Topic: Monotransitive

	Monotransitive verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A monotransitive verb is a verb that takes two arguments: a subject and a single direct object.
		The following examples show monotransitive verbs in sentences (the direct object is in boldface):
		Traditionally, transitivity patterns are assigned to the verb as lexical information, but recent research in construction grammar has argued that this is actually a wrong conception, since the same verb very often appears in different contexts of transitivity.

	Object (grammar) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In many languages, the patient of a ditransitive verb is marked in the same way as the single object of a monotransitive verb, and is called the direct object.
		Modern English preserves a case distinction for pronouns, but it has conflated the accusative and the dative into a single objective form (him, her, me, etc., which may function either as direct or indirect objects).
		In some languages, the recipient of a ditransitive verb is marked in the same way as the single object of a monotransitive verb, and is called the primary object.

	Argument Marking in Ditransitive Alignment Types (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		By far the most important source for new ditransitive constructions seems to be metaphorical modeling on the spatial transfer situation, where in general the theme is treated as the P and the directional argument is some kind of oblique argument.
		Lango has subject and object agreement in monotransitive constructions, and in the old ditransitive construction in (8b) the object agreement is with the Recipient, i.e.
		While no correlations between monotransitive alignment types and ditransitive alignment types are found, a number of asymmetries in cross-linguistic frequency distribution can be observed that seem to call for explanations.

		I start with Dryer's (1986) observation that the grammatical behavior of recipient and theme is in many ways analogous to the behavior of (macro-)agent and (macro-)patient in monotransitive constructions, and I pursue the analogy further.
		Corresponding to the basic monotransitive types (accusative, neutral, ergative), there are three ditransitive types: indirective (treating theme like patient), neutral (treating both theme and recipient like patient), and sec¾ndative (treating recipient like patient).
		Even more common are alignment splits depending on lexical classes of verbs, but other types of split which are attested in monotransitives (conditioned by tense/aspect or subordination) do not seem to occur.

		Just as the way the arguments of intransitive and transitive verbs are aligned in a given language allows one sort of typological classification, the alignment between arguments of monotransitive and ditransitive verbs allows another kind of classification.

		Thus, we define the IOC construction as a construction in which the Theme is treated in the same way as the monotransitive Patient, and the Recipient is treated differently, as illustated in (a) in Figure 1.
		In this construction, it is the Recipient that is treated in the same way as the monotransitive Patient (both count as "primary objects"), and the Theme is treated in a special way (it is the "secondary object").
		For instance, in the Algonquian language Ojibwa, the Recipient 'John' agrees with the verb in the same way in which the monotransitive Patient agrees with the verb, whereas the Theme is not indexed on the verb.

		Depending on the type of the verb, an object may be excluded, as in the case of intransitive verbs, or may be required, as in the case of transitive verbs.
		Monotransitive verbs combine with a direct object either in the form of a full noun phrase or in the form of a pronoun.
		Monotransitive verbs can either be of active form, as those used in the above examples, or they may have passive form:

		Balinese is a 'syntactically ergative' language in the sense that the unmarked form of a monotransitive verb has a Theme subject and Agent complement.
		The phenomena of raising, relativization, control, and quantifier float show that the position preceding the verb, where the sole argument of an intransitive appears, is the subject position (Artawa 1994).
		Turning to derived ditransitives, that is, monotransitive roots to which a third term argument has been added, our analysis makes two predictions: Prediction I: Applied OV ditransitives should be 'symmetrical' in the sense that either non-a-subject term can be the subject.

	Question! - Page 5 - UsingEnglish.com ESL Forum
		Assuming that (1)-(4) are correct, we predict that in cases with an unambiguously monotransitive verb like "see", the interpretation like (1b) is the only possibility and that sentences like (5) always require pauses/intonation breaks around "myself" even if it's written as in (6).
		To be more specific, cases where the verb is unambiguously monotransitive (e.g., see) allow only the former (with intonation breaks), and cases where the verb is a potentially ditransitive verb (e.g., find) allow both the former (with intonation breaks) and the latter (without intonation breaks).
		Furthermore, the latter pattern is the same as the ordinary intonation contour for unambiguously ditransitive verbs (e.g., give).

		Split-S languages, however, treat agents and patients in the same way regardless of whether they occur in transitive or intransitive clauses (resulting in a semantic 'split' in the coding of subjects of intransitives depending on the meaning of the verb).
		Bowden explored applicative constructions in Taba, a split-S Austronesian language, to determine whether there is a parallel semantic transparency in the relationship between its ditransitive and monotransitive clauses.

		Thursday March 11th, in room B9 (basement), Adam Ferguson Building Martin Corley, Psychology Department "Syntactic Priming of Production: Arguments, Linear Precedence, Java and Germans" Current theories of language production tend to differentiate between a (syntactic) functional level and a (surface) positional level in the generation of sentences, where functional selection precedes and constrains positional processing.
		In this paper, we present evidence from a syntactic priming study in German, where position, function, and type of constituent are othogonally specified for monotransitive and ditransitive verbs.
		In contrast to findings for English (in which these factors are confounded) we show that previous generation of a ditransitive structure can _inhibit_ the production of a further ditransitive when the order of potential arguments differs between prime and target.

		We show that the English resultative construction is not compatible with verbs that require more than one internal argument.
		A principled explanation for this generalization can only be provided if Resultative Formation in English involves a radical restructuring of the theta-grid of the matrix verb that turns it into a monotransitive verb that subcategorizes for a single object position, possibly in the form of a complex predicate.
		In effect, the fixed argument structure of the English resultative construction prevents any extra internal argument from co-occurring with the resultative as well as requiring a "fake object" for unergative intransitives.

	Notes on Quirk & Greenbaum, Chapter 7
		Notice that the "complex transitives" have embedded one or the other of these.
		There is one simple transitive type, and the verb is marked "monotransitive" because it permits only one object, and that's the direct object.
		The ditransitive gives you the indirect and the direct objects.
