attribute_ATT · tilskrive

Hierarchy

Same inventory as English attribute_ATT, Spanish atribuir, French attribuer, Italian attribuire, Mandarin 归因于, Japanese 帰する, Hungarian tulajdonít, German zuschreiben, and Dutch toeschrijven. Not five-place. Not four sisters of one V. Surface count can name the board, the early completion, the contractor, and an outer cause — but the lexicon does not list four co-arguments of √ASCRIBE.

No MeasureP on ATT. There is no verbal Amount+Denomination object unless Charge itself has been recoded as a quantified share (hybrid — flag, do not deepen as verbal MeasureP). Degrees that sneak in live on the Abney spine of Charge or of a light noun — Left Branch Condition for sell / pay / charge_FEE / credit_FIN does not apply as a verbal diagnostic here.

What Group D changes is Case morphology and the named MERIT/FIN packaging split. What it does not change is the inventory. Weather still satisfies Target and fails Judge. Cause-true is still not entailed. Charge and Target still do not invert at Transfer cost. Treating attribute_ATT as Agent > Theme > Goal, collapsing it with MERIT because both can sit next to Norwegian tilskrive, or collapsing it with XFER/FIN because Norwegian can talk godskrive for ledger, predicts a DOC, a HAVE entailment, a MeasureP LBC host, a productive with-frame, or a grammatical weather-as-Judge — none of those exist on ATT.

Norwegian frames · Case clothes

Germanic packages ascribe-content without a productive DOC and, in Norwegian, without a productive dative. Productive cloth: Charge ACC, Target til-PP (tilskrive noe til noen). The finite verb is V2 and til- stays on the stem — there is no stranded particle of the German zu- / Dutch toe- type. Cheap NegQ association and cheap WH track ACC = Charge. credit_MERIT advertises light-noun æren / fortjeneste (praise-adjacent); bare attribute_ATT keeps the same til+ACC cloth as content-ascribe and does not treat æren as the default ATT packaging. XFER / FIN use godskrive for MeasureP / Account — different root; pointer only below.

15. * Rådet tilskrev entreprenøren den tidlige ferdigstillelsen. DAT mostly gone · no productive dative Target
16. * I går skrev rådet forsinkelsen været til. no stranded particle (unlike DE zu- / NL toe-)
17. * Entreprenøren fikk den tidlige ferdigstillelsen tilskrevet. få out · does not promote Target
18. * Har de tilskrevet entreprenøren den tidlige ferdigstillelsen suksessen? no productive DOC (bare double ACC Theme)
19. * Har de tilskrevet entreprenøren med den tidlige ferdigstillelsen? no with/med-frame
20. * Har de tilskrevet forsinkelsen på entreprenøren? no blame på-cloth as productive ATT
21. * Har de tilskrevet entreprenøren for den tidlige ferdigstillelsen? no blame for-cloth as productive ATT

A bare Nei on the canonical NegQ most readily challenges the ascription event or the ACC Charge. Challenging the til-Target wants that content already under discussion. Negation does not grow a double-object, does not restore a dative, does not strand a verb particle, and does not create a med-frame, a på/for blame cloth, or a MeasureP on ATT. HOLD is not cause-true — parallel to MERIT’s missing cause default and FIN’s missing payout default.

WH / NegQ diagnostics · no MeasureP LBC

Unlike sell / pay_GIVE / charge_FEE / bet / credit_FIN, attribute_ATT has no verbal MeasureP. There is therefore no Left-Branch Condition of the Amount-from-Denomination type on √ASCRIBE. Degrees that appear are DP-internal on Charge or on a light noun (tilskrivning / attribusjon scout — not æren as the default ATT cloth).

1. ✓ Hvem har tilskrevet den tidlige ferdigstillelsen til entreprenøren? WH = Judge
2. ✓ Hva har de tilskrevet til entreprenøren? WH = Charge · ACC
3. ✓ Til hvem har de tilskrevet den tidlige ferdigstillelsen? WH = Target · til
4. ✓ Hva ble tilskrevet til entreprenøren? bli · passive Charge
5. ✓ Hvor mye av forsinkelsen har de tilskrevet til det dårlige været? degree on Charge · Abney-side, not verbal MeasureP
6. * Hvor mye har de ikke tilskrevet av ferdigstillelse til entreprenøren? no verbal MeasureP LBC host on ATT
7. ✓ De tilskrev forsinkelsen til det dårlige været. weather = Target · fine
8. * Har det dårlige været ikke tilskrevet forsinkelsen til entreprenøren? weather still not Judge
9. * Hvem fikk den tidlige ferdigstillelsen tilskrevet? få does not promote Target

Superiority ranks Judge > ACC Charge > til-PP Target > outer. There is no ranking of Charge against a silent Purpose, Price, or Theme₂. Cheap NegQ association tracks the Case object (= Charge under the til-Target cloth). Pied-piping til hvem is the Target question. A stranded verb particle (skrev … til) is not that question and is out.

Geometry · attribute_ATT ≠ credit_MERIT ≠ legge skylden på ≠ attribute_XFER ≠ sell

In Rådet tilskrev den tidlige ferdigstillelsen til entreprenøren, the board holds that the early completion is ascribable to the contractor. That is ascription, not HAVE of goods and not ledger INCREMENT. The early completion is Charge. The contractor is Target. HOLD is an attitude; cause-true is not a presupposed fact. Polarity is content-ascribe, not MERIT’s positive HOLD by default.

• ≠ credit_MERIT (tilskrive / æren / fortjeneste). Shared √ASCRIBE family, shared Voice filter, shared surface letters, and shared til-Target + ACC Charge cloth on bare tilskrive; MERIT writes positive / meritorious polarity and advertises light-noun æren / fortjeneste. Bare tilskrive is the Group D attribute_ATT cloth — keep the split: do not import MERIT æren acceptability onto ATT as the default packaging. Live at credit-merit-no.html.
• ≠ blame / √ASCRIBE_FAULT (legge skylden på). Blame ascribes fault; attribute ascribes content (polarity open). Blame’s clothes stay on legge skylden på (la skylden for forsinkelsen på entreprenøren); attribute’s ACC is Charge (tilskrive forsinkelsen til entreprenøren). ATT’s light-noun scout is tilskrivning / attribusjon, not FAULT and not æren. Index 2 prints only the blame string.
• ≠ attribute_XFER / credit_FIN. Group D prefers godskrive for ledger MeasureP / Account (Styret har godskrevet 0,3 ETH på kontoen) — named packaging split. ATT has no MeasureP and no Account. Collapsing them because both can sit next to Norwegian på/til phrases is the error the lexical entry was written to block. XFER stays at attribute-xfer.html — pointer only this tick for ledger strings. Do not deepen FIN.
• ≠ separable-particle ascribe. German strands zu- (zuschreiben) and Dutch strands toe- (toeschrijven). Norwegian tilskrive is V2 with til- bound to the stem. The til that marks Target is a preposition, not that particle.
• ≠ English DOC / Transfer invert. There is no productive bare DOC with two ACC Themes as the preferred ATT cloth, and no restored dative. Norwegian is Charge ACC + Target til-PP. Negation does not rescue a second ACC. Transfer Themes invert under Germanic swap NegQ; ATT Charge and Target do not.
• ≠ sell / Appl_HAVE / allocate_GOAL. No Appl_HAVE, no Price MeasureP, no optional HAVE Goal. Surface til on ATT is Target Case, not Goal address with MeasureP Theme. på and for are not productive ATT clothes.
• Missing defaults. Cause-true and settlement are not entailed. Har de ikke tilskrevet den tidlige ferdigstillelsen til entreprenøren? is compatible with the contractor not in fact causing the early completion.

English twin spells to-frame Charge ACC / Target to. Spanish twin: Charge ACC / Target a. French twin: Charge ACC / Target à. Italian twin: Charge ACC / Target a. Mandarin twin: 把 Charge / 于 Target. Japanese twin: Charge o + Target ni. Hungarian twin: DAT Target + ACC Charge. German twin: DAT Target + ACC Charge (jmdm. etw. zuschreiben); separable zu-. Dutch twin: IO/DAT-like Target + ACC Charge and aan-Target; separable toe-. Norwegian twin: til-Target + ACC Charge; no stranded particle; bli promotes Charge and få is out; light-noun tilskrivning / attribusjon scout. Weather OK as Target, not as Judge. Document-metonymy Judge OK.

Norwegian ATT never assigns four structural Cases, and it does not assign a productive dative. Charge is ACC; Target wears til-PP (or lives inside a light-noun cloth). No low Appl_HAVE. No low Appl_SWAP. No Appl_TASK. No MeasureP (unless quantified-Charge hybrid — flag). High Appl / Affectee is extra when present and is not a listed argument of √ASCRIBE. æren is not the default light noun on this tree. få does not supply an extra layer.

Composition is V(DP) on the ACC Charge. til-Target is a PP on the Abney spine of Target (same cut as German DAT / Dutch aan / English to): V(DP) for Charge, not a Path. Early completion does not travel a path; the contractor is not a Goal with HAVE rights. V2 puts the finite verb in second position. til- remains a prefix of that verb. The preposition til introducing Target is a different morpheme from a stranded separable particle.

Pronoun height: ham/henne/dem resume Target inside til-PP; den/det can resume Charge. Inanimate Target is fine. Inanimate subject as Judge is not generated — that is the Voice filter, not a Case accident.

bli promotes Charge to subject. The Target stays in the til-PP. få does not promote Target, because the old dative is gone. There is no laten / lassen wrap that washes the Voice filter. Weather remains unable to be Judge.

Omission does not demote Charge to a pure adjunct. Selected Case layers are optional in the numeration; they are still arguments when present. The diagnostic is participanthood under Case, binding, and WH — not omitability. Charge clauses are islands in a way rationale adjuncts are not; there is no Neg-raising out of Charge.

Group D packaging · Norwegian continues Germanic ATT

Group D (German, Dutch, Norwegian) is the Germanic Case-cloth / named-root contrast set already predicted for NegQ on blame / sell / bet / charge_FEE / credit. Same hierarchy as English attribute_ATT; Norwegian hosts Charge as ACC and Target as til-PP. The verb is V2 and does not strand a particle. bli promotes Charge; få is out. Pronouns resume Target inside til-PP. This tick is Norwegian ATT only and continues the Group D Germanic ATT set opened by attribute_ATT · DE and continued by attribute_ATT · NL. Live credit_MERIT · NO already hosts the meritorious reading of shared tilskrive (light-noun æren / fortjeneste) — keep the ATT/MERIT split; this page does not import that cloth as the default. With DE, NL, and NO live, the predicted Group D ATT trio is in. English, Spanish, French, Italian, Mandarin, Japanese, and Hungarian ATT twins are live. FIN NO godskrive remains pointer-only. Group C follow-on: BG приписвам is live at attribute-att-bg.html. PL przypisywać stays predicted — not elicited here.

Open items

• Light-noun tilskrivning / attribusjon. Productivity vs bare tilskrive is scout-leaning — flagged, not ranked. Not æren / fortjeneste (those stay MERIT).
• Quantified-Charge hybrid. har tilskrevet 30 % av besparelsene til entreprenøren — Charge recoded as quantified share. Diagnostics: replaceable by ascribe, not by godskrive; weather can wear the Target slot; the board can be wrong. Flagged, not deepened as verbal MeasureP on plain ATT.
• XFER / FIN Norwegian. XFER remains at attribute-xfer.html; FIN NO ledger godskrive remains a later tick. Keep the split; do not merge pages. Pointer only.
• credit_MERIT æren / fortjeneste contrast. Already live at credit-merit-no.html; do not import æren praise packaging onto ATT as the default cloth.
• Bare tilskrive vs MERIT light-noun overlap. Index 2 prints only legge skylden på. MERIT uses tilskrive / æren / fortjeneste; ATT is bare content-ascribe. Keep split; do not collapse on this page — same discipline as DE/NL shared letters.
• Navajo ATT. HANDLE packaging deferred; sell·Navajo also deferred.
