The Syntactic Analysis of Unaccusative Verbs in Archaic Chinese

2020 International Conference on Asian Language Processing (IALP), 2020
In this paper, I provide syntactic analysis on unaccusative verbs in Archaic Chinese. I argue that a zero or covert nominalizer exists and triggers verbs in the subject or object position to undergo nominalization. When an unaccusative verb appears in the position of prenominal modifier, it behaves as predicate of a relative clause, rather than behave ...

Issues with the Unergative/Unaccusative Classification of the Intransitive Verbs

2011 International Conference on Asian Language Processing, 2011
The paper abandons a strict two-way sub-classification of intransitive verbs into unaccuasative and unergative for Hindi and proposes a distribution plotting of the same in a diffusion chart. The diagnostics tests that Bhatt (2003) applied on Hindi data are ranked for their efficiency of attributing correct sub-class to verbs. The diffusion chart shows

The Neural Correlates of Linguistic Distinctions: Unaccusative and Unergative Verbs

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010
AbstractUnaccusative 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. Unaccusative verbs are derived by a lexical operation that reduces the agent from transitive verbs.

Causative errors with unaccusative verbs in L2 Spanish

Second Language Research, 1999
Unaccusative verbs do not form a homogeneous class with respect to the syntactic constructions in which they may appear. Change of state unaccusatives alternate in transitivity ( romper ‘break’), others have a suppletive causative counterpart for the transitive variant ( morir-matar ‘diekill’), while still others do not alternate and do not have ...

Unaccusativity and Verbs of Motion

1989
This paper studies the relative contributions of syntax and semantics to unaccusative phenomena through the study of the behavior of verbs of motion with respect to a variety of unaccusative phenomena. Three classes of intransitive verbs of motion are introduced, which are cross-classified by unaccusative diagnostics.

L2 ACQUISITION OF JAPANESE UNACCUSATIVE VERBS

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2001
This paper reports on an experimental study that investigates the acquisition of Japanese unaccusative verbs by English-speaking learners. Following Levin and Rappaport Hovav (1995), it is assumed that unaccusativity is syntactically represented but semantically determined.

Unaccusatives: A Cluster of Verb Classes

2010
The focus of this chapter is unaccusative verbs (both change-of-location and change-of-state) and how they should be reanalyzed given our conclusions about Clausal Fusion. Section 1 reconsiders obligatory place argument verbs (go, turn), Section 2, optional place argument verbs (fall, change).
