A Reconsideration of Dative Movements or, Beating a Dead Horse Back to Life,
Abstract
Two well-known transformational relationships are the shifts of indirect objects with to and for. To explain differences between the two processes, standard analyses of the dative, for example Fillmore (1965), generally postulate two similar dative movement rules, one of which applies to to-indirect objects, and the other which applies to for-indirect objects. The paper shows that this analysis can be improved somewhat within the framework of traditional transformational rules. (Author)
