The affactive <i>få</i> ‘get’ construction in Danish

Abstract As in many other Germanic languages, Modern Danish combines the verb få ‘get’ and a semantic main supine form (the uninflected perfect participle). Three types of construction are found: an agentive type typically interpreted as expressing successful intentional action two non-agentive types: one with ditransitive promotion indirect object to subject status, non-valency-bound Beneficiary. Based on functional framework, paper presents corpus study analysis unifying all three common Affactive Construction whose contribution is specification Afficiary (Beneficiary or Maleficiary). The distinction between interpretation analysed voice active passive.
