Double Object Constructions

[Doug Cooper]

Dear Kem:
  The only likely on-line resource I know of is the collection of
Stan Starosta's students' theses (which Chris Court refers to), at:

   http://www2.hawaii.edu/~stanley/theses.html

particularly Saranya Savetamalya _Thai Nouns and Noun Phrases_
(1989), and Kitima Indrambarya _Subcategorization of Verbs in Thai_
(1994).

   Grammars are few and far between.  Most often cited are Vichan
Panupong's _Intersentence Relations in Modern Conversational
Thai_ (Siam Society 1970), and Richard Noss's _Thai Reference
Grammar_ (Foreign Service Institute, 1964).

  Other good sources are the Pan Asiatic Linguistics collections.
Perhaps some other list member can recall a relevant citation.

  What are you trying to get at in particular?  If it's any help, I have
a quite large Thai text corpus (100's of megabytes) that can be
searched for contexts containing (A near B) constructions, where
'near' is any number of letters.  It's not on-line yet, but I'd be happy
to do some searches for you.

  Best,
  Doug Cooper
