Overview"The papers in this volume explore aspects of ""GIVE"" and ""GIVE-type"" verbs across languages. They document a range of constructional possibilities with ""GIVE"" verbs, as well as addressing issues relating to the morphology, syntax and semantics of ""GIVE"" constructions. Topics covered include: the object status of the ""THING"" and ""RECIPIENT"" in double object and applicative constructions; the syntactic and semantic features needed to construct a ""GIVE"" clause in Sochiapan Chinantec, including an animacy hierarchy, active versus passive, antipassive, and direct versus inverse voice; the extent of causative use of a two-place predicate ""GIVE"" in Dutch; and a case study of the acquisition of forms relating to possession by a two-year-old English speaker."
