This Problem Solved Itself
This paper is concerned with sentences like This problem solved itself , which are referred to as virtual reflexives. In the previous literature virtual reflexives are analyzed in terms of the “ease of the activity for the agent”: “The event was performed with such ease by the agent that it was as if no agentive involvement were necessary.” The aim of this paper is to examine whether this analysis is correct or not by using corpus data, and then …
The manner of cutting revisited
In the generative literature, whether manner/result complementarity is correct or not has been hotly debated. This paper aims to shed new light on the debate by approaching manner/result complementarity from a different angle: polysemy. Our focal example is cut . A detailed frame-semantic analysis of its polysemy reveals that the manner of cut is to be identified as something like ‘to move quickly in a straight line’. Accordingly, what counts as …
Another look at the interaction between verbs and constructions
Despite the wealth of literature on English resultatives, there still remain a number of issues that have not been squarely addressed. This paper addresses two of them through a case study of resultatives based on wipe . First, while the existence of resultatives with objects not selected by verbs is well-known in the literature (e.g., wipe the crumbs off the table/*wipe the crumbs ), few studies have addressed the issue of exactly which entities…

Going further and further astray
A door that swings noiselessly open may creak shut
This article advances a lexical-constructional analysis of sentences like The door swung open and The trap door fell shut (henceforth open/shut expressions). These open/shut expressions involve both motion and change of state, as described by the verb and the AP, respectively
Argument resultatives and adjunct resultatives in a lexical constructional account
Locative alternation and two levels of verb meaning
Verbs like load or spray are known to alternate between two variants ( John sprayed paint onto the wall / John sprayed the wall with paint ). Both Rappaport and Levin (1988) and Pinker (1989) derive one variant from the other, but these lexical rule approaches have a number of problems. This paper argues for a form-meaning correspondence model which distinguishes between two levels of verb meaning: that of a lexical head spray on the one hand and…
Does Manner count or not? Manner-of-motion verbs revisited
Pinker (1989) observes that particular manners of so-called manner-of-motion verbs like roll' or bounce' play no role in the mapping between syntax and semantics. This paper argues that while Pinker's claim seems to be valid for the sentences that he cites, it is rash to conclude that the particulars of the manner never count in form-meaning correspondences, in that the differences among manner-of-motion verbs as to syntactic expression of argume…
On the status of an implicit arguments in middles
Massam (1992), challenging the view that the presence of an implicit argument is essential to middles, argues that middles should be defined in terms of genericity and modality. This paper shows that Massam's hypothesis is factually untenable. Genericity and modality are only typical, not essential, properties of middles. Furthermore, middles in Massam's conception do not form a natural class with middles as normally understood. Rather, the prese…
