Abstract
This paper adopts a Labeling approach to the analysis of the double object construction (DOC). In conformity with Chomsky’s (2013, 2014, 2015) Labeling Algorithm (LA), a unified account is proposed of the derivation of DOC in Mandarin Chinese. It is argued that the pair-Merged element in a complex verb in the DOC is invisible for labeling and the normal labeling procedure for the Head will apply.
