It is said that there exist meaning differences between dative, dative, and locative sentences and the variants associated with these alternation constructions and that no convincing account from generative grammar is available. Given this, this papers aims to give a cognitive and functional account to the semantic and pragmatic differences at issue in terms of Haiman's (1980, 1983, and 1985) distance principle of his Iconicity Theory. An attempted is first made to explore the properties of the three constructions and some constraints imposed on them. Based on the principle that "the linguistic distance between expressions corresponds to the conceptual distance between them" it is then proposed that the closer the (beneficiary/goal, attempt-action, location) object NP is to the verb, the greater and the more direct the verb's effect on the NP.
