초록
This paper investigates the properties of extraposition from subject in English at the syntax-lexicon and syntax-discourse interfaces. The attested presence of counterexamples (from unergative and transitive verbs) for the standard unaccsuative restriction led to the abandonment of a syntactic analysis of the construction and of its unaccusativity diagnostic status. It is argued, however, that the existence of counterexamples does not preclude a syntactic/semantic analysis in favor of a discourse/functional approach. This paper shows that it is locative syntax that encompasses various types of verbs allowed in the construction and makes discourse requirements on the construction to be met.
Abstract
This paper investigates the properties of extraposition from subject in English at the syntax-lexicon and syntax-discourse interfaces. The attested presence of counterexamples (from unergative and transitive verbs) for the standard unaccsuative restriction led to the abandonment of a syntactic analysis of the construction and of its unaccusativity diagnostic status. It is argued, however, that the existence of counterexamples does not preclude a syntactic/semantic analysis in favor of a discourse/functional approach. This paper shows that it is locative syntax that encompasses various types of verbs allowed in the construction and makes discourse requirements on the construction to be met.
