Abstract

This article shows that Dowty (1991)s proto-agent and proto-patient set of entailments can be reduced to two discrete entailments: an unergative entailment and an unaccusative entailment. The former is an adaptation of er noun formation in the sense that not all er nouns in English refer to subjects, but all subjects of (di)transitive predicates and a subset of intransitive ones (the unergatives) allower noun formation. The latter entailment was proposed as a participle-adjective conversion rule by Bresnan (1982). Using these two entailments as tests for unaccusativity and unergativity, this article shows a more restrictive and predictive linking theory than Dowty (1991) and Wechsler (1995). Many verbs listed by them as exceptions (lexical doublets, nonstandard lexicalizations, syncategorematic verbs) are accounted for with the same Verber/Verbed Argument Selection Principle that accounts for Dowtys principle and for Wechslers three linking rules.
