User:Joeystanley/Extended transitive and intransitives
Extended transitives are verbs that require an A and O argument, in addition to an oblique argument[1]: xxvii . This differs from ditransitives which have three arguments in the core. The word give in English can be either (John gave the book to Mary is an extended transitive while John gave Mary the book is a ditransitive).
An extended intransitive are intransitive verbs that take an S argument and also an oblique[1]: xxvii. 351–3 .
Mentioned in Changing valency, ch. 4 with the Motuna language.
