This paper shows that there are two ditransitive alignment types in Ainu, viz. a frequently-used double-object construction (doc) and infrequently-used indirective object construction (ioc). Ainu ditransitives encoded by the doc are unusual cross-linguistically because all of them, including the verb kor-e [have-caus] ‘give’, are derived by causative, applicative or applicative-causative derivations. I argue that the ioc is possible in Ainu only either with those verbs which have no applicative (three-argument) counterparts or with ditransitive verbs of a slightly extended ditransitive case frame including Source / inanimate Goal instead of Recipient proper. Comparing the formal properties of the docencoded ditransitives and those of other three-argument constructions, I claim that Ainu presents a counterexample to Kittilä’s (2006) Universal 1, since the so-called most typical ditransitive verb ‘give’, viz. the derived verb kor-e lit. ‘make/let sb have sth’ in Ainu, is outranked in formal transitivity by the underived three-argument verb o ‘put/place sth (pl) on sth’ of a non-ditransitive case frame.Языки и языкознание;Японский язык;Языки Японии;Айнский язык
