초록
This paper examines those transitive verb-plus-particle (V-P) combinations in English which are classified as idiomatic, aspectual and directional types such as look the word up, cut the meat up and pull the blind up, respectively. It is argued that these V-P combinations conform to their more general pattern(s), and that the particle immediately combines with the lexical verb to form a predicate. The resulting complex predicate is a grammatical and semantic unit that has the part-whole structure [V V P]. To justify this argument, the paper provides morphological data including agentive -er from various sources. It also adopts a constructional approach and proposes an analysis of the V-P predicate as a lexical construction. The construction is held in the lexicon either as an idiomatic V-P expression (e.g. look up) or as a template that contains a specific particle (e.g. V-up) and unifies with a lexical verb (e.g. cut up and pull up) therein by means of fusion. A relatively flat structure is used to represent this construction in phrasal syntax.
Abstract
This paper examines those transitive verb-plus-particle (V-P) combinations in English which are classified as idiomatic, aspectual and directional types such as look the word up, cut the meat up and pull the blind up, respectively. It is argued that these V-P combinations conform to their more general pattern(s), and that the particle immediately combines with the lexical verb to form a predicate. The resulting complex predicate is a grammatical and semantic unit that has the part-whole structure [V V P]. To justify this argument, the paper provides morphological data including agentive -er from various sources. It also adopts a constructional approach and proposes an analysis of the V-P predicate as a lexical construction. The construction is held in the lexicon either as an idiomatic V-P expression (e.g. look up) or as a template that contains a specific particle (e.g. V-up) and unifies with a lexical verb (e.g. cut up and pull up) therein by means of fusion. A relatively flat structure is used to represent this construction in phrasal syntax.
