S'hi revisen tots de proves i criteris que donen suport al caràcter d'argument extern del datiu (que, de fet, és assimilable a l'estatus dels locatius i datius amb alguns verbs impersonals, vegeu Fernández Soriano 1999). Com a indicis, tenim: ordre de mots no marcat, elevació i lligam. D'altra banda, hi ha també indicis del caràcter no externalitzat de l'altre argument, l'intern: impossibilitat de lligam d'anàfores, possibilitat de ser un SN nu, incapacitat de controlar, entre d'altres. La conclusió és que en aquestes construccions el datiu és un exemple de cas capri-ciós (quirky case). 11999-01-0119991999-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/2218reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
