<p>from Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Affected object''' is a [[object]] that is affected by the action expressed by the [[verb]]. <br /> <br /> ===Examples===<br /> In ''He ate a sandwich'', ''a sandwich'' denotes the affected object because the sandwich gradually disappears in the eating-process. In contrast, ''his father'' in ''He gave his father a book'' or ''He saw his father'' does not denote an affected object. A verb like ''eat'' is called an affectedness verb. The [[complement]] ''the wagon'' in ''he loaded the wagon with hay'' is called totally affected, in contrast to ''the wagon'' in ''he loaded hay on the wagon'' (only part of the wagon may be affected). <br /> <br /> ===Comment===<br /> The notion affected object is closely related to the notion [[patient]].<br /> <br /> ===Link===<br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Affected+object&amp;lemmacode=994 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics] <br /> <br /> ===References===<br /> *{{: Jackendoff 1990}}<br /> *Tenny, C. 1987.
