Definition

the construction used to express the agent of the trivalent giving event (the A role), the theme of the giving event (the T role), and the recipient of the giving event (the R role) when the agent is more salient than the theme or recipient. Example: Randy gave the car to his daughter is an instance of the exemplar (the single 'most prototypical' example) of the ditransitive construction. (Sections 6.1.2, 7.5.1)
