abstract

Applicatives are a valency-changing strategy present in many languages. In an applicative construction what would be normally expressed with an oblique is promoted to be an argument of the verb. As such applicatives usually function as a referent- focusing strategy at discourse level, because they bring into focus an otherwise peripherical element. An applicative construction is most commonly formally signalled via dedicated morphosyntax on the verb.
