The Function and Category of gei in Mandarin Ditransitive Construction
汉语双及物句式中「给」的词类与功能

Abstract 摘要
In this article, we show that the parallelism between Mandarin gei ditransitive constructions and their English counterparts is misleading. We argue here that the gei that occurs next to a verb is part of a complex predicate, and that the gei phrase that occurs after the DO (direct object) is part of a SVC (Serial Verb Construction). The theoretical implications of this account of gei and some diachronical ramifications are also given.

本文证明汉语带「给」的双及物句式与英语的双宾句式仅是表面雷同。我们主张动词后的「给」是复合动词的一部份,而在直接宾语后由「给」带领的词组则是序列动词结构 (SVC, Serial Verb Construction) 的一部份。除了论据外,我们也提出了这个分析在理论上的重要性和历史语法中可能的佐证。
