Dative variation in the Portuguese of São Tomé
| Resumo: | Portuguese of São Tomé (PST) exhibits two strategies to express Recipients: double object constructions (DOC) and ditransitive prepositional constructions (DPC), which employ either the preposition a ‘to’ or the preposition para ‘toward’ (R. Gonçalves 2010). Using data from a spoken corpus, we will analyze to which extent linguistic and extra-linguistic variables can play a role in PST dative variation. Therefore, we will discuss whether it follows Rappaport-Hovav and Levin’s (2008) distinction between give-type verbs (core dative verbs), which occur in both DOC and DPC introduced by a functional preposition, and throw/send-type verbs (non-core dative verbs), which can occur in a DPC introduced either by a functional or directional preposition. We will further address the role of contact with Santome. |
