AB - This paper examines the distribution of the semantic classes of dative verbs in syntactic constructions, focusing on data from English and Cantonese. While both languages have two dative constructions, the prepositional dative construction (PDC) and the double object construction (DOC), they differ as to the extent they extend these constructions to major dative verb classes. This paper proposes a unifying analysis of the syntactic distribution of the semantic classes of dative verbs in English and Cantonese. On the basis of a closer examination of semantic properties of dative verbs and constructions in the two languages, we argue that verb distribution in these languages can be accounted for in a unified way by general constraints on semantic compatibilities between verbs and constructions and the choice of cut-off points on an implicational hierarchy of ditransitive verbs.
