“…The most salient difference between languages with respect to ditransitive constructions concerns the alignment of the coding of the two object arguments, i.e. the question whether it is the R or the T of the ditransitive clause that is coded like the P of the monotransitive clause (Siewierska 2003;Haspelmath 2005a;Malchukov 2013). We have INDIRECTIVE ALIGNMENT when the R is treated in a special way, while the T is treated like the monotransitive P (as in 1b, Kim gave a box to Lee).…”

Across languages, an even more common phenomenon is that of coding splits. For example, French normally uses a preverbal object index when the object is a person form, as in (2a-b). But when there are two person forms and the T is first or second person (locuphoric), the R must be expressed by a prepositional construction and a free personal pronoun (see 2c-d). (2) a.

“…Este sistema se encaixa com o propósito deste artigo (que analisa as propriedades do objeto em Canela), uma vez que permite distinguir entre o argumento P de um predicado de dois argumentos e os argumentos T e R de um predicado de três argumentos: verbo intransitivo S verbo transitivo A P verbo ditransitivo A T R Dryer (2007), Malchukov (2013) e Haspelmath (2015) identificam três tipos principais de alinhamento associados a objetos:…”

Resumo O Canela é a língua falada pelos povos Canela Apa?niekrá e Canela Ramkokamekrá (cerca de três mil indivíduos) que habitam duas terras indígenas (Área Indígena Porquinhos e Área Indígena Kanela, respectivamente), localizadas no estado do Maranhão. Neste artigo, distingo inicialmente os sintagmas posposicionais que são (semanticamente) argumentos e os que são adjuntos em Canela (família Jê, tronco Macro-Jê). A seguir, identifico os argumentos definidos como o paciente (P), o tema (T) e o recipiente (R), e apresento suas respectivas propriedades gramaticais (codificação, comportamento e controle). A conclusão é de que P e T são o objeto direto, enquanto R (de verbos como ‘dar’, ‘contar’ e ‘mostrar’), lexicalmente especificado, é o objeto indireto.

“…In much recent typological research, then, valency and transitivity are not explored primarily in terms of grammatical functions but in terms of core arguments (Dixon and Aikhenvald, 2000;Lazard, 2002;Haspelmath, 2011;Malchukov, 2013). According to this approach, the subject of a transitive clause is A (agent), and is distinguished from the subject of an intransitive clause, which is labelled S (sole/single argument).…”

Valency and Transitivity in a Contact Variety: The Evidence from Cameroon Pidgin English

We explore valency and transitivity patterns in Cameroon Pidgin English (cpe) from a language contact perspective, with particular focus on (a) lexical and (b) constructional phenomena. With respect to (a), many verbs of English origin surface in cpe with additional senses and valency properties to those they display in the lexifier, illustrating the drive towards polysemy in a language with a relatively small lexicon. We also describe category change, whereby English non-verbal expressions (typically adjectives) emerge as verbs in cpe. In terms of (b), verbs undergo valency changes as a consequence of participation in productive serial verb constructions. These constructions are built around a small set of high-frequency verbs, some of which also occur in the light verb construction, which represents another strategy for the creation of complex predicates. We review the evidence for constructional substrate influence. The data under discussion are drawn from two small corpora of spoken cpe.
