Applicatives and Benefactives: A Cognitive Account
View through CrossRef
Abstract
My early readings in linguistics included one of Chuck Fillmore’s earliest writings, Indirect Object Constructions in English and the Ordering of Transformations (originally written in 1963), which took as its primary goal ‘to construct and incorporate within the grammar of English the means for correctly generating sentences containing indirect objects’-the sentence types exemplified by He gave me an umbrella and He bought me an umbrella. In his 1977 paper ‘The Case for Case Reopened,’ Chuck dealt with, among others, sentence alternations exemplified by Bees were swarming in the garden/ The garden was swarming with bees and I loaded hay onto the truck/ I loaded the truck with hay. What is common to these phenomena is the pattern of grammatical coding of apparently peripheral event participants or physical settings as central clausal arguments.
