In Japanese, giving and receiving verbs are not only used to describe an object being transferred, but also metaphorically, for example to describe giving\/receiving a favor or involvement in an event. Giving and receiving verbs in all of these situations are known as benefactive constructions. Role and Reference Grammar analysis allows us to analyze which structures of benefactive constructions correspond to different meanings. This book will explore the historic evolution of Japanese benefactive constructions and how children acquire these constructions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kiyono Fujinaga-Gordon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004691448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004691445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kiyono Fujinaga-Gordon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526388895999,"sku":"9789004691445","price":124.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_585e00e3-b629-4fcd-86da-923cef7f0839.jpg?v=1737556041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-development-and-acquisition-of-kiyono-fujinaga-gordon-9789004691445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
