摘要：Applicative constructions refer to those in which an underlying indirect object or oblique is realised as a core argument. The applied argument replaces P and in most languages becomes the direct object. In most instances, the verb usually bears a distinctive inflection expressing the semantic relation borne by the direct object. In Javanese applicative constructions could be intransitive-based and transitive-based, and they involve oblique to 2 advancement or 3-2 advancement. The N- prefix on the verb, the deletion of preposition, and the suffix –i/ni or –ake mark the advancement to direct object. The suffix –i/ni is used to mark locative, recipient and destination advancement, whereas the suffix –ake is used to mark benefactive and instrumental advancement. It is also possible that advancement to direct object is not marked with any suffix.
