“…In the literature on object relations, specific relations between the verb and animate internal arguments abound. To mention just a few contexts: special case marking on animate objects in Nez Perce (Rude 1986) or Wagawaga (Wurm 1976); prepositional marking in Spanish, Romanian, and many other languages (see Pensado 1995 and references therein); impossibility of incorporation in polysynthetic languages (Mithum 1984); obligatory overt realization in Baule, Akan and other Kwa languages (Saah 1992, Larson 2002; obligatory agreement in KiRimi (Hualde 1989, Woolford 2000 and Mohawk (Baker 1996). Other asymmetries are found in Hungarian and Swahili, and many other languages as well (see Baker 1996 for discussion).…”

This paper is an extensively revised and expanded version of the first part of a broader paper that was circulated as Ormazabal & Romero (2002) and also included a syntactic analysis of the agreement restrictions discussed here. The syntactic proposal analyzed the properties of a series of ditransitive constructions that were shown to be subject to the restriction: dative Constructions, dative Clitic Constructions and Double Object Constructions, all in a broad variety of languages. Due to editorial requirements, we have extended the descriptive sections of the work, leaving the more theoreticallyoriented parts of our proposal for a forthcoming paper.
