Kolln 1990: 22 explains that pattern 2 consists of two noun phrase complements which follow the transitive verb. Those noun phrases do not refer to
the same object. Kolln, in addition, states that there is a position shift in which
the indirect object follows the direct object. It occurs when there is preposition to or for following the direct object. Table 4.4 illustrates the findings of the use of
pattern 2.

a. Transitive Verbs Constructed with Pattern 2 in the Active Voice
Based on the research findings, there were 7 transitive verbs constructed with the transitive verb pattern 2 in the active voice. The following example in
Table 4.5 illustrates the data of the transitive verbs.

gave Australia gave
strong support to the Republic
memberi Australia memberi

The verb gave in the clause “Australia gave strong support to the
Republic ” was considered as an active transitive verb based on the transitive verb
pattern 2. Australia
gave strong support
to the Republic
NP
1
Vt NP
2
preposition NP
3
The noun phrase Australia functioned as the subject of the clause. The verb gave was the transitive verb since it was followed by the phrase strong
support as the direct object. The noun phrase the Republic was put after preposition to; therefore, it was called object of preposition and it functioned as
the indirect object.
b. Transitive Verbs Constructed with Pattern 2 in the Passive Voice
There were 3 passive transitive verbs constructed with the transitive verb pattern 2. The analysis of this kind of transitive verbs was the same as the
analysis on the passive transitive verbs constructed with pattern 1. It was based on Kolln
’s 1990 and Azar’s 1999 theories. The clause “the Australians were given responsibility for occupying the whole of eastern Indonesia and
Kalimantan” was taken as the data representative of the passive transitive verbs. Table 4.6 illustrates the finding of this pattern.

Kalimantan.
The noun phrase the Australians in the clause “the Australians were
given responsibility for occupying the whole of eastern Indonesia and
Kalimantan
” functioned as the subject of the clause. The verb phrase were given was the passive transitive verb. The phrase responsibility for occupying the
whole of eastern Indonesia and Kalimantan was the direct object which
received the effect of the transitive verb. The clause was changed into active voice in order to see the pattern as follows. The clause was analyzed into two versions
in which the direct object followed the indirect object and vice versa. People
gave the Australians
responsibility for occupying the whole of eastern
Indonesia and Kalimantan
NP
1
Vt NP
2 indirect object
NP
3 direct object
The noun phrases People, the Australians, and responsibility for occupying the whole of eastern Indonesia and Kalimantan did not refer to the
same object. It meant that the transitive verb pattern 2 was employed in this clause. Moreover, Kolln 1990: 22 states that another characteristic of pattern 2
is a position shift of the indirect object occurring. It was possible to make position
44 shift of the indirect object in the clause; the indirect object followed the direct
object by inserting preposition to.
People gave
responsibility for occupying the whole of
eastern Indonesia and Kalimantan

Australians
NP
1
Vt NP
2 direct object

3 indirect object
Both of the changed forms to the active transitive verb patterns showed
that the clause “the Australians were given responsibility for occupying the whole
of eastern Indonesia and Kalimantan ” employed the transitive verb pattern 2.
The NP
1,
NP
2,
and NP
3
did not refer to the same object. NP
1
functioned as the subject of the clause while NP
2
functioned as the indirect object and NP
3
as the direct object referring to the first version. Nevertheless, NP
2
could also function as the direct object and NP
3
as the indirect object when preposition to was inserted
between NP
2
and NP
3.
