Аннотация:In case of ditransitive verbs, such as dat ' 'give', poslat' 'send', predstavit' 'introduce', skazat' 'say', etc., the major concern is the relative placement of direct and indirect objects. 8Recent papers by Pereltsvaig (2001), Richardson (2007), and Dyakonova (2009) revise the existing argumentation and persuasively argue that the Goal argument is base-generated 8.Note that, unlike, for instance, English, Russian does not have a double object construction and the Theme and the Goal are always realized as DP ACC and DP DAT , respectively, with the indirect object being never promoted to the DO position.
