Abstract:

The book investigates the nature and properties of indirect objects
and develops a typology of double object constructions on the basis of
an examination of a variety of data within and across languages. It
argues for a four-class division of double object constructions
depending on (a) a type of case on the goal argument and (b) whether
the goal is introduced by a zero applicative head or is an argument of
the main verb. The central questions addressed revolve around
locality, case and the structural representation of double object
constructions.
