摘要：The aim of this study is to present a unified analysis of the dative structures. The study relies on data from English and Arabic that support “the single meaning approach”. According to this approach, both prepositional dative construction (PDC) and double object construction (DOC) are related semantically and syntactically. We propose a dative phrase “DATP” as a complement of the dative verb in both PDC and DOC. Our proposed analysis deals with the restrictions that scope and c-command bring on the order of the direct and indirect objects in PDC and DOC. We follow Bruening (2014, 2018) in his argument against c-command and show that “precede-and-command” (precede and phase command) that he proposes as a replacement for c-command fits neatly in our analysis.
