Abstract:

Eat up the apple or Eat the apple up? Is there any difference in the
messages each of these alternative forms sends? If there isn't, why bother
to keep both? On the other hand, is there any semantic similarity between
eat the apple up and break the glass to pieces? This study takes a fresh
look at a still controversial issue of phrasal verbs and their alternate
word order applying sign-oriented theory and methodology. Unlike other
analyses, it asserts that there is a semantic distinction between the two
word order variants phrasal verbs may appear in. In order to test this
distinction, the author analyzes a large corpus of data and also uses
translation into a language having a clear morphological distinction
between resultative/non-resultative forms (Russian). As follows from the
analysis, English has morphological and syntactic tools to express
resultative meaning, which allows suggesting a new lexico-grammatical
category - resultativeness.
