Special attention will be given to Bantu (Swahili, Kinyarwanda) and Adamawa(Maya, Nyong, Waka) languages on the basis of the field work data. I will discuss sometheoretical issues relevant to the subject. NC languages vary greatly in both formal meansto express ditransitive constructions (lacking overt case marking) and structural types ofexpressing Recipient and Theme. Substantial distinctions in 3-valency verb constructions inboth groups of related NC languages can be observed as well as the fact that surfacemorphosyntactic structures are influenced not only by role hierarchy, but also by animacy(deictic) hierarchy. Finally, the paper offers an attempt of putting the afore-mentionedNiger-Congo languages into a multidimensional typological matrix for 3-valency(ditransitive) constructions. ",
