The approach to Subject and Object assignment in Dik ’s Functional Grammar is one of the most controversial aspects of the theory. Dik (1997) formulates a universal hierarchy of semantic functions determining accessibility to the Subject and Object functions. The “cut-off point ” for Object assignment in English is established after the Beneficiary. However, it is my contention that Object assignment is not restricted to Goal, Recipient and Beneficiary terms. As I will try to illustrate in this paper, there are other more marginal possibilities that suggest that the productivity of Object assigment is a matter of degree (cf. Brdar and Brdar Szabó 1993). La asignación de las funciones sintácticas Sujeto y Objeto es uno de los aspectos más problemáticos planteados en la Gramática Funcional de Dik (1997). En esta teoría las posibilidades de asignación de ambas funciones están determinadas por una jerarquía universal que ordena las funciones semánticas según su centralidad respecto a la p...
