Abstract:

If you were to travel to Japan, you would likely hear 'giving' and
'receiving' verbs in conversations quite frequently.  In Japanese,
giving and receiving verbs are not only used to describe an object
being transferred, but also metaphorically, for example to describe
giving/receiving a favor or involvement in an event. Giving and
receiving verbs in all of these situations are known as benefactive
constructions. Role and Reference Grammar analysis allows us to
analyze which structures of benefactive constructions correspond to
different meanings.  This book will explore the historic evolution of
Japanese benefactive constructions and how children acquire these
constructions.
