Abstract

Abstract This paper contributes to the typology of ditransitive constructions. Akebu (Kwa, Ghana-Togo mountain, West Africa) has four strategies of alignment of ditransitive verbs, if both theme and recipient objects are expressed: a neutral strategy, a possessive-like strategy, a strategy with a pronominal reprise and a ‘take’ serial verb construction strategy. The possessive-like strategy that is most standard in Akebu is rare in a cross-linguistic perspective and has not been attested in other Kwa languages. The factors that license a certain strategy are person, number and noun class of the theme and recipient and the internal structure of the theme noun phrase.

阿克布语的及物结构

摘要本文对及物结构的类型学进行了研究。阿克布语(西非加纳-多哥山区)在表达主宾和受宾对象的情况下，有四种及物动词对齐策略:中性策略、类所有格策略、代词重复策略和“take”串联动词结构策略。在阿克布语中最标准的类似所有格的策略在跨语言的角度上是罕见的，在其他克瓦语中也没有得到证实。主语和接受者的人、数、名类以及主语名词短语的内部结构等因素决定了该策略的实施。

期刊介绍： Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar.
