The paper discusses some possible interpretations of the notion ‘argument sharing’ in the analysis of Oriya serial verb constructions (SVCs). The paper in particular addresses the notion of ‘token-sharing’. We argue that the concept of token-sharing, although, due to its rigour, theoretically the most interesting construct, cannot be maintained for object sharing in Oriya VP-serialization. We therewith aim at exposing salient properties both of the construction type and the notion itself.
