credit_MERIT · 归功于 (guīgōng yú)

Hierarchy

Same inventory as English credit_MERIT. Not five-place. Not four sisters of one V. Surface count can name the investors, the early completion, and the contractor — but the lexicon does not list four co-arguments of √ASCRIBE.

No MeasureP on MERIT. There is no verbal Amount+Denomination object unless Charge itself has been recoded as a share of credit (English lexical entry §5.4 hybrid — flag, do not deepen). Degrees that sneak in live on the Abney spine of Charge or of light noun 功劳 — Left Branch Condition for sell / pay / charge_FEE / credit_FIN does not apply as a verbal diagnostic here.

What Group A Mandarin changes is Case cloth (把 Charge, 于 Target). What it does not change is the inventory. Weather still satisfies Target and fails Judge. Cause-true is still not entailed. Target and Charge still do not invert at Transfer cost. There is no productive DOC of Charge+Target as two bare Themes. There is no English-style with-frame that puts Target in ACC.

Mandarin frames · Case clothes

Mandarin already splits the roots in the lexicon: MERIT 归功于 / light-noun 功劳 versus FIN 入账 / 打入 / 贷记. NegQ under 没 / 没有 tracks the Case object — Group A §12: same 把, different object (Charge of MERIT vs MeasureP of FIN). Primary lemma for the page: 归功于 / guīgōng yú. Companion 功劳 / 把功劳归于 is packaging of one MERIT geometry — not a second root invented here. Scout-leaning: relative frequency of light-noun vs bare 归功于 is not ranked in the extract.

A bare negative answer on the canonical NegQ most readily challenges the ascription event or the ACC Charge under 把. Challenging the Target wants that individual already under discussion. Negation does not grow a double-object and does not create a MeasureP on MERIT.

WH / NegQ diagnostics · no MeasureP LBC

Unlike sell / pay_GIVE / charge_FEE / bet / credit_FIN, credit_MERIT 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 (hybrid “30% of savings” = quantified Charge) or on light noun 功劳.

Superiority ranks Judge > Charge > Target. It does not rank Charge against a silent Purpose, Price, or Theme₂. Cheap NegQ association tracks the Case object of the cloth: Charge under 把…归功于. Target sits inside wrapper-K (于) and is marked for cheap association — same as English to-Target under NegQ.

Geometry · 归功于 ≠ 入账 ≠ 怪 ≠ 归因于 ≠ Transfer

In 投资人把提前完工归功于承包商, the investors hold that the contractor is the meritorious source of the early completion. That is ascription, not HAVE of goods and not ledger INCREMENT. Early completion is Charge. Contractor is Target. HOLD is an attitude; MERITORIOUS(Target, Charge) is content, not a presupposed fact.

• ≠ credit_FIN / 入账 / 打入. Same surface family of “credit” talk; different root. FIN writes MeasureP TO a Domain / Account (理事会把 0.3 ETH 打入每个钱包). MERIT has no MeasureP and no Account. Collapsing them because both can sit next to English credit is the error the lexical entry was written to block. FIN ZH live at credit-fin-zh.html.
• ≠ English DOC / Transfer invert. There is no productive *投资人归功承包商提前完工 as two bare Themes. Negation does not rescue it. Transfer Themes invert under Romance NegQ; MERIT Charge and Target do not at Transfer cost. Group A: *把承包商归功于提前完工 is out or a different parse.
• ≠ attribute_ATT polarity merge. Shared family (ascribe content; Charge ACC / 于 Target) and shared Voice filter; credit_MERIT writes positive / meritorious polarity via 归功于. Bare 归因于 is the general ATT cloth — keep the split; live at attribute-att-zh.html.
• ≠ blame / √ASCRIBE_FAULT (怪 / 责备). Opposite polarity. Blame ascribes fault with ACC = Target; credit ascribes merit with ACC = Charge. Shared Voice filter; Case-object split. Live at blame-zh.html.
• ≠ sell / Appl_HAVE / charge_FEE. No Appl_HAVE, no Price MeasureP, no Appl_FROM Payer. Surface money QPs belong to FIN / FEE, not MERIT Charge.
• Missing defaults. Cause-true and settlement are not entailed. 他们没把提前完工归功于承包商吗？ is compatible with the contractor not in fact causing the early completion.

English twin spells to-frame Charge ACC / Target to and with-frame Target ACC / Charge with. Japanese twin spells Charge o + Target ni. Mandarin twin: 把-Charge / 于-Target under 归功于; no with-flip. Weather OK as Target, *not* as Judge.

把 under 没 (Group A §12):
  没 + 把 + Charge + 归功于 + Target
  — Charge under MERIT; MeasureP under FIN (different root)
  — 把 ≠ outer CAUSE_G over a Judge event

被 Voice (passive-ish):
  Charge fronts under 被 — Voice, not Spec,T
  Target never sat in ACC → Target does not promote
  Topic ≠ Spec,T

Mandarin credit_MERIT never assigns four structural Cases. Charge is the post-V / 把 object; Target is inside wrapper-K 于 (composition V(DP), not V(to(DP))). No low Appl_HAVE. No low Appl_SWAP. No Appl_TASK. No MeasureP. No with-flip. High Appl / Affectee is extra when present and is not a listed argument of √ASCRIBE.

Outer CAUSE_G (让) wraps Voice — Type A. The causee, not the weather, is the Judge. 把 under NegQ is not that outer Cause. Topic is not Spec,T. Passive-ish 被 fronts Charge.

Omission does not demote Target to a pure adjunct. Selected K-layers are optional in the numeration; they are still arguments when present. The diagnostic is participanthood under Case, binding, and WH — not omitability.

Group A packaging · this tick Mandarin closes MERIT Group A ZH

Group A (English clothes, Japanese 功績を認める, Mandarin 把, Navajo scout) is the packaging contrast set already used for NegQ on credit (§12). Same hierarchy as English credit_MERIT; different host of Charge Case and Target wrapper spelling. Mandarin: 把 Charge 归功于 Target; 把 fronts the ACC object of the chosen cloth under 没; light-noun 功劳 scout. This tick is Mandarin MERIT only — second (sixth) language for lemma credit under MERIT sense; VERB_COUNT stays 10. English / JA / ES / FR / IT twins already live. Navajo classificatory packaging remains deferred — do not invent depth this tick. Group B Romance and Group C (HU Focus, PL GEN-neg) stay on their twin pages / predictions. FIN Mandarin already live at credit-fin-zh.html — keep the FIN/MERIT split.

Open items

• Light-noun 功劳 productivity. Listed as companion; relative naturalness vs bare 归功于 needs controlled elicitation — flagged scout-leaning, not closed.
• Chinese 没 vs 不是 vs 没有. NegQ Credit open item: contrast on 归功于 vs 打入 / 入账, with 把 held constant — logged as open, not closed this tick.
• 的 / 把 on Charge vs Target under 没. Same scout status as Abney Chinese scout notes / Group A nominal packaging.
• Navajo micro-entry. Same Group A geometry; HANDLE / classificatory packaging. Deferred — do not invent depth this tick.
• Group C packaging. Hungarian Focus+nem, Polish GEN-neg predictions remain scout / predicted. No fake elicitation.
• Germanic rotate. DE zuschreiben vs gutschreiben already names the roots — later queue tick.
• ATT / MERIT polarity boundary. Keep 归因于 (ATT) vs 归功于 (MERIT) split; do not collapse pages.
• Share-of-credit MeasureP hybrid. Lexical entry §5.4: Charge recoded as quantified share. Diagnostics: replaceable by ascribe/recognize, not by wire/打入; weather can wear Target; the board can be wrong. Flagged, not deepened as verbal MeasureP on plain MERIT.
