A Study on the Necessity of Syntactic Conditioning to Improve Communicative Competence

Communicative competence is of paramount importance to teach and learn English all over the world. More than anything else, to be communicatively competent, we need to be syntactically conditioned concerning double object constructions. In this paper, I will try to expound the analyses of double object constructions for English learners to improve communicative competence. Double object constructions have played a crucial role in linguistic literature and communicative competence. We will observe that there are symmetries, asymmetries concerning double object constructions. We will also see that there are symmetries and asymmetries with respect to passivization. Moreover, I will examine English pseudo-forms regarding authentic double object constructions in details. I will also survey the instances of Korean pseudo-forms.
