Of all the particles in Japanese, the dative particle ni is perhaps the one whose meaning is most difficult to pin down. It denotes, among many other things, location, goal, source, cause, purpose, reason, recipient, giver, causee, passive agent, and even experiencer in dative-experiencer-subjectconstructions. Some of its meanings, such as goal/source, reason/purpose,and recipient/giver, are semantically the polar opposites of one another. Inthis in-depth study of the particle, Hansen maintains that the syncretism exhibited by the dative case marker in Japanese is not arbitrary, but the result...
Of all the particles in Japanese, the dative
particle ni is perhaps the one whose meaning is most
difficult to pin down. It denotes, among many other
things, location, goal, source, cause, purpose,
reason, recipient, giver, causee, passive agent, and
even experiencer in dative-experiencer-subject
constructions. Some of its meanings, such as
goal/source, reason/purpose,and recipient/giver, are
semantically the polar opposites of one another. In
this in-depth study of the particle, Hansen
maintains that the syncretism exhibited by the
dative case marker in Japanese is not arbitrary, but
the result of meaning extensions of the two basic
senses: goal and location. Moreover she argues that
it was not the meanings of the dative as such that
were extended, but that of entire constructions
containing the dative. To explain the mechanisms
behind the extensions the author draws upon the
theoretical frameworks of Cognitive Grammar and
Construction Grammar with additional support from
typological and diachronic studies.
