Syntax and Semantics of Experiencers: Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Psycholinguistics; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

A large array of phenomena around verbal syntax is argued to be sensitive to
thematic role distinctions. In particular, experiencer-objects have been shown
to display non-canonical object properties (or even subject properties)
concerning word order, binding and scopal relations, clitic doubling, etc. A
straightforward account of these phenomena is to trace them back to the
special status of experiencers in the hierarchical clause structure. At the
same time, experiencers are very likely discourse topics and a subset of their
particular properties (e.g., the experiencer-first generalization in
linearization) may be accounted for through a purely pragmatic account.
