give

Index 2 puts give in the exchange class. The class entry says √GIVE is the asymmetric ditransitive and is not √TRADE.

Hierarchy

One HAVE: Recipient comes to HAVE Theme. Dative alternation spells that one low Appl. Trade has two HAVE relations in opposite directions.

Class table. Shown because Index 2 lists give here. The entry’s point is that this listing must not flatten give into Theme₁ ↔ Theme₂.

English frames

  1. give Kim the book / give the book to Kim — the entry’s dative pair, not a new example.

No four-place give grid is endorsed. Platform is not an applied object of give in that entry.
