L'alternança acusatiu/datiu des de la perspectiva lexicogràfica

Abstract

Our aim in this paper is to provide an overview of the accusative/dative alternation in the [+ animate] object argument in various types of verb (molestar, telefonar, perdonar, imputar) from a lexicographical perspective. Very often, the variations in linguistic use are dealt with first in monographs, and later they appear in grammars or other reference works, which, at the same time, are the prime sources for work on lexicography. All the same, variation presents lexicographers with a twofold challenge because they haveto decide whether the phenomenon described is sufficiently widely used to justify its inclusion in a dictionary under all the words it affects, and because the causes of the phenomenon condition the way it is represented (acceptations, comments, examples, markers).
