allocate_GOAL · allouer / affecter à

Hierarchy

Same inventory as English allocate_GOAL. Not three co-arguments of one V predicting a stable DOC and a transfer. Surface count can name the president, 14M BTC, and the ministry — but the listed third is a Goal individual y via French à (DAT-cliticizable), not a Purpose property via pour (earmark). HAVE(y,m) is optional / speaker-variable, not required. Writing those three as sisters of a grant-like Appl_HAVE predicts a productive DOC and a drawing-rights challenge to e2. French keeps the middle — and the DAT clitic makes Goal look grant-adjacent without forcing HAVE.

14M BTC = one MeasureP. Orthography is not extra arity. Amount and Denomination share one Case object. Composition is V(Theme), not V(n)(U). Hom(m, e): the designation is measured by the quantity. Partitive en tracks quantity on the Theme — not a second object and not Goal (y tracks venue / dossier, not Goal).

Working hierarchy: Agent > Theme > Goal (> optional Purpose, Time, Source — high / peripheral). Theme outranks Goal for measuring; Goal can promote in passive (unlike earmark’s Beneficiary). What Group B French changes is Case cloth (DAT clitic cheapness). What it does not change is the inventory.

∃e [ DESIGNATE(e)
  ∧ THEME(e, m)
  ∧ GOAL(e, y)
  ∧ Hom(m, e) ]
  · HAVE(y, m) optional / speaker-variable — not listed as required

French frames · Case clothes

Theme object under ACC; Goal as à-PP that can cliticize as DAT lui and can promote. DOC is degraded / speaker-variable (?*on a alloué au ministère 14M) — between earmark (no) and grant (yes). Four-place surface: à-Goal + pour-Purpose. Primary lemma: allouer / allouer des fonds à. Hinge companion affecter à stays Goal-leaning allocate — not full HAVE unless coerced toward accorder / octroyer. Scout companion attribuer à (budget address) — keep MERIT attribuer / mérite split. Contrast réserver / flécher pour (Purpose / earmark cloth) — flagged, not merged. destiner à leans Goal in French too but often Purpose-adjacent — treat carefully.

MeasureP WH · denomination diagnostics

WH forces Amount ≠ Denomination inside one Case object. Verbal WH sees the Theme MeasureP under ACC, not unit and degree as two objects of allocate. Same MeasureP pattern as pay_GIVE’s Amount, sell’s Price, charge_FEE’s fee, deduct’s decrement, bet’s Stake, and earmark’s Resource — here the MeasureP is the addressed Theme (ACC), and Goal stays a selected à-PP / DAT (or promoted).

Superiority ranks Agent > Theme > Goal > (optional Purpose / Time / Source). Amount and Denomination never compete as two verbal WH-items. Cheap NegQ association tracks the Case object: ACC MeasureP under allouer, plus DAT Goal clitic as a Romance cheap associate (the Group B reason allocate looks more grant-like than earmark). en tracks quantity; y tracks venue / dossier, not Goal.

Geometry · allocate_GOAL ≠ earmark ≠ grant_GIVE ≠ vendre ≠ créditer_FIN

In Le président a alloué 14M BTC au ministère, the BTC is addressed to an office. The ministry need not HAVE drawing rights. Spending is not e2. That is Allocation with Goal flavour — between Purpose-restriction (earmark / réserver / flécher pour) and conferral (grant / accorder / octroyer).

• ≠ earmark / réserver / flécher pour. Shared designation, MeasureP, authority, Type B Purpose, missing spend-true. Split: listed third is Goal individual y via à (allocate) vs Purpose property P via pour (earmark). Goal DAT / promote (✓ Ne lui a-t-on pas alloué 14M ?); earmark Beneficiary does not (*Ne lui a-t-on pas fléché 14M ? as Goal). HAVE idle on earmark, sliding on allocate.
• ≠ grant_GIVE / accorder / octroyer. Shared promotable human third and à-frame / DAT clitic available. Split: grant requires Appl_HAVE / HAVE-RIGHT; allocate’s HAVE is optional. Grant has productive DOC / Recipient-as-HAVE; allocate’s DOC is degraded / speaker-variable. Follow-up Non — le ministère n’a jamais reçu de droits de disposition challenges grant e2; on allocate it is speaker-variable (budget-speak vs disbursement-speak). affecter à is the hinge — Goal-leaning, still not full HAVE unless coerced toward accorder / octroyer.
• ≠ book / reserve / schedule / réserver / planifier. Same Allocation family (Index 2 lists those). Split: reserve a cabin pour l’équipe is Beneficiary; schedule pour vendredi is Time; allocate 14M BTC au ministère is Goal. Earmark is Purpose flavour of the same family.
• ≠ vendre / sell. Sell: Recipient HAS goods; Price stays inside pour. Allocate: Theme is ACC MeasureP of the designation; au ministère is Goal, not Price. No SWAP inversion. Spending not entailed.
• ≠ bet / parier. Shared MeasureP packaging. Split: bet’s third is settlement Content (Proposition); allocate’s is a Goal individual. *on a alloué 14M à ce que Trump gagne — Goal is not Settle(p).
• ≠ charge_FEE / pay_GIVE / deduct / credit_FIN. Shared MeasureP Hom available. Split: chargeFEE / pay write levy or Appl_HAVE transfer; deduct writes FROM decrement; credit_FIN writes ledger HAS_ON_BOOKS (à/sur Account). Allocate tags/addresses a line without requiring those results. Particle overlap (à on credit_FIN Account vs allocate Goal) is packaging coincidence, not geometry identity — FIN entails HAS_ON_BOOKS; allocate does not.
• HAVE as sliding feature. Follow-up Non — le ministère n’a jamais reçu de droits de disposition: idle challenge to earmark e2; default challenge to grant e2; speaker-variable on allocate. That middle is why institutional French keeps allouer / affecter next to accorder / octroyer.
• Restriction / address-true is e2. A follow-up that denies spending or HAVE does not (by default) deny the allocate event. Reallocate (réallouer / réaffecter) redirects Goal; later event.

Shells, ApplP, and Case

VoiceP  [ le président

  GoalP / Appl_GOAL  [ à  [ le ministère ] ]   · DAT clitic lui

Packaging (same geometry):
  allouer · allouer des fonds à · affecter à (hinge)
  — Goal stays à / DAT; Purpose stays pour

Voice introduces Agent with AUTHORITY(x,e) as a selectional / felicity conjunct — not a fifth argument. Presidents, treasuries, CFOs, protocols, and statutes pass; bare persons need a hat; weather fails. Theme sits as Incremental Theme of the designation under ACC. Goal attaches as Appl_GOAL / wrapper-K spelled à / DAT — listed enough to cliticize and promote, not listed enough to force HAVE the way grant’s Recipient does. Purpose, when present, is Type B pour outside the first phase. Putting required HAVE in is how the grant cloth (accorder / octroyer) is written — a different root packaging.

French assigns ACC to the Theme. Goal is à-PP / DAT (or promoted). Purpose, Time, Source are further PPs. Passive / impersonal promotes Theme QP as a whole, or Goal via DAT / se voir (✓), never Amount alone, never U alone, never Purpose into subject.

NegQ pointer · association sites

Negative questions on allocate_GOAL read the Allocation-plus-Goal geometry; they do not invent a fourth theta name. Neg sits high and associates downward. Cheap inner associate = Theme QP in the à-frame, plus DAT Goal clitic (Group B cheap associate). Purpose stays pour when present. Spend-true missing as default; HAVE challenge speaker-variable.

Group B packaging · this tick French GOAL only

Group B (Spanish, French, Italian) keeps the Goal vs Purpose Case split under Neg, with DAT / à / a as the allocate Goal that can cliticize. This tick is French allocate_GOAL only — a alloué 14M BTC au ministère (ACC Theme, à-Goal / DAT lui); Purpose pour extra; hinge affecter à Goal-leaning without forcing HAVE. English twin live at allocate-goal.html; Japanese twin at allocate-goal-ja.html; Spanish twin at allocate-goal-es.html. Italian twin live at allocate-goal-it.html (destinare / stanziare a). Group B Romance GOAL closed. Label speculation on ZH/NV; do not fake elicitation.

Open items

• allouer vs affecter productivity. allouer stays primary allocate; affecter à is hinge (Goal-leaning budget/accounting, not full HAVE unless coerced toward accorder / octroyer). Relative naturalness needs controlled elicitation — flagged scout-leaning, not closed. Keep psych / POST affecter off this page. spec

• HAVE sliding — budget-speak vs disbursement-speak packaging tests on allouer / affecter vs accorder / octroyer; do not force grant’s drawing-rights default.
• Outer CAUSE (faire en sorte que le Trésor alloue …). Site on the making vs on the designation; Goal may promote under wrap; HAVE still not required.
