Fwd: 19th International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference (LFG14)

[frank]

Hello, everybody!
 I am studying "light verb". In English, it is right to say
"give someone a kiss/kick"
It is wrong to say "give a kiss/kick to soemone"
How about German and French?
Are there any similar cases in the two languages?
Thank you!
Frank Chang (China)
