“…Example (39) is an instance of result-oriented modification. Example (40), an APass derived from a CoS verb, could tentatively be an instance of a pseudo-incorporated by-phrase à la Gehrke (2015), pending Hebrew speakers' judgments about the specificity and well-establishedness of that adjectival predicate, as well as further data. Example (41) for Hebrew, as well as (34) and (35) for German, are instances of APass derived from StC verbs, which are expected to allow by-phrases unrestrictedly.…”

“…(6)). I commit to this view, and I suggest in the next section that by-phrases and agentoriented modifiers in Spanish APass derived from CoS verbs are pseudoincorporated to the participle, following an original proposal for German by Gehrke (2015). 15 Upon closer inspection, however, example (6c) is not really a counterexample.…”

“…This analysis, however, is incompatible with the constructionist analysis proposed here, and highly undesirable given that it multiplies lexical entries. A second option is to assume, as in Gehrke (2015), that all verbs start out as an incorporating lexical entry, linking this to the process event being a kind, in Carlson's sense: if tense and aspect operators locate this event, then they instantiate it. It is not clear to me, however, how this account derives non-incorporating instances of verbs and, more importantly, the asymmetries between CoS and StC verbs to this respect.…”

“…Their difference with Greek-type APass is that they lack the Asp operator. Inspired by Gehrke's (2012Gehrke's ( ,2015 work, they claim that the absence of this Asp operator prevents the event from being spatio-temporally instantiated, bringing about the restrictions regarding agent-oriented modification (and event-related modification more generally). Their proposed structure is given in (47).…”

ABSTRACT. This paper investigates the patterns regarding the (un)availability of by-phrases and agent-oriented modification in adjectival passives in Spanish. Departing from the observation that adjectival participles derived from change-ofstate verbs ban agent-oriented modification but those derived from stative causative verbs allow it, I put forth a novel theoretical account that derives the restrictions solely from the Aktionsart of the underlying verbal predicate, syntactically modelled and independently motivated. I extend my proposal to German and Hebrew, which display a similar behavior, and propose a parametric account for languages like Greek that freely allow by-phrases and agent-oriented modification in adjectival passives regardless of the Aktionsart of the underlying verbal predicate.Keywords: Adjectival passives, agent-oriented modifiers, Aktionsart, by-phrases, external arguments.RESUMEN: Este artículo investiga la asimetría que presentan las pasivas adjetivales en español respecto a la posibilidad de aparecer con sintagmas-por y modificadores agentivos. Partiendo de la observación de que las pasivas adjetivales derivadas de verbos de cambio de estado prohíben generalmente la modificación agentiva, mientras que las derivadas de verbos estativo-causativos la permiten, presento una propuesta teórica que deriva dichas restricciones a partir del modo de acción del verbo base, modelado sintácticamente e independientemente motivado. Asimismo, extiendo mi propuesta a lenguas como el alemán y el hebreo, cuyas pasivas adjetivales muestran un comportamiento similar al de las del español. Por último, ofrezco un análisis paramétrico para dar cuenta de lenguas como el griego, que permite sintagmas-por y modificadores agentivos en sus pasivas adjetivales independientemente del modo de acción del verbo base.Palabras clave: argumentos externos, modificadores agentivos, modo de acción, pasivas adjetivales, sintagmas-por.

Root participles: directive, commissive, expressive and representative participles in Germanic root configurations

The present paper investigates participial root configurations, i.e. participial clauses that are grammatically independent of a host clause. Unlike previous work, which has focussed on either directive or (non-directive) performative uses of so-called past participles (i.e. participles that have passive and/or perfect(ive) interpretations), the present paper establishes a typology of ‘root participles’ in Germanic and contrasts the properties of four main types: (1) directive (RPdir), (2) expressive (RPexp), (3) commissive (RPcom), (4) representative root participles (RPrep). The main claim with respect to the properties of these distinct types is that they differ in terms of whether they include a verbal or an adjectival (passive) participle. In fact, arguments based on argument structure, orientation, aspect, and adverbial modification are presented to substantiate the claim that types (1) and (2) are formed with verbal and types (3) and (4) with adjectival participles. Additionally, the distinct types will be shown to differ in their status of either being non-sentential (i.e. structurally different from potential clausal counterparts) or merely elliptical (just phonologically reduced): types (1) and (3) can be shown to be non-sentential and hence receive a dedicated syntactic analysis, where special attention is paid to the contribution of the (imperative vs. declarative) left periphery.
