Syntactic function vttoN1.+N2
ditransitive verb followed by its direct object, and this followed by an indirect nominal object
1. We need to separate out the cases where the indirect object comes last and subsume them under vtt+N1.oN2, in accordance with our principles on the distinction between "o" and "+". 2. Double object constructions are often notoriously difficult to distinguish reliably from single object constructions with a nominal complement. Time complements are obviously not construed as indirect objects, but place nouns can raise problems with movement verbs.
