Studies in Ditransitive Constructions A Comparative Handbook

"This book is an impressive crosslinguistic resource on ditransitives, and it will be the major reference work on ditransitives for years to come."

"The reviewed volume undoubtedly makes a major contribution not only to the research of ditransitive and three-participant constructions, but more broadly to the typology in general, revealing high standards of typological research in terms of minute description of individual languages and cross-linguistic generalizations. It also attests to a keen interest of current typological research in lexical semantics and its interaction with grammar. Thus, the volume "Studies in ditransitive constructions: A comparative Handbook", along with other publications, is yet another confirmation of the leading position of the Linguistic Department based at the Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig in the vibrant field of typological research."
