This book offers a comprehensive investigative study of the argument realisation of the concepts of causative purpose, permit, let/allow and transfer in a broad cross-linguistic typologically diverse mix of languages with GIVE, GET, TAKE, PUT, and LET verbs. This volume stands as the first systematic exploration of these verbs and concepts as they occur in complex events and clauses. This book brings together scholars and researchers from a variety of functionally inspired theoretical backgrounds that have worked on these verbs within one language or from a cross-linguistic perspective. The objective is to understand the linguistic behaviour of the verbs and their inter-relationships within a contemporary cognitive-functional linguistic perspective. The languages represented include Irish, German, Slavic (West Slavic: Polish, Czech, Slovak and Sorbian and Western South Slavic: Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian), Germanic, Romance, Gan Chinese Yichun dialect, Māori, Bohairic Coptic, Shaowu Chinese, Hebrew, English, Lithuanian, Estonian, the Australian dialects Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, Italian, and Persian. Topics discussed include argument structure and the encoding of arguments under causation, permission and transferverbs, their lexical semantics and event structure.

This paper explores the encoding of the concepts of transfer, let/allow and permission with give, put, take, get, let and permit verbs of Modern Irish and issues with syntactic construction patterns, argument realisation, event chaining and complex multi-verb clauses. These concepts are explored as part of the dimensions of causation, direct and indirect, with other factors such as control over causer/causee in causal event chaining in complex clauses. In such complex constructions the multiple events are embedded and arguments shared across verbs in nexus juncture relations and we characterise these for Modern Irish. The paper addresses the mapping at the semantic-syntactic interface across these verbs and is presented within a functional characterisation.

In many languages, there is a morphological marker or a lexical expression for a situation in which an agent brings about a state of affairs or makes somebody else do something. In German, both variants of formal marking for causativity are found only very rarely. The main expression of causativity in German is the lassen construction. This is a complex predicate construction with the auxiliary lassen (‘let’), whose semantics can vary within a spectrum of meanings involving direct causation, but also permission and non-intervention. The paper introduces the construction in detail, and sets it in relation to variants of the expression of causativity across languages. The syntax and semantics of the construction is discussed extensively, and it is represented in a Constructional Schema that displays its features. It is argued that cultural knowledge is a useful resource to help the user resolve the semantic ambiguity of the construction. The paper discusses alternatives for the expression of causativity in German, as well, and it comments on the notion of ‘transfer’ and its relation to the expression of causativity.

This paper gives an overview of grammaticalized constructions involving ‘give’ in the Slavic languages. The most widespread functions concern causatives ranging from permissive (‘letting’) to factitive (‘making’ or ‘having’) and a modal maker constructed with a reflexive (‘let itself’ > ‘it is possible’). These constructions are most widely developed in the West Slavic (Polish, Czech, Slovak and Sorbian) and Western South Slavic (Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian) languages. In Russian and the other East Slavic Languages Ukrainian and Belarusian, the use of hortative and imperative markers is more conspicuous. Further developments include the use of an existential construction closely modeling German ‘es gibt’ and an isolated optative function in Sorbian, as well as a volative construction in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. While some of these developments reflect well known grammaticalization paths, others more clearly reflect idiosyncratic areal patterns converging with German models. An attempt is made to evaluate possible factors and pathways in the development of these constructions, paying special attention to the factor of language contact.

Words and constructions regularly have multiple meanings, and it may be difficult delineating these meanings and whether they are instances of monosemy or polysemy. This paper discusses this problem with regard to some uses of ‘give’. Some uses fall under the definition of a literal meaning ‘cause someone to obtain something’ (e.g. give someone a present) while others are more figurative such as give someone a slap. A problem for delineating these different senses comes from ‘bridging contexts’ such as give someone a kiss, which can be marginally construed as ‘causing someone to obtain a kiss’ but also as a figurative usage meaning ‘kiss someone’. Evidence for this comes from syntactic tests such as the dative alternation (in which for example give a kiss to your mother is more acceptable than ?give a slap to your mother or *give a wash to the car), and polysemy tests such as zeugma, which yield contradictory results when applied to such bridging contexts. A hypothesis is that individual usages may be situated along a continuum, with no necessity for a sharp cut-off point between different senses. A way of representing this continuum is a semantic map in the sense of Cysouw (2010), with different individual uses separated by a certain ‘semantic distance’ reflecting semantic and syntactic behaviour. The ‘semantic map’ idea is suggested to be a solution to the general problem of how to delineate word senses, and in particular a semantic map which represents a ‘family tree’ of individual uses.

This study investigates how ten European languages from the Germanic, Romance and Slavic groups divide the semantic space of giving. The study is based on exemplars of events of giving extracted from two very different parallel corpora: Bible translations and film subtitles. This probabilistic exemplar-based approach allows for integration of the postclassical categorization models and semantic typology. The analyses show that there was more cross-linguistic variation in verbalization of GIVE in the subtitles than in the Bible translations, and also more cross-linguistic variation at the level of specific verbs than at the level of more abstract constructions. Moreover, there were significant associations between the constructional and lexical ways of expressing GIVE in all languages in the sample. Finally, the way these ten languages cut the semantic space of GIVE conforms to the genetic relationships between them only at the level of specific verbs, but not at the more abstract and iconic constructional level of categorization.

This paper studies ditransitive constructions in Gan Chinese, one of the seven main Chinese language families. Gan dialects have the ‘inverted’ double object construction, as schematized in the order of “verb-DO-IO” (DO stands for direct object and IO for indirect object), as contrasted with the ‘canonical’ double object construction in Mandarin, such as “verb-IO-DO”. According to Zhang (2010), there is no GIVE verb in Gan dialects and they use verbs like take, hold, and obtain in ditransitive constructions instead. On the basis of Zhang, we claim that ditransitives in Gan are often realized by the serial verb construction of V-DO-Directional-IO and that its inverted double object construction is derived from this sequence by deleting a directional element. We diverge from Zhang in claiming that these TAKE-HOLD verbs have developed into three-place predicates, which can be considered as genuine general-purpose GIVE verbs in Gan.

The case-system of Māori is often disputed. Through Role and Reference Grammar, this analysis examines give and take verbs where both accusative and ergative elements of the grammar intersect in argument realisation. Give verbs hoatu and homai pattern accusatively. There are two verbal forms which lexicalise directionality. With preposition choice, the semantic role of the ‘recipient’ is elucidated. The sense and logical structure of the verb will be altered. The prepositions provide insight into possession in Māori. Take in Māori is realised with two verbal forms. Tango exhibits accusative marking, riro exhibits ergative marking. An examination of the give and take verbs in the marked voice, the actor-emphatic and nominalizations underscore some of the challenges in categorizing the Māori case-system.

The subject of this chapter is the competition between two prepositional markers of the Recipient, n- (the dedicated ‘dative’ marker) and e- (basically a marker of the allative), as used with the verb ti ‘give’ and some of its derivates, especially performative verbs, in Bohairic Coptic. The preposition n-/na= appears to be appropriate when the Agent obtains control over the Recipient’s personal sphere (potency, volition, awareness or face) by a transfer of material or symbolic goods or by communicative acts. The preposition e-/ero= can appear when the Recipient’s personal sphere is not accessible for the Agent’s control or when the Agent provokes externally observable reactions of the Recipient without necessarily controlling his or her personal sphere.

This paper looks at the polysemous, multifunctional Shaowu verb [tie53] which means ‘to get’ in a mono-transitive construction, and which is relexified to mean ‘to give’ in a ditransitive construction through the process of semantically coerced syntactic change. The morpheme then grammaticalises along a bifurcated pathway to become possibility modal suffix, verb complement marker, dative, benefactive, causative and passive markers, among other things. This poly-functionality may in part be due to language internal change, but may also be attributed to contact-induced grammaticalisation. Various historical documents are examined to follow the diachronic change, whereas languages from neighbouring dialect groups and language families are considered for the likelihood of areal diffusion of certain constructions and functions of the Shaowu GET/GIVE verb of [tie53].

Three-Argument Dative constructions in Hebrew include two sub constructions, each with a specific form-meaning correlation, a specific usage pattern, and a particular discursive context. Syntactically, the two sub-constructions differ in that the THEME argument can be either (i) a noun phrase, or (ii) an infinitival predicate. In particular, the verb natan ‘give’ represents a prototypical construal in both sub-constructions. That is, with a NP THEME argument the verb natan ‘give’ has its literal meaning. With an infinitival THEME argument, however, the verb has the meaning of ‘allow, enable.’ Analyzing corpus data of the Infinitival complement Construction (ii), I account for these uses of the verb natan ‘give’ in a Usage-Based Construction Grammar perspective (Bybee, 2010). Utilizing the exploratory statistics techniques of Multidimensional Scaling (Borg and Groenen, 2005), Multiple Correspondence Analysis (Greenacre, 2010), and Hierarchical Classification on Principal Components (Husson et al., 2011) on corpus data, I show that multiple factors play a role in structuring an Argument Structure Construction. Furthermore, based on the bottom-up statistical analysis I argue that the verb’s morphological paradigm is one of the main cues for interpreting the relevant event frame and Dative participant roles in Hebrew.

This paper explores patterns of co-occurrence of selected subject pronouns (I, you, she, he) with past, present, and future tense uses of English verbs, with a focus on give, send, and bring. Statistically significant overuse and underuse of the subject pronouns are determined by reference to overall frequencies of subject pronouns and verb tenses in two corpora of spoken language. A key result is that I is overused with give, send, and bring in the future tense but underused in the present and past tenses. Co-occurrence preferences such as these are not easily intuited and demonstrate the value of corpus-based methodologies in refining our notions of the semantics of argument structure.

Lithuanian is one of the Baltic languages and has complex word relations in a sentence. GIVE is one of the verbs that illustrate the interrelatedness between morphological functions, syntactic restrictions and semantics. The analysis includes an overview of the verb’s GIVE meanings, outlines morphological restrictions, presenting the morpho-semantic interface discussing word prefixation and suffixation, referring to Ambrazas (2006) and Holvoet and Semenienė (2004). Thereafter, the most common syntactic patterns are established revealing the complexity of the Lithuanian phrase and sentence formation. This study reviews the issues of cases, specifically genitive and accusative cases of the noun which appeared as a theme and the semantic meaning transfer using these cases in simple sentences. Role and Reference Grammar was adapted for the analysis of the examples with the simplified logical structure.

The paper presents an overview of the development of the Estonian take + Vinf1 construction from runic songs to modern Estonian, with an emphasis on the study of Old Written Estonian. Proceeding from construction grammar, grammaticalization theory and statistical corpus analysis we discuss three grammatical functions of the construction – aspect (volitional ingressive), agent-oriented modality and future. The main focus is on the vernacular usage of võtma ‘take’ in the Vinf1 construction as quasi-auxiliary of future in Old Written Estonian. In the 18th and 19th century the construction was widely used for expressing all three grammatical functions. By the 20th century its frequency had decreased considerably due to the prescriptive grammar approach and in modern Estonian the construction is no longer used for expressing future.

This paper will look at the phenomenon of causation in two dialects of the Western Desert in Australia, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara (P/Y). The grammar will be discussed under the paradigm of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG), which is intended to be able to be used globally for the description of any language. There is a continuum of causation from direct to indirect involvement, and from compact constructions to purposive or goal oriented actions. We look at lexical, morphological and syntactic marking of causation in P/Y which has a mixed ergative/accusative system and limited polysynthesis. We find that causation is shown lexically, morphologically by the use of suffixes, and syntactically by dependent subclauses. Direct causation through suffixing is linked to intransitive verbs and changes of state rather than to transitive verbs. Characteristic of P/Y is the serial verb participle, which in some cases involves light verbs that imply causation.

Much of the literature on Italian causatives is concerned with the syntactic status of the constructions, their derivation from a Deeper Structure, and the lexical status of the causative verb employed. I will review a selection of such claims, pointing out that some of these claims may not in fact be as strongly backed by the available data as implied. I then move on to describe some basic properties of the Italian fare causative, presenting independent linguistic evidence of its use. Some interesting generalizations emerging from this analysis are presented here, with regard to intentional versus non-intentional readings and with how differently marked Causees conveys different meanings. These observations will also be analysed in the light of known typological universals relating to causative structures.

This chapter aims to study the prepositional marking and the postpositional marking of the recipient in the Persian non-canonical ditransitive alignments, which are associated respectively with a particular role that the recipient as topic or exhaustive focus plays in the information-structural representation of the benefactive event. I will argue that overriding of the theme and recipient by each other with respect to topicality, grammatically achieved by utilizing two distinct operations including preposing and left-dislocation, determines the intended grammatical marking of the recipient. Moreover, the pragmatic alternation between the two types of coding portrays a constructional pattern which will be accounted for in terms of a Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) framework.

This book offers a comprehensive investigative study of the argument realisation of the concepts of causative purpose, permit, let/allow and transfer in a broad cross-linguistic typologically diverse mix of languages with GIVE, GET, TAKE, PUT, and LET verbs. This volume stands as the first systematic exploration of these verbs and concepts as they occur in complex events and clauses. This book brings together scholars and researchers from a variety of functionally inspired theoretical backgrounds that have worked on these verbs within one language or from a cross-linguistic perspective. The objective is to understand the linguistic behaviour of the verbs and their inter-relationships within a contemporary cognitive-functional linguistic perspective. The languages represented include Irish, German, Slavic (West Slavic: Polish, Czech, Slovak and Sorbian and Western South Slavic: Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian), Germanic, Romance, Gan Chinese Yichun dialect, Māori, Bohairic Coptic, Shaowu Chinese, Hebrew, English, Lithuanian, Estonian, the Australian dialects Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, Italian, and Persian. Topics discussed include argument structure and the encoding of arguments under causation, permission and transferverbs, their lexical semantics and event structure.

This paper explores the encoding of the concepts of transfer, let/allow and permission with give, put, take, get, let and permit verbs of Modern Irish and issues with syntactic construction patterns, argument realisation, event chaining and complex multi-verb clauses. These concepts are explored as part of the dimensions of causation, direct and indirect, with other factors such as control over causer/causee in causal event chaining in complex clauses. In such complex constructions the multiple events are embedded and arguments shared across verbs in nexus juncture relations and we characterise these for Modern Irish. The paper addresses the mapping at the semantic-syntactic interface across these verbs and is presented within a functional characterisation.

In many languages, there is a morphological marker or a lexical expression for a situation in which an agent brings about a state of affairs or makes somebody else do something. In German, both variants of formal marking for causativity are found only very rarely. The main expression of causativity in German is the lassen construction. This is a complex predicate construction with the auxiliary lassen (‘let’), whose semantics can vary within a spectrum of meanings involving direct causation, but also permission and non-intervention. The paper introduces the construction in detail, and sets it in relation to variants of the expression of causativity across languages. The syntax and semantics of the construction is discussed extensively, and it is represented in a Constructional Schema that displays its features. It is argued that cultural knowledge is a useful resource to help the user resolve the semantic ambiguity of the construction. The paper discusses alternatives for the expression of causativity in German, as well, and it comments on the notion of ‘transfer’ and its relation to the expression of causativity.

This paper gives an overview of grammaticalized constructions involving ‘give’ in the Slavic languages. The most widespread functions concern causatives ranging from permissive (‘letting’) to factitive (‘making’ or ‘having’) and a modal maker constructed with a reflexive (‘let itself’ > ‘it is possible’). These constructions are most widely developed in the West Slavic (Polish, Czech, Slovak and Sorbian) and Western South Slavic (Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian) languages. In Russian and the other East Slavic Languages Ukrainian and Belarusian, the use of hortative and imperative markers is more conspicuous. Further developments include the use of an existential construction closely modeling German ‘es gibt’ and an isolated optative function in Sorbian, as well as a volative construction in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. While some of these developments reflect well known grammaticalization paths, others more clearly reflect idiosyncratic areal patterns converging with German models. An attempt is made to evaluate possible factors and pathways in the development of these constructions, paying special attention to the factor of language contact.

Words and constructions regularly have multiple meanings, and it may be difficult delineating these meanings and whether they are instances of monosemy or polysemy. This paper discusses this problem with regard to some uses of ‘give’. Some uses fall under the definition of a literal meaning ‘cause someone to obtain something’ (e.g. give someone a present) while others are more figurative such as give someone a slap. A problem for delineating these different senses comes from ‘bridging contexts’ such as give someone a kiss, which can be marginally construed as ‘causing someone to obtain a kiss’ but also as a figurative usage meaning ‘kiss someone’. Evidence for this comes from syntactic tests such as the dative alternation (in which for example give a kiss to your mother is more acceptable than ?give a slap to your mother or *give a wash to the car), and polysemy tests such as zeugma, which yield contradictory results when applied to such bridging contexts. A hypothesis is that individual usages may be situated along a continuum, with no necessity for a sharp cut-off point between different senses. A way of representing this continuum is a semantic map in the sense of Cysouw (2010), with different individual uses separated by a certain ‘semantic distance’ reflecting semantic and syntactic behaviour. The ‘semantic map’ idea is suggested to be a solution to the general problem of how to delineate word senses, and in particular a semantic map which represents a ‘family tree’ of individual uses.

This study investigates how ten European languages from the Germanic, Romance and Slavic groups divide the semantic space of giving. The study is based on exemplars of events of giving extracted from two very different parallel corpora: Bible translations and film subtitles. This probabilistic exemplar-based approach allows for integration of the postclassical categorization models and semantic typology. The analyses show that there was more cross-linguistic variation in verbalization of GIVE in the subtitles than in the Bible translations, and also more cross-linguistic variation at the level of specific verbs than at the level of more abstract constructions. Moreover, there were significant associations between the constructional and lexical ways of expressing GIVE in all languages in the sample. Finally, the way these ten languages cut the semantic space of GIVE conforms to the genetic relationships between them only at the level of specific verbs, but not at the more abstract and iconic constructional level of categorization.

This paper studies ditransitive constructions in Gan Chinese, one of the seven main Chinese language families. Gan dialects have the ‘inverted’ double object construction, as schematized in the order of “verb-DO-IO” (DO stands for direct object and IO for indirect object), as contrasted with the ‘canonical’ double object construction in Mandarin, such as “verb-IO-DO”. According to Zhang (2010), there is no GIVE verb in Gan dialects and they use verbs like take, hold, and obtain in ditransitive constructions instead. On the basis of Zhang, we claim that ditransitives in Gan are often realized by the serial verb construction of V-DO-Directional-IO and that its inverted double object construction is derived from this sequence by deleting a directional element. We diverge from Zhang in claiming that these TAKE-HOLD verbs have developed into three-place predicates, which can be considered as genuine general-purpose GIVE verbs in Gan.

The case-system of Māori is often disputed. Through Role and Reference Grammar, this analysis examines give and take verbs where both accusative and ergative elements of the grammar intersect in argument realisation. Give verbs hoatu and homai pattern accusatively. There are two verbal forms which lexicalise directionality. With preposition choice, the semantic role of the ‘recipient’ is elucidated. The sense and logical structure of the verb will be altered. The prepositions provide insight into possession in Māori. Take in Māori is realised with two verbal forms. Tango exhibits accusative marking, riro exhibits ergative marking. An examination of the give and take verbs in the marked voice, the actor-emphatic and nominalizations underscore some of the challenges in categorizing the Māori case-system.

The subject of this chapter is the competition between two prepositional markers of the Recipient, n- (the dedicated ‘dative’ marker) and e- (basically a marker of the allative), as used with the verb ti ‘give’ and some of its derivates, especially performative verbs, in Bohairic Coptic. The preposition n-/na= appears to be appropriate when the Agent obtains control over the Recipient’s personal sphere (potency, volition, awareness or face) by a transfer of material or symbolic goods or by communicative acts. The preposition e-/ero= can appear when the Recipient’s personal sphere is not accessible for the Agent’s control or when the Agent provokes externally observable reactions of the Recipient without necessarily controlling his or her personal sphere.

This paper looks at the polysemous, multifunctional Shaowu verb [tie53] which means ‘to get’ in a mono-transitive construction, and which is relexified to mean ‘to give’ in a ditransitive construction through the process of semantically coerced syntactic change. The morpheme then grammaticalises along a bifurcated pathway to become possibility modal suffix, verb complement marker, dative, benefactive, causative and passive markers, among other things. This poly-functionality may in part be due to language internal change, but may also be attributed to contact-induced grammaticalisation. Various historical documents are examined to follow the diachronic change, whereas languages from neighbouring dialect groups and language families are considered for the likelihood of areal diffusion of certain constructions and functions of the Shaowu GET/GIVE verb of [tie53].

Three-Argument Dative constructions in Hebrew include two sub constructions, each with a specific form-meaning correlation, a specific usage pattern, and a particular discursive context. Syntactically, the two sub-constructions differ in that the THEME argument can be either (i) a noun phrase, or (ii) an infinitival predicate. In particular, the verb natan ‘give’ represents a prototypical construal in both sub-constructions. That is, with a NP THEME argument the verb natan ‘give’ has its literal meaning. With an infinitival THEME argument, however, the verb has the meaning of ‘allow, enable.’ Analyzing corpus data of the Infinitival complement Construction (ii), I account for these uses of the verb natan ‘give’ in a Usage-Based Construction Grammar perspective (Bybee, 2010). Utilizing the exploratory statistics techniques of Multidimensional Scaling (Borg and Groenen, 2005), Multiple Correspondence Analysis (Greenacre, 2010), and Hierarchical Classification on Principal Components (Husson et al., 2011) on corpus data, I show that multiple factors play a role in structuring an Argument Structure Construction. Furthermore, based on the bottom-up statistical analysis I argue that the verb’s morphological paradigm is one of the main cues for interpreting the relevant event frame and Dative participant roles in Hebrew.

This paper explores patterns of co-occurrence of selected subject pronouns (I, you, she, he) with past, present, and future tense uses of English verbs, with a focus on give, send, and bring. Statistically significant overuse and underuse of the subject pronouns are determined by reference to overall frequencies of subject pronouns and verb tenses in two corpora of spoken language. A key result is that I is overused with give, send, and bring in the future tense but underused in the present and past tenses. Co-occurrence preferences such as these are not easily intuited and demonstrate the value of corpus-based methodologies in refining our notions of the semantics of argument structure.

Lithuanian is one of the Baltic languages and has complex word relations in a sentence. GIVE is one of the verbs that illustrate the interrelatedness between morphological functions, syntactic restrictions and semantics. The analysis includes an overview of the verb’s GIVE meanings, outlines morphological restrictions, presenting the morpho-semantic interface discussing word prefixation and suffixation, referring to Ambrazas (2006) and Holvoet and Semenienė (2004). Thereafter, the most common syntactic patterns are established revealing the complexity of the Lithuanian phrase and sentence formation. This study reviews the issues of cases, specifically genitive and accusative cases of the noun which appeared as a theme and the semantic meaning transfer using these cases in simple sentences. Role and Reference Grammar was adapted for the analysis of the examples with the simplified logical structure.

The paper presents an overview of the development of the Estonian take + Vinf1 construction from runic songs to modern Estonian, with an emphasis on the study of Old Written Estonian. Proceeding from construction grammar, grammaticalization theory and statistical corpus analysis we discuss three grammatical functions of the construction – aspect (volitional ingressive), agent-oriented modality and future. The main focus is on the vernacular usage of võtma ‘take’ in the Vinf1 construction as quasi-auxiliary of future in Old Written Estonian. In the 18th and 19th century the construction was widely used for expressing all three grammatical functions. By the 20th century its frequency had decreased considerably due to the prescriptive grammar approach and in modern Estonian the construction is no longer used for expressing future.

This paper will look at the phenomenon of causation in two dialects of the Western Desert in Australia, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara (P/Y). The grammar will be discussed under the paradigm of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG), which is intended to be able to be used globally for the description of any language. There is a continuum of causation from direct to indirect involvement, and from compact constructions to purposive or goal oriented actions. We look at lexical, morphological and syntactic marking of causation in P/Y which has a mixed ergative/accusative system and limited polysynthesis. We find that causation is shown lexically, morphologically by the use of suffixes, and syntactically by dependent subclauses. Direct causation through suffixing is linked to intransitive verbs and changes of state rather than to transitive verbs. Characteristic of P/Y is the serial verb participle, which in some cases involves light verbs that imply causation.

Much of the literature on Italian causatives is concerned with the syntactic status of the constructions, their derivation from a Deeper Structure, and the lexical status of the causative verb employed. I will review a selection of such claims, pointing out that some of these claims may not in fact be as strongly backed by the available data as implied. I then move on to describe some basic properties of the Italian fare causative, presenting independent linguistic evidence of its use. Some interesting generalizations emerging from this analysis are presented here, with regard to intentional versus non-intentional readings and with how differently marked Causees conveys different meanings. These observations will also be analysed in the light of known typological universals relating to causative structures.

This chapter aims to study the prepositional marking and the postpositional marking of the recipient in the Persian non-canonical ditransitive alignments, which are associated respectively with a particular role that the recipient as topic or exhaustive focus plays in the information-structural representation of the benefactive event. I will argue that overriding of the theme and recipient by each other with respect to topicality, grammatically achieved by utilizing two distinct operations including preposing and left-dislocation, determines the intended grammatical marking of the recipient. Moreover, the pragmatic alternation between the two types of coding portrays a constructional pattern which will be accounted for in terms of a Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) framework.

This book offers a comprehensive investigative study of the argument realisation of the concepts of causative purpose, permit, let/allow and transfer in a broad cross-linguistic typologically diverse mix of languages with GIVE, GET, TAKE, PUT, and LET verbs. This volume stands as the first systematic exploration of these verbs and concepts as they occur in complex events and clauses. This book brings together scholars and researchers from a variety of functionally inspired theoretical backgrounds that have worked on these verbs within one language or from a cross-linguistic perspective. The objective is to understand the linguistic behaviour of the verbs and their inter-relationships within a contemporary cognitive-functional linguistic perspective. The languages represented include Irish, German, Slavic (West Slavic: Polish, Czech, Slovak and Sorbian and Western South Slavic: Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian), Germanic, Romance, Gan Chinese Yichun dialect, Māori, Bohairic Coptic, Shaowu Chinese, Hebrew, English, Lithuanian, Estonian, the Australian dialects Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, Italian, and Persian. Topics discussed include argument structure and the encoding of arguments under causation, permission and transferverbs, their lexical semantics and event structure.
