Abstract:

This book provides a detailed cross-linguistic study of pseudo-noun
incorporation, a phenomenon whereby an argument forms a 'closer than
usual' relation with the verb. Imke Driemel draws on data from Tamil,
Mongolian, Korean, Turkish, and German, and applies diagnostic tests
across eleven noun types in each of the languages under consideration.
What emerges is a coherent effect of pseudo-incorporated arguments
that maps loss of case marking to obligatory narrow scope, lack of
binding and control relations, and a potentially restricted movement
pattern. The book provides a unifying theory that is able to capture
all properties with a single assumption: pseudo-incorporation effects
result from noun phrases that are made up of a nominal and a verbal
category feature; implemented in a derivational framework, the nominal
feature is active early in the derivation, being responsible for
c-selection and nominal modification, while the verbal feature is
active late and crucially derives the effects we have come to
recognize as pseudo-noun incorporation. One important empirical
contribution of this study stems from the observation that
pseudo-incorporation does not have to be the only reason for optional
case marking. Tamil and Korean provide evidence that only a subset of
optionally case-marked noun types also show a correlation with scope,
binding, control, and movement constraints. This insight enforces the
conclusion that the same language can make use of both pseudo-noun
incorporation and differential object marking.
