Abstract

This article examines dative complements of unergative verbs in Basque, i.e., dative arguments of morphologically “transitive” verbs, which, unlike ditransitives, do not co-occur with a canonical object complement. We will claim that such arguments fall under two different types, each of which involves a different type of non-structural licensing of the dative case. The presence of two different types of dative case in these constructions is correlated with the two different types of complement case alternations which many of these predicates exhibit, so that alternation patterns will provide us with clues to identify different sources for the dative marking. In particular, we will examine datives alternating with absolutives (i.e., with the regular object structural case in an ergative language) and datives alternating with postpositional phrases. We will first examine an approach to the former which relies on current proposals that identify a low applicative head as case licenser. Such approach, while accounting for the dative case, raises a number of issues with respect to the absolutive variant. As for datives alternating with postpositional phrases, we claim that they are lexically licensed by the lower verbal head V.
巴斯克语的与格补语
本文研究了巴斯克语中非否定动词的与格补语,即,形态上的“及物”动词的与格论点,与与物不同,不与规范对象补语共同发生。我们将声称这些论证属于两种不同的类型,每一种类型都涉及与格情况的不同类型的非结构性许可。在这些结构中,两种不同类型的与格的存在与许多谓语所表现出的两种不同类型的补语格交替相关,因此交替模式将为我们识别与格标记的不同来源提供线索。特别地,我们将研究与绝对词交替的与格(即,在否定语言中与规则的宾语结构格交替)以及与后置短语交替的与格。我们将首先研究前者的方法,该方法依赖于当前确定低适用头作为案例许可人的建议。这种方法虽然考虑到与格的情况,但在绝对变体方面提出了一些问题。至于与后置短语交替的与格,我们认为它们在词汇上受到下词头V的许可。
