Ditransitive verbs, represented by <i>give</i>, have two arguments in addition to the subject. A ‘yes’ value to this property indicates that the language treats both arguments as direct objects. That is, both the theme and the goal argument are treated the way direct objects of monotransitive verbs are treated. <br><br>English is an example, since the two objects of <i>give</i> can both follow the object with no special case marking or preposition, as in <i>I gave him those dogs</i>. See Haspelmath (2008) for discussion. <br><br><b>Note</b>: Languages like English have two options for double object constructions with <i>give</i>. In such cases, each relevant property will be valued ‘yes’.
