Ditransitive Kollokationen: eine konstruktionsgrammatische Untersuchung aus der DaF-Perspektive

German collocations with a ditransitive structure constitute a major challenge for learners of German. Although they have the same abstract semantic and syntactic pattern as the corresponding non-phraseological instantiations, they are characterized by idiosyncratic features. Using empirical tests our study addresses the difficulties encountered by Italian-speaking learners when learning ditransitive collocations. We argue in favor of a learning method which combines a construction-based approach and structural priming.
