earmark · 专款专用 / 指定用于 (zhuānkuǎn zhuānyòng / zhǐdìng yòngyú)

Hierarchy

Same inventory as English earmark. Not three co-arguments of one V predicting a DOC and a transfer. Surface count can name the president, 14M BTC, and new technology — but Purpose is a use-property (type ⟨s,t⟩) via Mandarin 为了 / 用于, not a Goal of motion via 给 (allocate) and not a HAVE-Recipient (grant). Writing those three as sisters predicts a Goal 给 promote and a spend entailment. Mandarin keeps Purpose as 为了, and it still refuses Goal 给 on this cloth.

14M BTC = one MeasureP. Orthography / measure-word morphology is not extra arity. Amount and Denomination share one Case object. Composition is V(Resource), not V(n)(U). Hom(m, e): the designation is measured by the quantity. 把 takes the whole QP; it does not split Amount from unit, and it does not front Purpose.

Working hierarchy: Agent > Resource > Purpose (> optional Beneficiary, Time, Instrument — high / peripheral). Resource outranks Purpose for Case, passives, and measuring. What Group A Mandarin changes is Case cloth (把, 为了, reject 给-Goal). What it does not change is the inventory.

Mandarin frames · Case clothes

Resource object under ACC (often 把-fronted as a whole QP); Purpose as 为了 / 为 / 用于. There is no productive DOC. Purpose does not become an object and does not take 把. Beneficiary sometimes looks like an applied object under allocate’s 给, but earmark cloth keeps Beneficiary high / peripheral and refuses Goal 给 promote. Four-place surface: 为了 Purpose (+ optional Beneficiary / Time). Primary lemmas for the page: 专款专用 / 指定用于. Companion scout 预留 wears restriction lean — document both primaries; do not invent a sense split.

MeasureP WH · NegQ diagnostics

WH forces Amount ≠ Denomination inside one Case object. Verbal WH sees the Resource MeasureP under ACC / 把, not unit and degree as two objects of earmark. Same MeasureP pattern as pay_GIVE’s Amount, sell’s Price, charge_FEE’s fee, deduct’s decrement, bet’s Stake, and allocate’s Theme — here the MeasureP is the restricted Resource, and Purpose stays a selected 为了 / 用于 layer. Under Neg, 把 fronts the whole QP (没 / 没有); 把 does not front Purpose.

Superiority ranks Agent > Resource > Purpose / Beneficiary > (optional Time / Vehicle). Amount and Denomination never compete as two verbal WH-items. Cheap NegQ association tracks the Case object: ACC / 把 MeasureP under 指定用于 / 专款专用. Purpose-为了 is selected enough to WH with 为了什么？; it is not a second ACC and does not promote like Goal. 给 on 拨给 / 分配给 is Goal/Ben allocate cloth, not Purpose.

Geometry · earmark ≠ allocate_GOAL ≠ grant_GIVE ≠ 预留_restriction ≠ 扣

In 总统把 1400 万 BTC 指定用于新技术技术, the BTC is restricted for a use. New technology does not HAVE the coins. Spending is not e2. That is Allocation with Purpose flavour — not Goal-address (allocate / 拨给 / 分配给), not conferral (grant / 授予 / 给予), not Risk, not Exchange.

• ≠ allocate_GOAL / 拨给 / 分配给. Shared designation, MeasureP, authority, Type B Purpose available, missing spend-true. Split: listed third is Purpose property P via 为了 / 用于 (earmark) vs Goal individual y via 给 (allocate). Goal promote (✓ 部委被拨给了 1400 万吗？); earmark Beneficiary does not (*部委被指定了 1400 万吗？ as Goal). HAVE idle on earmark, sliding on allocate. Mandarin allocate Goal micro-entry still open — pointer contrast only this tick.
• ≠ grant_GIVE / 授予 / 给予. Shared authority and MeasureP available. Split: grant requires Appl_HAVE / HAVE-RIGHT; earmark refuses HAVE as e2 and keeps Purpose as 为了. Follow-up 不——部委从来没有获得处置权 challenges grant e2; on earmark it is idle (restriction can hold without drawing rights).
• ≠ book / reserve / schedule / companion 预留 as Ben/Time only. Same Allocation family. Split: reserve a cabin 为了团队 is Beneficiary; schedule 为了周五 is Time; earmark 14M BTC 为了新技术技术 is Purpose. Same family of heads; different flavour of the non-measuring inner relation. This page uses 预留 as companion restriction lean — not a Ben/Time-only collapse, and not a fake sense subscript.
• ≠ 卖 / sell. Sell: Recipient HAS goods; Price stays inside instrument / price cloth. Earmark: Resource is ACC / 把 MeasureP of the restriction; 为了新技术技术 is Purpose, not Price. No SWAP inversion.
• ≠ bet / 赌. Shared MeasureP packaging and a non-individual third of type ⟨s,t⟩. Split: bet’s third is settlement Content (Proposition); earmark’s is a use-property (RESTRICTED_FOR). *指定了 1400 万川普会赢 — Purpose is not Settle(p).
• ≠ deduct / 扣 / credit_FIN / charge_FEE / pay_GIVE. Shared MeasureP Hom available. Split: deduct’s 因为 is Reason (JUSTIFIED_BY) with FROM decrement; credit_FIN writes ledger HAS_ON_BOOKS; chargeFEE / pay write levy or Appl_HAVE. Earmark tags a Resource; amount need not leave. Four attachments: Purpose (earmark 为了) ≠ Reason (deduct 因为) ≠ Consideration (charge 为) ≠ Price (sell).
• Restriction-true is e2. A follow-up that denies spending, building the technology, transfer out of the reserve, or HAVE does not deny the earmark event. Un-earmark / reallocate (取消专款 / 重新划拨 scout) is a separate event that terminates e2.

Packaging (same geometry):
  指定用于 · 专款专用 · 预留 (scout)
  — Purpose stays 为了/用于; Resource stays ACC / 把
  拨给 / 分配给 — Goal cloth; do not merge

Voice introduces Agent with AUTHORITY(x,e) as a selectional / felicity conjunct — not a fifth argument. Presidents, legislatures, CFOs, DAOs, and statutes pass; bare persons need a hat; weather fails. Resource sits as Incremental Theme of the designation under ACC / 把. Purpose attaches as Type B Purp/Res outside the first phase, spelled 为了 / 用于. There is no Recipient HAVE shell and no ACC / 给 promotion of Purpose or Beneficiary as Goal. Putting a promotable 给-Goal in is how the allocate cloth (拨给 / 分配给) is written — a different root packaging, not √EARMARK growing a listed Goal.

Mandarin assigns ACC / 把 to the Resource only. Purpose, Beneficiary, Time, Source are PPs / coverbs (为了, marked 给 toward allocate). Passive-ish / 被 promotes the Resource QP as a whole — never Amount alone, never U alone, never Purpose into subject, never Beneficiary (*部委被指定了 1400 万; *没有把部委指定了 1400 万吗？ as Goal).

Group A packaging · this tick Mandarin Purpose only

Group A (Japanese / Mandarin / Navajo notes) keeps the Goal vs Purpose Case split under Neg. Quote Allocate_Earmark_Comparison §11.2: “Chinese 拨给 / 分配给 write Goal with 给 and lean allocate; 专款专用 / 指定用于 write Purpose without a Goal and lean earmark; 把 fronts the QP on both. 给 is the allocate diagnostic; 为了 is the Purpose diagnostic.” Quote Negative_Questions_Earmark: “Chinese 把 fronts the whole QP under 没 / 没有. 为 / 为了 marks Purpose. 给 marks a Beneficiary when the packaging leans allocate. 把 does not front Purpose. The restriction state can be written with a resultative; spending remains a sequel.”

This tick is Mandarin earmark only — 把 1400 万 BTC 指定用于新技术技术 (把 Resource, 用于 / 为了 Purpose); *Goal 给 promote on this cloth; Beneficiary does not promote. English twin live at earmark.html. Japanese twin live at earmark-ja.html. Spanish twin live at earmark-es.html. French twin live at earmark-fr.html. Italian twin live at earmark-it.html. Goal packaging 拨给 / 分配给 — pointed, not a Mandarin allocate_GOAL micro-entry this tick. Navajo — pointed, not deepened. Label speculation on ranking; do not fake elicitation.

Open items

• 专款专用 vs 指定用于 vs 预留 ranking. Relative naturalness of budgetary Purpose hinge vs designate-for-use vs restriction companion needs controlled elicitation — flagged scout-leaning, not closed. Do not invent a sense subscript. spec
• allocate_GOAL · Mandarin. 拨给 / 分配给 Goal cloth is the live contrast hinge in the extract but not yet a micro-entry page. Suggested following tick candidate after this close: rotate to open Group A Attitude neighbor or allocate_GOAL · ZH. spec
• Navajo HANDLE. Classificatory-stem packaging + outer purpose/beneficiary postpositions remain labeled speculation/scout; sell · Navajo also deferred. spec
• Polish GEN-neg on allocation — GEN on the Resource QP, not on Purpose, not on a stranded unit. Same prediction as bet / deduct / credit_FIN. spec
• Outer CAUSE. Site on the making vs on the designation; Purpose never becomes Causee Case under √EARMARK’s Mandarin cloth. Spend still not entailed under the wrap. Goal 给 still unused on this cloth.
• Reserve coercion (?小明为了客人预留了沙发) — bleeds into √RESERVE; less authority. Border with book / reserve remains a packaging check, not a fifth GF.
