In order to reduce or avoid the redundancy in theoretical researches and the awkwardness in language teaching brought about by the doubleobject construction (DOC), this paper reexamines the case assignment and the argument structure in the DOC, and finds out the following facts: the indirect object and the direct object can not be both assigned accusative case; the DOC, in which one predicate verb takes two internal arguments as its objects, goes against the binary structure, the holographic law of language and the universe. Based on those facts, an inference, verified by the real linguistic data, can be made that the DOC is representational and makes no sense in terms of syntactic existence.
