Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

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. This cross-classification is explained once the syntactic and semantic aspects of unaccusativity are isolated.
