THE DITRANSITIVE CONSTRUCTIONS IN THE RUSSIAN AND CHINESE LANGUAGES
Abstract
The article compares ditransitive constructions in the Russian and Chinese languages on the basis of linguistic typology. The compositions, markers and types of expressions in these languages are discussed in the paper and the correlation of the word order in ditransitive constructions with principles of iconics and hierarchy of animacy are revealed. The study focuses on similarities and differences in the directions of ditransitive constructions theme in these languages. There are three directions of movement of the theme in Chinese (the movement to the right, to the left and the bidirectional movement), while in Russian only one type of movement exists (the movement to the right).
