Active and passive verbs differ in their allowance for VP adverbs such that active verbs allow the adverbs to follow them while passive verbs allow the adverbs either before or after them. This paper is to propose an account for the distributional difference of VP adverbs with respect to the voice of the verb after discussing both some empirical and theoretical shortcomings of Haumann’s (2007) account. It will be argued that it is not the value of voice, but the different structure of passive and active verbs that is responsible for the distributional difference of VP adverbs. In particular, the VP-Focus phrase is proposed for the structure of passives. Thus the new account eventually supports the argument that active and passive verbs project a different syntactic structure and accordingly trigger a different kind of movement of the verb involved.
Abstract
Active and passive verbs differ in their allowance for VP adverbs such that active verbs allow the adverbs to follow them while passive verbs allow the adverbs either before or after them. This paper is to propose an account for the distributional difference of VP adverbs with respect to the voice of the verb after discussing both some empirical and theoretical shortcomings of Haumann’s (2007) account. It will be argued that it is not the value of voice, but the different structure of passive and active verbs that is responsible for the distributional difference of VP adverbs. In particular, the VP-Focus phrase is proposed for the structure of passives. Thus the new account eventually supports the argument that active and passive verbs project a different syntactic structure and accordingly trigger a different kind of movement of the verb involved.
