The argument structure of adjectival participles revisited

Basque adjectival participles: Stative, resultative or experiential

“…In the same line as previous literature, I argue that stative, target state, resultant state and experiential adjectival participles are the result of different syntactic configurations. In particular, I claim that two different sorts of aspectual heads give rise to the five-way classification of participles: a stativizing Asp head (Kratzer 2000;Embick 2004), and an aspectual operator with anteriority semantics (Kratzer 2000;Alexiadou et al 2014;Alexiadou et al 2015). As for the experiential participle, this interpretation emerges when the Asp head of anteriority combines with a particular vP semantics and with a particular co-indexing relation between the subject of predication and the arguments within VoiceP.…”

“…As attested for other languages such as English and Greek, Basque adjectival participles can be interpreted as stative or resultative (Embick 2004), and also as target state participles or resultant state participles (Kratzer 2000). As noted in the literature (Anagnostopoulou 2003;Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou 2008;Alexiadou, Gehrke & Schäfer 2014;Alexiadou, Anagnostopoulou & Schäfer 2015), these types are subject to different syntactic distribution, particularly regarding the acceptability of different sorts of event-related and subjectoriented modifiers. In this paper, I propose that a further aspectual class must be included into the typology of adjectival participles: experientials.…”

“…In fact, as explained by Alexiadou et al (2014), Kratzer's (2000) target state participles are not necessarily stative. They can have event implications and therefore, they are argued to be built on top of vP (Anagnostopoulou 2003;Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou 2008;Alexiadou et al 2014;Alexiaodu et al 2015). Similarly, Kratzer's resultant state participles do not correspond to Embick's resultative participles, since target state participles can also be resultative.…”

D‐Licensing in Adjectival Passives

“…However, more recent developments have shown that verb phrases are substantially more internally complex than Wasow envisioned, and these developments have provided alternative avenues for exploring the behavior of participles. These avenues have lead to the current conventional wisdom that both types of participles are formed in the syntax (Kratzer , Anagnostopoulou , , Embick , Hallman , Bruening , Alexiadou, Gehrke and Schäfer , Alexiadou, Anagnostopoulou and Schäfer and others), as described in detail below.…”

“…Aber vgl. auch Alexiadou, Gehrke & Schäfer (2014), wo Argumente für die selektive Zugänglichkeit des externen Arguments im Zustandspassiv vorgebracht werden (auf der Grundlage u. a. von morphologischer Evidenz bei kontrollierten Adjektiven und von Fällen disjunkter Referenz). Schäfer (2012b), Alexiadou & Doron (2013) und Alexiadou, Anagnastopoulou & Schäfer (2015.…”
