Abstract:

This volume brings together twelve empirical studies on ditransitive
constructions in Germanic languages and their varieties, past and
present. Specifically, the volume includes contributions on a wide
variety of Germanic languages, including English, Dutch, and German,
but also Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian, as well as lesser-studied
ones such as Faroese. While the first part of the volume focuses on
diachronic aspects, the second part showcases a variety of synchronic
aspects relating to ditransitive patterns. Methodologically, the
volume covers both experimental and corpus-based studies. Questions
addressed by the papers in the volume are, among others, issues like
the cross-linguistic pervasiveness and cognitive reality of factors
involved in the choice between different ditransitive constructions,
or differences and similarities in the diachronic development of
ditransitives. The volume’s broad scope and comparative perspective
offers comprehensive insights into well-known phenomena and furthers
our understanding of variation across languages of the same family.
