iobj: indirect object

The indirect object of a verb is any nominal phrase that is a core argument of the verb but is not its subject or direct object. A prototypical example is the recipient of ditransitive verbs of speaking:

Говореше на всички като началник . \n Spoke-he to everybody like a-boss .
iobj(Говореше, всички)
iobj(Spoke-he, everybody)

The other examples include all arguments of a head that are not direct objects or subjects, and are PPs introduced by various prepositions. These cases are handled in the valency dictionary:

Ще те питам за нещо . \n Will you ask-I for something .
iobj(питам, нещо)
iobj(ask-I, something)
