Abstract:

This study addresses the encoding of predication in language, specifically the
structure of non-verbal predication in Hungarian and the combination of
non-verbal predicates with the verb in syntax. It provides evidence that
complex predicates are created in syntax. It is argued that Hungarian copular
clauses have a uniform base-generated structure, where the copula has a Small
Clause complement and the predicate of the SC forms a complex predicate with
the copula. Existential and locative sentences have the same underlying
structure, however, their surface word order is different and there is no
complex predicate formation. Predicative adpositional phrases (PPs) also form
complex predicates with verbs other than the copula. It is shown that
particles are part of the extended projection of PPs, which contain
projections for place and path denoting postpositions and a functional
projection for particles. Particle movement to the preverbal position is
therefore one of the instances of a predicative PP forming a complex predicate
with the verb. Resultative and depictive secondary predicates and predicative
complements of consider-type verbs are also claimed to involve a SC, with
depictives being different from the other two in that they are in the
structural focus position in Hungarian while the others undergo predicate
movement. Predicate movement is analyzed as a way of complex predicate
formation in overt syntax. Analyses previously suggested in the literature are
considered, which take predicate movement and complex predicate formation
either to be semantically motivated or to be a result of independently
motivated movement of an internal argument.
