Abstract:
Talmy (1985) proposed that English and the Romance languages differ in that the latter generally express "path" in verb roots, whereas the former expresses "path" in satellite morphemes such as prepositions. In this talk, we present novel data from Romanian re- prefixation, arguing that it provides support for a structural difference between certain English and Romanian constructions with put and related verbs. This difference necessitates a syntactic approach to both re- prefixation and to Talmy's distinction between Romance and English "path" incorporation. We argue that in Romanian, like in English, re- scopes syntactically over the direct object DP and semantically selects a change of state.  The contrast is argued to be due to the existence in Romanian of a "path" component on causative little v. In English, the "path" component of put - constructions must be expressed with a small clause, making re- prefixation impossible (cf Marantz 2009).
