The article discusses the dative subject constructions (DSC) in Hindi, Nepali, and Marathi, as well as relational grammar. The author argues that DSC is an areal trait and surveys several attempts in the past to characterize them. The article shows that DSC in Hindi, Nepali, and Marathi occur with verbs denoting sense-perception, health conditions, and mental and emotional experiences. The article includes number of tables and examples. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2007-01-18)
