dom and datives in Basque
Not as homogeneous as they might seem
Ane Odria | University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)
This paper analyzes the syntax of dom and causee, experiencer, goal and possessor datives in Basque. It presents
novel criteria distinguishing their categorical status: the possibility (i) to license Depictive Secondary Predication (DSP) and (ii) to
appear as non-agreeing in contexts affected by the Person Case Constraint (PCC). It argues that, contrary to the
rest of the datives, goals are generated as PPs, since they are unable to license DSP, but able to occur as non-agreeing in
PCC-affected contexts. Besides, despite exhibiting the same categorical status as causee, experiencer and possessor datives, it
claims that dom objects are syntactically identical to canonical absolutives, as they show the same configurational as well as Case
licensing pattern, which is based on v-Agree.
Keywords: Basque, syntax, Differential Object Marking (), datives
