Spanish participial adjectives and individual-level/stage-level interpretations in nominals
Karen Zagona | University of Washington
Heles Contreras | University of Washington
This article addresses the well-known restriction on stage-level readings of pre-nominal predicative adjectives in Spanish. We argue that this restriction is due to a structural difference between ‘direct modifiers’ and ‘indirect modifiers’ as has been previously proposed in the literature (Demonte 1999; Cinque 2010). New evidence for such a distinction is introduced, based on the contrasting behavior of two classes of deverbal adjectives: se-inchoatives versus ‘perfective’ participial adjectives.
Keywords: predicative adjective, individual-level adjective, stage-level adjective, Aspect Phrase, copular sentence
