Looking for a Source on Dative Shift

Post by 2+3 clusivity »

Name says it all. I did a few searches of ZBB and CBB but didn't find a broad source. I have uni access.

All suggestions much appreciated.

Are you looking for analyses of dative shift? Corpus studies? You really should be more specific.

Icelandic and English both have it. I know a text on it in Icelandic...
