Word Order in Resultatives
This paper advances a general account of word order in resultatives. My conclusions derive from consideration of several languages, both VO and OV. Featured from the first group are English, Igbo, Edo, Ambae, Paamese, Mandarin, Shanghainese, Thai, and Vietnamese; included in the second are German, Ijọ, Japanese, Malayalam, Kannada, Mizo, and Yi. Resultatives are single clause constructions comp...
متن کاملReflexivity and Resultatives
This paper presents data from Kannada that resist either type of analysis ( 2). The grammar of reflexivity in Kannada reveals that resultatives must be syntactically distinguished both from ECM constructions and from simple transitives. Simple transitives and ECM constructions allow verbal reflexive marking when reflexive, but resultatives do not. To explain this, we assign Kannada resultatives...

This is because the former are lexically implicated or entailed, and thus are more available and less expensive than the latter in the sense that they involve less practical reasoning. In addition, in terms of the strong-weak distinction, an implicational universal can be posited, namely that if a language has strong resultatives, it must have weak resultatives as well (Washio 1999, 2002). Seco...

We propose a diachronic relationship by which the originally predicative part of a resultative is reinte...
