(By Alena Witzlack-Makarevich): "As a ditransitive construction we consider constructions with verbs expressing a physical transfer of possession or a mental transfer of messages (give, lend, hand, feed, send, bring, show, tell, teach). A ditransitive construction must allow overt expression of an agent, a theme and a recipient/addressee as separate NPs. The morphological marking of these arguments (e.g. accusative case, dative case vs. adposition marking) is irrelevant for counting a construction as ditransitive. ❡
‘Marking’ for the purposes of this feature includes both flagging (i.e. case and adposition marking) and indexing on the verb. 1 is primarily triggered by flagging. Only if there is no overt flagging for neither the P argument nor the recipient argument, indexing is considered. 1 covers both the ‘double-object construction’ and the ‘secondary-object construction’ of Haspelmath (2013)."
