<p>M.Straßburger: + different term for phenomenon + research</p> <hr /> <div>The term '''dative alternation''' is used to refer to the alternation between a prepositional [[indirect-object construction]] (''The girl gave milk to the cat'') and a [[double-object construction]] (''The girl gave the cat milk''), especially in English.<br /> <br /> The indirect object structure is also referred to as NP PP structure as it consists of a nounphrase (NP) and a prepositional phrase (PP).<br /> The double-object structure is referred to as NP NP structure as it consists of two nounphrases.<br /> <br /> PP NP structures though regarded as ungrammatically can seldom be found. <br /> <br /> ===Research===<br /> The most profound question is what triggers Dative Alternation. <br /> Different approaches to answer this questions are:<br /> <br /> Meaning<br /> <br /> [[Weight]]<br /> <br /> [[Animacy]]<br /> <br /> [[Old- and New-Information]] <br /> <br /> ===Comments===<br /> This term replaces the earlier terms [[dative movement]] or [[dative shift]], which assume a transformational account.<br /> <br /> ===References===<br /> *Abreu Gomes, Christina. 2003.
