Semantic overlap 66 Nom-Acc (5) Þá voru Kanarnir að bomba Júgóslava. then were Americans to bomb Yugoslavians.acc ‘Then the Americans were bombing the Yugoslavians.’ Nom-Dat (6) Mér tókst að bomba tannkremi í augað á mér. I.dat managed to bomb tooth-paste.dat in eye on me ‘I managed to bomb toothpaste into my eye.’ Bergen Jóhanna Barðdal June 5, 2008
The productivity of Nom-Acc and Nom-Dat (2) • On the generative approach, this would at best be expected for the Nom-Dat construction, but it is not expected for the Nom-Acc construction, which is supposed to be default. • This means that borrowed verbs with the Nom-Acc construction are also assigned case and argument structure constructions “lexically,” exactly like borrowed verbs with the Nom-Dat construction • If the borrowed Nom-Acc verbs had not been assigned case and argument structure constructions on the basis of their synonymous verb-specific construction in Icelandic, but rather on some “default” basis, one would expect some more of the Nom-Dat verbs to have been assigned Nom-Acc 67 Bergen Jóhanna Barðdal June 5, 2008
