    The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that expressions like hold - open (e.g. I held the door open), tape - shut (e.g. He taped the door shut), and lock - in the bathroom (e.g. Harry locked Joe in the bathroom), which look like resultatives, are actually not resultatives, and that these expressions can be accommodated as instances of 'state-maintaining' causatives in a theory building upon Talmy's (2000) force dynamics. Furthermore, the proposed analysis gives us an insight into how the expression keep - from (e.g. Harry kept Joe from moving out of the bathroom) is motivated. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

  • And mockery: a two-layer account

    When the utterance "I'm the President," which is seriously meant, is responded to with "And I'm the First Lady," the validity of that utterance is challenged with sarcasm. This type of and locution, referred to as and mockery, has been analyzed in terms of quotation of the illocutionary act (Haiman, 1998) or metarepresentation/echo (Noh, 2000), but both analyses are problematic. Rather, a two-layer account, which is built upon Clark's (1996) theory of non-serious linguistic acts, better accounts for why and mockery conveys what it does. The proposed account naturally extends to variations involving an echo question, an echo declarative, or an if conditional. Furthermore, the proposed account sheds new light on the debate between echoic theory and pretense theory, which have been two major theories of verbal irony. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

    BNCで頻度が高かった動詞のうち、find・pick・feelではforceにより障害物を取り除いているという分析が難しい。だがこれらのway構文も、やはり「外的困難にもかかわらず移動する」という特徴付けに合うと考えることができる。まずpick one’s wayの実例を調べてみると、As LeRoi picked his way through the debris and destruction of the demolished townのように、自分の足を置く場所を選びながら進む、という移動を表している。つまり、障害物を避けることで、進むことを可能にしている。次にfind one’s wayでは、Ari tried to find their way through the labyrinth of Roirbak’s complex to the canteenのように、自分の進むべき方向が分からず、道を探しながら進んでいる。「道が分からない」とは、外的困難の一種と考えることができるから、進むべき道を見つけることは、その困難を乗り越える行為になる。さらにfeel one’s wayでは、One night all the lights went off so we had to feel our way up to our roomsのように、暗くて先が見えない中を、手探りで進むことを表している。「前が見えない」とはやはり外的困難の一種であり、手探りをするのはその困難を乗り越えるための行為である。
    つまりfind・pick・feelのway構文では、やはり困難を乗り越えて前進する、という意味ではfight・push・forceのway構文と全く同じである。そのため結局は「可能化」タイプと認めることができる。

  • A lexical-constructional account of resultatives involving 'to victory'

    Grant amount:\2730000 ( Direct Cost: \2100000 、 Indirect Cost:\630000 )

    Unlike typical resultatives, resultatives with _to victory_ violate the Unique Path Constraint (Goldberg 1995) and the Direct Object Restriction (Levin & Rappaport Hovav 1995). Thus in _She rode the horse to victory_, _ride_ is a motion verb, and the result phrase is predicated of the subject, rather than the direct object.
    This is because with resultatives involving _to victory_, the change of state is not brought about by the verbal force being exerted onto the direct object entity, but by the metaphorical motion. Other result phrases which behave like _to victory_ are _to success_, _to safety_, and _to freedom_. These resultatives are instances of a different type of resultatives than have been recognized in the literature so far.

  • A lexical-constructional approach to "exceptional" way expressions in English

    There are way expressions that appear to be exceptional with respect to the following points: co-referential requirement between the subject and the possessive; self-propelled motion; and obligatory path PPs. It turns out that these apparently exceptional cases arise from a complex interplay of various factors, however. Accordingly, the following characteristics of way expressions need to be recognized: The verbal event and the motion event are related via “enablement” rather than “means”; the contribution of verb meaning is far greater; and way expressions are fundamentally the same as lexical manner-of-motion verbs like walk and roll.

    Contrary to Goldberg (1995), resultatives based on transitive verbs should be distinguished from those based on intransitive verbs, in that the post-verbal NP is necessarily a force-recipient in the former but not in the latter. Furthermore, resultatives

  • A lexical-constructional approach to the motion use of verbs of sound emission in English

    The motion use of verbs of sound emission (e.g.The trolley rumbled through the tunnel) turns out to have two types : motion-describing type and motion-induced type. The motion-describing type is essentially the same as manner-of-motion verbs like roll. By contrast, the motion-induced type behaves similarly to path-incorporating verbs like enter.
