Abstract:

Variation in Datives collects new research on the nature of syntactic
micro-variation in datives. The papers in this volume examine different
aspects of internal variation in dative marking, such as agreement and case
alternations, distribution of adpositional structures and dative case-marking,
the different structural positions of dative arguments and their semantic
contribution, and patterns of syncretism in the clitic and/or agreement
system. Interest in these topics has grown significantly in the past 20 years.
Variation in Datives makes a significant contribution to our understanding of
language variation, as it adds the micro-comparative perspective to the
general discussion and includes 10 new articles on a wide range of European
languages, including Greek, Basque, Icelandic, and Serbo-Croatian.

Variation in Datives will appeal to scholars and advanced students of syntax,
linguistic variation, and especially syntactic micro-variation.
