Abstract

The paper investigates the ditransitive constructions and the ditransitive verbs of the Mansi language. It intends to answer the question whether the semantics of the verb influences the choice of the structure. Mansi has an alternation between two different kinds of ditransitive constructions. The alternation is based on the information structure and independent of the semantics of the verb used in the given structure. Any ditransitive verb can appear in any ditransitive construction.
