This paper examines the syntactic difference between double object NPs and indirect object NPs based on seven syntactic diagnostics. On the basis of semantic criteria the double object verbs are classified into two groups. The paper claims that the double object NPs behave both in markedly different manners from each other and from Hausa indirect object verbs.
