Abstract
This paper focuses on the syntactic and semantic asymmetry between Goal (e.g., into the store) and Source locatives (e.g., from the store), which have not been properly contrasted but classified as directional locatives in the literature. Based on their syntactic and semantic asymmetry, the paper argues that these locatives have distinct underlying base positions in extended VP-structure and different semantic scope/contribution in event structure. This paper claims: (i) Goal PPs are generated under the lower VP2, and they semantically compose a core event (result state) denoted by the lower VP2; (ii) Source PPs are generated under the higher VP1, and semantically modify the process sub-event. Source locatives do not compose a core event. This paper identifies an interface principle between syntax and semantics of Goal/Source locatives, and further argues that the interface principle accounts for the non-directional readings of Goal/Source phrases in natural language.
