Marc and I were talking about this this morning and I need more opinions! Tell me about these sentences of English - do they work for you?

[Poll #974955]


Linguists, please maintain radio silence about this for a little bit till the data comes in. Just checking, that's all. :)

Oh, okay, then I won't fill in the poll. :-) But if you want to see the paper I wrote on double direct objects and the dative in modern English, just give a yell. :-)

*grins* I'll make a follow up post later today about the dative alternation and what made me ask this and yeah, please do chime in!
