Adjectival Conversion of Unaccusatives in German
Journal of Germanic Linguistics, 2011The paper presents an in-depth study of the conditions under which unaccusative verbs in German take part in the formation of so-called ADJECTIVAL PASSIVES. It provides corpus-linguistic as well as psycho-linguistic evidence arguing that combinations ofsein‘to be’ with the participle of an unaccusative verb are systematically ambiguous between a ...

ITL - International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2002
Abstract Interlanguage 'novel unaccusative' (term borrowed from BALCOM 1997) has been a subject of investigation since the late 1970s, though it has usually been discussed under the terms of an interlanguage syntactic structure called the 'pseudo-passive' (e.g., SCHACHTER & RUTHERFORD 1979; RUTHERFORD 1983; YIP 1995; HAN 2000 ...

Lingua, 1989
Abstract The Unaccusative Hypothesis states that intransitive predicates are of two types: unaccusatives and unergatives . As formulated originally within the framework of Relational Grammar, the argument of an unergative predicate is at the deepest syntactic level a subject while that of an unaccusative predicate is direct object.

Abstract This chapter examines theticity in intransitive sentences. Starting with the assumption that the function of a thetic sentence is to introduce a referent into a discourse (without predicating anything of it), two requirements are proposed to ...

A proposal is developed to account for the peculiar properties of the verb class of unaccusatives, most notably the so called "definiteness effect", in terms of Case theory and the theory of inherent partitive Case.

Georgian and the Unaccusative Hypothesis
Language, 1982It has been observed that many languages exhibit a semantic, syntactic, or morphological correlation between the direct objects of transitive verbs and the surface subjects of certain inactive intransitives. The Unaccusative Hypothesis (UH) proposes, within the framework of Relational Grammar, that final subjects of this type are initial direct objects.
