Secondary Resultative Predicates in Italian.

Napoli, Donna Jo

Journal of Linguistics, v28 n1 p53-90 Mar 1992

Secondary resultatives exist in Italian and English, where both languages exhibit freedom with PP resultatives but semantic restrictions with AP resultatives (strongly in Italian and weakly in English). This contrast between freedom and restrictions is mirrored in the fact that AP arguments in postobject position as sisters to V are marked in both English and Italian. (70 references) (VWL)
