Valia Kordoni: Between Shifts and Alternations: Ditransitive Constructions
In this paper I present two classes of double object constructions in Modern
Greek, i.e., the genitive, as well as the double accusative, ditransitive
constructions. I show that these two classes differ from one another in that
not both of them permit derivational processes such as the formation of
adjectival passives. I also look at the case properties associated with the
verbs which head Modern Greek genitive and double accusative ditransitive
constructions. Finally, the analysis I propose for these constructions in
Modern Greek are formalized using the Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS)
framework of Copestake et al. (2001) and Copestake et al. (2003).
