An applicative voice construction is the coded alternant in an °applicative voice alternation.
applicative construction (CXN) = a construction describing an event in which a participant other than the P participant is coded as object – that is, a non-P participant is salient enough to be expressed as a core argument phrase, specifically object. Example: Fred baked me a shepherd’s pie, in which Fred baking the pie is the base event, encodes a non-participant, namely the recipient of the shepherd’s pie, as object. (Sections 9.1, 9.3)
