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

[Martin Forst]

Hello Frank,

 

There is no dative alternation in German or French, so there is no analogous
contrast between "to give someone a kiss" and "*to give a kiss to someone"
in those languages. The structure of the German translation resembles the
former (with the difference that the NPs are case-marked); the structure of
the French translation resembles the latter (but is perfectly grammatical).

 

Best regards,

 

Martin

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)
