On the subject-orientation of the dispositional middle construction
This article argues against the claim that the dispositional middle construction is always subject-oriented, by discussing dispositional constructions in Japanese and impersonal middle constructions formed with the causative verb lassen ‘let’ in German. In Japanese, the disposition is ascribed not to the nominative subject, but to an object. In German, nominative subjects are not required. This suggests that subject orientedness is not inherent b…
Three types of reflexive verbs in German
Some recent studies on reflexive constructions have claimed that the socalled weak reflexive always blocks the appearance of the external argument. According to this analysis, the subject of the reflexive predicates corresponds to the internal argument. I argue against this view and show that the subject of reflexive sentences in German corresponds to either the external or internal argument, as Reinhart and Siloni (Linguistic Inquiry 36: 389–436…
Ground Arguments in German Particle Verbs
I discuss the following three topics with respect to German particle verbs with a ground argument. First, I consider the difference between anlächeln and zulächeln ‘smile at’ in German. In the former the accusative argument represents a ground, whereas in the latter the dative argument is licensed by inalienable semantics. Second, I discuss why a ground can be expressed by a dative in the German verb zueilen ‘hurry toward’, whereas in the corresp…

Reflexives and resultatives
In resultative constructions formed with so-called unergative verbs, the distribution of the reflexive pronouns is different in English and German. In the cases of resultatives formed with verbs that include information about movement and resultant locational phrases, a reflexive pronoun need not occur in English, but it must be present in German. Furthermore, the range of unergative verbs occurring in this construction is different in these lang…
