초록

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Experiencer Objects of the English Psych Verbs. There are two constructions which show the crossover between two thematic roles: one is the Locative Inversion Construction(LIC). The other is the Experiencer Object Psych Verbs Construction(EO-PVC). In this study, I assume that EO is another locative PP in LIC because the preposition P has [Loc] features which contain a mental location. So the EO-PVC can be called the expanded LF-LIC. Specifically, I follow Landau (2010)’s “quirky experiencers” and the basic assumptions: According to QSP, the preposition in the locative PP has a null case, “φ” in English. Just as the PP in LIC is overtly moved to the [Spec, TP] at S-Structure, so the experiencer PP in EO-PVC is covertly moved to the [Spec-TP] at LF. As a result, both constructions have the multiple specifiers. But in the former the inversion is obligatory and the subject is topicalized, but in the latter this is not the case. That’s because the LF-movement is a covert movement which is not related to the discourse function. This analysis of EO as an LF-subject help to solve the puzzles such as adjunct control, backward binding, and scope readings.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Experiencer Objects of the English Psych Verbs. There are two constructions which show the crossover between two thematic roles: one is the Locative Inversion Construction(LIC). The other is the Experiencer Object Psych Verbs Construction(EO-PVC). In this study, I assume that EO is another locative PP in LIC because the preposition P has [Loc] features which contain a mental location. So the EO-PVC can be called the expanded LF-LIC. Specifically, I follow Landau (2010)’s “quirky experiencers” and the basic assumptions: According to QSP, the preposition in the locative PP has a null case, “φ” in English. Just as the PP in LIC is overtly moved to the [Spec, TP] at S-Structure, so the experiencer PP in EO-PVC is covertly moved to the [Spec-TP] at LF. As a result, both constructions have the multiple specifiers. But in the former the inversion is obligatory and the subject is topicalized, but in the latter this is not the case. That’s because the LF-movement is a covert movement which is not related to the discourse function. This analysis of EO as an LF-subject help to solve the puzzles such as adjunct control, backward binding, and scope readings.
