摘要虽然单参与者事件和双参与者事件，如不及物结构和及物结构所表达的，已经从跨语言的角度进行了广泛的研究，很少有工作已经做了三个参与者事件和他们在不同语言中的运作方式。在有描述和分析的地方，它通常局限于句法上的三位谓词，而忽略了语言中的功能等价结构，在这些语言中，这些事件可以用其他的论元配置来实现。此外，在存在分析的情况下，它通常仅限于那些在英语和其他众所周知的语言中词汇化为三位谓词的三参与者事件。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了三个参与者事件的语义类别，并概述了一系列不同的跨语言编码策略。我们发现，作为替代品的句法三位策略，有各种各样的结构，句法上的两个地方，但表达了第三个参与者的一些其他手段-形态，句法，或语用。
Abstract Although one- and two-participant events, as expressed by intransitive and transitive constructions, have been extensively studied from a crosslinguistic perspective, little work has been done on three-participant events and the ways they operate in different languages. Where there is description and analysis it is typically confined to syntactic three-place predicates ignoring functional equivalent constructions in languages where such events may be realized with other argument configurations. Also, where analysis exists, it is typically limited to those three-participant events that get lexicalized as three-place predicates in English and other well-known languages. In this article, we explore the semantic categories of three-participant events and outline a range of different strategies for coding them crosslinguistically. We show that, as alternatives to syntactic three-place strategies, there are a variety of constructions that are syntactically two-place but express a third participant by some other means — morphological, syntactic, or pragmatic.
