91 Applicative constructions
This feature is described more fully in
chapter 91.
Summary
In an applicative construction, there is an additional (direct) object argument compared to the basic non-applicative construction, and there is an overt marker on the verb. Some languages only allow applicative constructions with transitive bases. The applicative object can have a variety of functions, especially benefactive, instrumental and locative function. This feature is based on WALS feature 109, by Maria Polinsky.
