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.
