The productivity of Nom-Acc and Nom-Dat (1)<br />
63<br />
• The borrowed verbs assigned Nom-Acc belong to the<br />
semantic classes of already existing Nom-Acc verbs<br />
• The borrowed verbs assigned Nom-Dat belong to the<br />
semantic classes of already existing Nom-Dat verbs<br />
• This suggests that the productivity of these two<br />
constructions is based on the extension of either verbspecific<br />
constructions (a.k.a. analogy) or verb-classspecific<br />
constructions<br />
