• The Benefactive construction in Japanese, V-te-age-ru/yar-u, where the donative verb age-ru/yar-u 'give' is involved, has been extensively discussed. One of the issues is how to reconcile the Benefactive interpretation given to a DP and the position where it appears; that is, the Benefactive interpretation should be related to the donative verb 'give'; however, the Benefactive DP sometimes appears to be an argument of a lexical verb and to remain within the VP. In this paper, we will argue that age-ru/yar-u is a realization of an Appl(icative) head, which takes an "applied" argument such as the Benefactive (cf. Pylkkanen 2002, Okura 2006, 2009), and that the Benefactive DP in question is actually raised to a position where a local relationship is established with Appl and the Benefactive interpretation is obtained.
