Agrammatic aphasic production and comprehension of unaccusative verbs in sentence contexts [PDF]
Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2004 This study examined the Argument Structure Complexity Hypothesis (ASCH, [J. Neuroling. 16 (2003) 151]), by investigating agrammatic aphasic comprehension and elicited production of two types of intransitive verbs (i.e. unergatives and unaccusatives) in sentence contexts.

The curious case of processing unaccusative verbs in aphasia. [PDF]
Aphasiology, 2017 Individuals with agrammatic Broca's aphasia (IWBA) exhibit a delay in lexical activation in S-V-O word order sentences and delayed lexical reactivation in sentences that contain syntactic dependencies. This pattern is in contrast to neurologically unimpaired individuals who immediately evince lexical reactivation at the gap in sentences that contain ...

Reactivation of unaccusative and unergative verbs in Mandarin [PDF]
Concentric: Studies in Linguistics, 2021 Abstract Intransitives can be classified into two subclasses: unaccusative verbs and unergative verbs. According to the Unaccusative Hypothesis, the difference between unaccusatives and unergatives lies in where the single argument is generated in the underlying syntactic structure.

The comprehension of sentences with unaccusative verbs in aphasia: a test of the intervener hypothesis. [PDF]
Aphasiology, 2017 It is well accepted that individuals with agrammatic Broca's aphasia have difficulty comprehending some sentences with filler-gap dependencies. While investigations of these difficulties have been conducted with several different sentence types (e.g., object relatives, Wh-questions), we explore sentences containing unaccusative verbs, which arguably ...

The Comparative Fallacy in Studies of the L2 Acquisition of Unaccusative Verbs
Studies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2004 Much research has been done in the past half-dozen years on the acquisition of unaccusative verbs by learners of a second language. While these studies are concerned with the acquisition of a target language (TL) system, too much emphasis on the ...

Brain Regions Involved in Underlying Syntactic Processing of Mandarin Chinese Intransitive Verbs: An fMRI Study [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2021 According to the Unaccusative Hypothesis, intransitive verbs are divided into unaccusative and unergative ones based on the distinction of their syntactic properties, which has been proved by previous theoretical and empirical evidence.

Unsupervised Discovery of Unaccusative and Unergative Verbs [PDF]
CoRR, 2021 We present an unsupervised method to detect English unergative and unaccusative verbs. These categories allow us to identify verbs participating in the causative-inchoative alternation without knowing the semantic roles of the verb. The method is based on the generation of intransitive sentence variants of candidate verbs and probing a language model ...
