Definitions

  1. Taking an indirect object.

    • French indirect transitive verbs, i.e. verbs which take an indirect object, cannot be passive.
    • It is common, not only for perception verbs but also for verbs that convey a metaphorically directional action with partially affected objects (especially animate objects), to display canonical indirect transitive constructions.
    • Overall children's performance on direct transitive event (e.g. girl crumpling a paper) was not significantly different from their performance on the indirect transitive event (e.g. man putting powder in a liquid that changes its color).
