Given their status as unaccusatives, they display an asymmetric mapping between case marking and thematic roles. As a consequence, several researchers have argued that they sanction an inversion of the canonical nominative-before-dative word order pattern. Two positions emerge: those scholars who associate these verbs with a dative-before-nominative order and those who claim that they license both a dative-before- nominative order as well as a nominative-before-dative order. A corpus study of 982 tokens principally shows the latter claim to be true in that, in a configuration with double NPs, the Nom-Dat order is attested 200 times (or 40%), and the Dat-Nom order 299 times (or 60%). Remarkably, when both arguments are realised as pronouns, the variation in word order is neutralised almost entirely in favour of the nominative-before-dative order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.61430\/RQRQ2357\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.61430\/RQRQ2357<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-small-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/papersLSB_linearization-unaccusativity_somers.pdf\" style=\"border-radius:13px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Volledige tekst bekijken<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TijdschriftStudies van de Belgische Kring voor Lingu\u00efstiek, vol. 17 (2023) Auteur(s)Joren Somers (Universiteit Gent) AbstractThe present study maps out the word order distributions in verb-second &hellip; <a title=\"Linearization and unaccusativity: The relative order of dative and nominative arguments with five German verbs of success and failure\" class=\"bnm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/nl\/publicaties\/studies-van-de-bkl\/volume-17-2023\/somers\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Linearization and unaccusativity: The relative order of dative and nominative arguments with five German verbs of success and failure<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":123,"featured_media":0,"parent":45023,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-46213","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","bnm-entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46213"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46213\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49323,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46213\/revisions\/49323"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/45023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
