Bringing together Szabolcsi’s work on Hungarian possessive sentences, the possessor-raising tradition having to do with inalienables, locative datives, temporal datives, datives with modals, datives with psych-verbs and dative subjects in French causatives, I will suggest that dative arguments invariably originate DP-internally.
