Tunnekausatiivilauseen argumenttirakenne II

Abstract

Suomen tunnekausatiivilause muodostuu tunnetta ilmaisevasta verbistä, johon liittyy tyypillisesti partitiivimuotoinen kokija, aiheuttaja tai kumpikin. Aiheuttaja voi olla paitsi nominatiivimuotoinen NP myös lausemainen, kuten ­A-infinitiivi, kun-lause, että-lause tai alisteinen kysymyslause. Tämän artikkelin tavoitteena on osoittaa generatiivisen syntaksin työkaluja käyttäen, että A-infinitiivi ja että-lause sijoittuvat tunnekausatiivi­lauseen argumenttirakenteessa komplementti­positioon, kun taas aiheut­tajana toimiva kun-lause voi sijoittua joko adjunkti- tai komplementti­positioon. Lisäksi artikkelissa esitetään Suomi24-korpusaineiston perusteella, että tunne­kausatiivien luokittelu tunne- ja tuntemusverbeihin korreloi lausemaisen aiheuttaja-argumentin yleisyyden kanssa.
 Artikkeli on toinen osa kahden artikkelin sarjasta. Ensimmäisessä osassa esitettiin, että aiheuttajana toimiva NP asettuu rakenteessa tyypillisesti ylemmäs kuin kokija. Koska lausemainen aiheuttaja asettuu välttämättä komplementtiin ja alemmas kuin kokija, tunnekausatiivilauseen argumenttirakenne näyttää siis vaihtelevan ainakin aiheuttaja-­argumentin tyypin mukaan.
 
 The argument structure of the Finnish experiencer construction II: An embedded clause as a causer argument
 This paper investigates the Finnish experiencer construction, which involves a psychological predicate and two optional arguments: the nominative causer and the partitive experiencer. The causer argument can be clausal, such as the A infinitive, the kun clause, a finite clause headed by the complementizer että, or an embedded interrogative clause.
 Mua jännittää kertoa tämä sulle. (colloquial)
 I.par excite.caus.pres.3sg tell.inf this.nom you.to
 ‘I’m excited to tell you about this.’
 The aim of this paper is to show within the framework of generative syntax that the A infinitive and the finite complement clause occupy the complement position in the experiencer construction, while the kun clause may occupy either the adjunct or complement position. The syntactic analysis is complemented with a corpus analysis of a corpus taken from the Suomi24 online messaging site. The comprehensive Finnish grammar divides experiencer verbs into two classes: those that express emotion and those that express sensation. The corpus analysis shows that verb type correlates with the frequency of a clausal causer.
 This article is the second in a series of two. The first article investigated constructions in which the causer argument was an NP. It demonstrated that the causer NP -occupies a higher position in the argument structure than the experiencer NP. In this -article, the author argues that a clausal causer occupies a lower position than the experiencer. This means that the experiencer construction has alternating argument structures for different types of causers.

STRUCTURAL CASE ASSIGNMENT, THEMATIC ROLES AND INFORMATION STRUCTURE*

“…The causative morpheme has + arg and ‐ val checking the partitive. The calculated output agrees with the style of analysis proposed by Huhmarniemi (2019b, 2019c) and Pylkkänen (2002). This construction was also tested with ungrammatical case configurations (#139–143).…”

Arctic craftivism and revitalisation of crafting

“…The title of the exhibition Fringe refers to the outer edge, or the margin. The curators of the exhibition stated that when something is regarded as peripheral, marginal, or extreme, it often must be respected and protected (Huhmarniemi et al, 2019). The curators selected artists and artworks that blend arts and crafts and implement dialogical themes and methods from various perspectives with handmade techniques.…”

“…The curators selected artists and artworks that blend arts and crafts and implement dialogical themes and methods from various perspectives with handmade techniques. They stated aims to increase appreciation and understanding of the diverse use of handicrafts in reflecting the North and in fostering revitalisation (Huhmarniemi et al, 2019). The Fringe exhibition presented a number of works by artists from Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, and the United States.…”
