Unaccusative-Causative Alternations and the Dynamic Structure of Verbs
Many transitive verbs have a so-called unaccusative alternant. The existence of such alternants raises the question of how the class of verbs that exhibit this alternation can semantically be characterized. In this paper a theory is presented in which the existence of unaccusative alternants is derived from basic semantic properties that are used for an aspectual interpretation of verbs. The th...
متن کاملThe Neural Correlates of Linguistic Distinctions: Unaccusative and Unergative Verbs
Unaccusative verbs like fall are special in that their sole argument is syntactically generated at the object position of the verb rather than at the subject position.

متن کاملMono-eventive Verbs of Emission and their bi-eventive nominalizations∗
In languages like German or Dutch, the distinction between unergative and unaccusative verbs is borne out by a number of syntactic tests.

Unergative verbs select the perfect auxiliary haben/hebben (to have) while unaccusative verbs select sein/zijn (to be) (cf. Hoekstra (1984)). Unaccusative ...
متن کاملA Contrastive Study of Chinese Learners’Acquisition of English Non-alternating and Alternating Unaccusative Verbs

This study conducts a contrastive study of how Chinese learners acquire these two types of verbs in terms of acquisition sequence, acquisition problem and developmental patterns. It finds that non-...
