Abstract:

The objective of this book is to develop a force-recipient account of English
resultatives. Within this approach the post-verbal NP is a recipient of a
verbal force, whether it is a subcategorized object or not, and the verbal
force being exerted onto the post-verbal NP is responsible for bringing about
the change as specified by the result phrase. It is shown that many apparent
puzzles posed by English resultatives are due to the complex interplay between
the verb meaning and the constructional meaning, or between the verb meaning
and the semantics of the result phrase. Thus the proposed account can provide
answers to the question “Which resultatives are possible and which are not?”
in a coherent way. Also, the proposed account reveals that English
resultatives are not a monolithic phenomenon, and that some “resultatives”
cited in the literature as such are not resultatives at all. This book is of
interest not only to practitioners of Construction Grammar but also to
everyone interested in English resultatives.
