초록
Object-to-subject raising constructions are special constructions not only in English but also in other languages such as Spanish, Dutch, and German. Object-to-subject raising constructions are constructions of great academic interests both in theoretical and educational aspects. Numerous previous studies have discussed the object-to-subject raising and yet have not come up with the distinctive properties of the constructions that allow objects to raise to subject positions in comparison with other constructions that do not allow objects to raise to subject positions. The aim of this study is to investigate object-to-subject raising in English and find out the semantic properties that the constructions of the object-to-subject raising have. On the basis of the results of empirical survey with native and nonnative speakers of English, this study puts forth a conclusion that predicates of affecting constructions, predicates of polar opposite constructions, and predicates of necessity constructions allow object-to-subject raising in adjective-to-infinitive constructions. The results of this study will make a contribution not only to theoretical developments but also to educational application.
Abstract
Object-to-subject raising constructions are special constructions not only in English but also in other languages such as Spanish, Dutch, and German. Object-to-subject raising constructions are constructions of great academic interests both in theoretical and educational aspects. Numerous previous studies have discussed the object-to-subject raising and yet have not come up with the distinctive properties of the constructions that allow objects to raise to subject positions in comparison with other constructions that do not allow objects to raise to subject positions. The aim of this study is to investigate object-to-subject raising in English and find out the semantic properties that the constructions of the object-to-subject raising have. On the basis of the results of empirical survey with native and nonnative speakers of English, this study puts forth a conclusion that predicates of affecting constructions, predicates of polar opposite constructions, and predicates of necessity constructions allow object-to-subject raising in adjective-to-infinitive constructions. The results of this study will make a contribution not only to theoretical developments but also to educational application.
