摘要: Comparative syntactic work on argument structure over of the last two decades has shown that languages with double object constructions (DOCs) pattern in one main ways respect to Fula, Swahili, German, Chichewa and Danish, property out a construction, only goal arguments may passivize (Baker 1988, Bresnan & Moshi 1990, Woolford 1993). We illustrate this Danish examples (1). A second class, traditionally calle languages, including Norwegian, Swedish, some British English dialects Kinyarwanda, differs allowing passivization as well theme passivization, exemplified Norwegian sentences (2) McGinnis 1998, 2001,
