Dative
Definition:
(a.) Noting the case of a noun which expresses the remoter object, and is generally indicated in English by to or for with the objective.
(a.) In one's gift; capable of being disposed of at will and pleasure, as an office.
(a.) Removable, as distinguished from perpetual; -- said of an officer.
(a.) Given by a magistrate, as distinguished from being cast upon a party by the law.
(n.) The dative case. See Dative, a., 1.
Example Sentences:
(1) Also, dative "verbs" yielded better performance when they were inserted in more complex, three-argument "sentences" than when they were inserted in two-argument "sentences."
(2) However, this decrease in performance was more pronounced for symbols representing pure transitive verbs--those that allow only one argument structure--than for symbols representing dative verbs--those that allow two different argument structures.
(3) Experiment 1 extended that work by demonstrating that dative verbs pattern with other complex transitive verbs (i.e., a fronted filler that is implausible as the direct object will not be interpreted as the direct object until the absence of a noun phrase after the verb forces the postulation of a direct object gap.
