ditransitive construction interacts with long-distance dependency constructions and the passive construction in English.

	Kordoni LFG04 Abstract
		That is, recipients in Modern Greek genitive ditransitive constructions may be realized in two ways as they are open to two semantic characterizations (see also Goldsmith 1980 for English): (i) a type of possessor, (ii) a type of goal, as the Localist Hypothesis predicts (cf., also Gruber 1965, Jackendoff 1972).
		The consequence of the availability of two semantic characterizations for recipients in the case of Modern Greek genitive ditransitive constructions (i.e., possessors and goals) is that recipients have also two potential modes of syntactic instantiation: (i) a genitive case-marked NP (see example (2)), (ii) a PP ("s-tin" (to)-phrase in example (1)).
		This proposal is strongly supported by the evidence from adjectival passives and nominalizations in relation to Modern Greek double accusative ditransitive constructions, which shows that with predicates heading double accusative ditransitives either the "theme" or the "recipient" argument exhibits ``object'' properties, depending on which is (the primary) object.

	BLENDING AS A CENTRAL PROCESS OF GRAMMAR
		Call this schema "D" for "ditransitive schema." By itself, the verb "pour" does not evoke D ("The water poured out of the drain pipe"), yet when "pour" is used in the ditransitive syntax ("Bill poured Mary some wine"), the construction evokes schema D: Bill causes the transfer of a glass of wine to Mary.
		In the ditransitive construction, the second postverbal noun always refers to the patient (metaphoric or not) of the causal agent's action, whether or not that patient is also the transferred object (metaphoric or not).
		The blend inherits the ditransitive syntax associated with D', and, as always in the ditransitive, the patient of the causal action (a dragon, two messages, a bass trombone) is assigned to the second postverbal noun.

	English Ditransitive Verbs: Aspects of Theory, Description and a Usage-based Model (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Broadly speaking, structuralist and functionalist, corpus-linguistic and cognitive frameworks have turned out to offer plausible concepts for a comprehensive and empirical description of ditransitive verbs and ditransitive complementation, whereas generative grammar in particular is rejected on grounds of its lack of data-orientation and its highly speculative and theory-internal assumptions which defy empirical evidence.
		In general, the present work describes the use of ditransitive verbs in actual language use and develops, on this basis, a usage-based model of speakers' linguistic knowledge of ditransitive verbs.
		In developing a usage-based model of ditransitive verbs on the basis of corpus data, Langacker's (1999) cognitive grammar approach with its lexical and constructional networks provides a suitable framework.

	On Processing German Verb-Final Constructions: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		All of these experiments employ the same two-factor (2x2) design in which the verbs Elexical preferences (monotransitive vs. ditransitive bias) and the respective fit between the number of ar-guments specified in the sentence and the verb’s lexical preferences (matching vs. mismatching) were orthogonally specified (3a-d).
		The verbs were matched for lexical token frequency, and the respective argument structure preferences were confirmed by a sentence completion study run on a different sample of participants than the other experiments.
		To summarise the predictions outlined in the introduction, a frequency-based model predicts a main effect of a match vs. mismatch between preferred verb valency and the number of arguments specified in the sentence (processing difficulty in case of a mismatch, regardless of the type of verb involved, cf.

	Clause-level constituents
		Ditransitive verbs are defined as verbs that can appear with two NP objects.
		When a ditransitive verb takes an animate NP and a clause, rather than two NPs, the label of the animate NP remains the same as in the case with two NPs, preserving the parellelism between the two cases.
		Class II ditransitive verbs, the remaining object is treated in a way that maximizes the parallelism between active and passive,

	Verb Types (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		There are two ways of looking at ditransitive and complex transitive verbs, you can simply assume that complex transitive verbs are just a type of ditransitive verb or you can decide that they are another separate type in themselves.
		In 30 we have the same sense of transferral of action as before, but 31 and 32 are different they don't have this feeling of tranferral or even the sense of action, we might say that they don't look transitive at all.
		This is a much more profound difference than between the ditransitive verbs which need prepostions and those which don't.

		The present chapter will propose a model of speakers' linguistic knowledge about ditransitive verbs that is firmly based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of corpus data.
		Ditransitivity in general is a good example of a fuzzy category with a central core area and a periphery with fluid boundaries.
		Important concepts that need to be taken into consideration are the cognitivelinguistic and psycholinguistic notions of prototype and schema as well as the Prague-school notions of core and periphery (see section 4.2).

		-4- Ditransitive verbs Noun phrases as both indirect and direct object: Ditransitive complementation in its basic form involves two object noun phrases: an indirect object and a direct object.
		Ditransitive verbs with prepositional objects normally have only the first passive.
		Most ditransitive verbs that take two noun phrases as objects can also be paraphrased with a Prepositional object equivalent to the indirect object: Ex.: Robert read me a chapter.

		The alternative is to assume that the form and general interpretation of basic sentence patterns of a language are determined by semantic and/or syntactic information specified by the main verb.
		The ditransitive form evokes the notion of transfer or “giving.” This is in contrast to possible paraphrases.
		For example, the specification of the ditransitive construction that requires an animate recipient argument conflicts with the meaning of storage resulting in the unacceptability of (9c).

		One might hope that, as a result, the structural representations would be straightforward, but unfortunately this is not the case, and some of the derivations are incredibly abstract.
		Although there are certainly excellent empirical reasons for the establishment of traces (shown as t on the tree), empty categories (shown as Ø), and two different kinds of verb phrase (vp and VP), it is hard to see that the representation of this sentence is simple and straightforward.
		We are born with the structure of grammar in our brains, and the job of acquiring the grammar of a first language is simply to determine the parameter settings, such as whether a head comes at the beginning or the end of its phrase.
