초록

This paper discusses the similarities and differences in semantic role assignments of emotion adjectives happy and sad to their arguments, with focus on their occurrence in anticipatory-it constructions. It claims, based on a corpus-based quantitative and qualitative analysis, that even though both happy and sad assign an experiencer role to their animate subject, they differ in assigning a causer role to their inanimate subject: in predicative position, sad is able to assign a causer role to their inanimate subject argument, while happy is not. This difference explains why anticipatory it+sad constructions are acceptable and anticipatory it+happy constructions are not. It also shows that anticipatory-it+sad constructions are used more frequently than SPEAKER-sad constructions in American English, while they are used in similar frequency in British English.

Abstract

This paper discusses the similarities and differences in semantic role assignments of emotion adjectives happy and sad to their arguments, with focus on their occurrence in anticipatory-it constructions. It claims, based on a corpus-based quantitative and qualitative analysis, that even though both happy and sad assign an experiencer role to their animate subject, they differ in assigning a causer role to their inanimate subject: in predicative position, sad is able to assign a causer role to their inanimate subject argument, while happy is not. This difference explains why anticipatory it+sad constructions are acceptable and anticipatory it+happy constructions are not. It also shows that anticipatory-it+sad constructions are used more frequently than SPEAKER-sad constructions in American English, while they are used in similar frequency in British English.
