초록
The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 16(4), 147-171. This paper shows a fairly tight relationship between the syntax and semantics of resultative adjectives with lexical verbs in English (e.g., wipe the table clean). It is argued that the resultative adjective (RA) is part of the predicate it forms with the lexical verb (V) immediately and restrictively. The resulting complex predicate is a grammatical and semantic unit that is syntactically intricate. The paper supports the argument using morphological operations including -ing nominalisation and semantic tests for contradiction and telicity. In line with constructionists, it also proposes an analysis of the V-RA combination as a construction. The construction is a template that is stored in the lexicon with the constructional meaning of direct causation and is integrated with a resultative adjective and/or a lexical verb therein by means of fusion. A relatively flat structure is used to represent this lexical construction in phrasal syntax.
Abstract
The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 16(4), 147-171. This paper shows a fairly tight relationship between the syntax and semantics of resultative adjectives with lexical verbs in English (e.g., wipe the table clean). It is argued that the resultative adjective (RA) is part of the predicate it forms with the lexical verb (V) immediately and restrictively. The resulting complex predicate is a grammatical and semantic unit that is syntactically intricate. The paper supports the argument using morphological operations including -ing nominalisation and semantic tests for contradiction and telicity. In line with constructionists, it also proposes an analysis of the V-RA combination as a construction. The construction is a template that is stored in the lexicon with the constructional meaning of direct causation and is integrated with a resultative adjective and/or a lexical verb therein by means of fusion. A relatively flat structure is used to represent this lexical construction in phrasal syntax.
