Abstract

This study deals with the adjectival resultative construction interpreted

as X1 CAUSE [Y2 BECOME Z3]. In Spanish, it is impossible to construct this

construction with adjectival secondary predicate unlike other languages,

especially English. The resultatives are secondary predicates indicating the

result of action described by the primary predicate. Contrary to the depictives,

the resultative predicate maintains lexically a close relationship with the main

verb. Therefore, through the structural approach of adjunct predication we dont

have access to all the information contained in the resultative construction.

Thats why its necessary to assume the lexical-syntactic derivation and to

argue that the lexicon and the syntax are related directly. Based on lexical

property of verbs, I argue the lexicalization of motion event across different

kinds of languages discussed in Talmy(1985; 2000) and Talmys typological

distinction between verb-framed and satellite-framed languages for verb roots

with respect to the expression of motion events. Following Talmy(1985; 2000)

and Tenny(2000), I propose that the verb-framed languages, such as Spanish,

express core predicate on the verb. And I claim that the resultative secondary

predicates of pseudo-resultative construction modify and emphasize the path

element conflated on the verb.
