This study investigated the differences in linguistic markers (LMs) and accompanying nonverbal behaviours (NVBs) associated…

Dative alternation between prepositional and double object datives has been a popular topic in second language (L2) acquisition, but only few studies deal with discourse constraints such as the "given-before-new" principle, or given-new (GN) ordering, which describes the tendency to place given information before new information. The…
