초록

Resultative constructions are those clauses in which, in addition to the main verb (V), there is an additional, secondary predicate, predicating some state that comes about for some participant in the event as a result of the action described by the clause. In this paper, I analyse resultatives, a kind of construction in which a process is followed by the indication of telicity: prepositional phrases (PP resultatives); adjectival phrase resultatives (AP resultatives). It is argued that AP resultatives and PP resultatives have different syntactic structures. I first discuss temporal relations between the V and XP other than causation, and then the role of change and telicity in resultative constructions. There are word order restrictions for the resultative constructions in order to encode path, similar to the word restrictions found in idioms, which supports a constructional account. The prohibitions on extraction are dependent on semantics and not syntactic factors

Abstract

Resultative constructions are those clauses in which, in addition to the main verb (V), there is an additional, secondary predicate, predicating some state that comes about for some participant in the event as a result of the action described by the clause. In this paper, I analyse resultatives, a kind of construction in which a process is followed by the indication of telicity: prepositional phrases (PP resultatives); adjectival phrase resultatives (AP resultatives). It is argued that AP resultatives and PP resultatives have different syntactic structures. I first discuss temporal relations between the V and XP other than causation, and then the role of change and telicity in resultative constructions. There are word order restrictions for the resultative constructions in order to encode path, similar to the word restrictions found in idioms, which supports a constructional account. The prohibitions on extraction are dependent on semantics and not syntactic factors
