In the first part, the suppletive nature of the preterite paradigm of the V2s licensing this construction is discussed. These V2s all feature perfective roots (i.e. PYTA roots; Maiden 2018b), such as <i>fici</i> ‘I made/did’ and <i>dissi</i> ‘I said’, which are the ones allowed in the construction, and imperfective roots, such as <i>facisti</i> ‘you (sg.) made/did’ and <i>dicisti</i> ‘you (sg.) said’. In the second part, new data from a grammaticality judgment-based study on Pseudo-Coordination in Deliano are discussed, with reference to the emergence of the W-Pattern in a specific paradigm. The results clearly show that this morphome is consistently present throughout the sample (11–80 y.o. participants, <i>N</i> = 140) and has a “psychological reality” (cf. Maiden 2018b: 1–10), in the sense that it does not seem to be affected by variables such as age or gender, or to be subject to ordering effects. 10 01 JB code la.274.05cru 129 148 20 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 5.

I show that the special meaning and function of this structure is best accounted for by postulating that in this construction the verb <i>go</i> is now a functional verb associated with a mirative conventional implicature. In this use, the construction is grammatically in the present tense, but is used within a narrative context to foreground an unexpected or surprising event that happened in the past. To account for the present-tense morphology, I propose that the conversational backgrounds – and in particular the ordering source defining the set of expectations of the conversation participants – can be indexed to the present time. I finally explore the hypothesis that the mirative use of this construction can shed light on the development of the Catalan <i>go</i>-past. 10 01 JB code la.274.06ble 149 166 18 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 6.

The structure behaves differently from both coordination structures and other pseudocoordination structures with respect to the tests proposed by de Vos (2005) and Ross (2013) (e.g. the Coordinate Structure Constraint, coordinator substitution, semantic bleaching, VP-deletion, etc.), as shown by an exploratory acceptability judgment task with 52 native speakers of Romanian testing for 16 structural properties. The results suggest that the existing classification of pseudocoordination structures should be revisited in order to accommodate Romanian ‘take’ as an additional type. 10 01 JB code la.274.p2 170 242 73 Section header 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section 2.

Focusing on V1<i>-take (and)</i> pseudo-coordination, we suggest that, in both of them, V1<i>-take (and)</i> belongs to the expressive realm of language and we analyze V1<i>-take (and)</i> as an appositive element adjoined to vP in the extended projection of V2. In addition to the meaning of the structure, evidence for the expressive nature of V1<i>-take (and)</i> comes from the fact that it can be ignored for ellipsis purposes in contexts such as verb-echo answers, polarity contrast, verb-doubling and VP-topicalization. Evidence for the positioning of V1<i>-take (and)</i> at the vP edge is provided by distributional patterns, including the placement of adverbs and sentential negation with respect to V1<i>-take (and)</i> and V2. We propose that two minimally different structures are available for pseudo-coordination, depending on whether a coordinator accompanies V1. 10 01 JB code la.274.08sko 191 212 22 Chapter 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 8. Pseudo-coordination of the verb <i>jít</i> (‘go’) in contemporary Czech</TitleText> 1 A01 Svatava Škodová Škodová, Svatava Svatava Škodová Institute of Czech Studies, 20 Aktionsart 20 coordination 20 Czech 20 event structure 20 pseudo-coordination 20 serial verbs 20 verb jít (‘go’) 01 This chapter investigates the use of the verb <i>jít</i> (‘go’) in two construction types in the Czech language; they have in common a binary coordinative structure where the verb <i>jít</i> is coordinated with any other verb with the coordinator <i>a</i> (‘and’). These constructions are prototypical coordination (ProCo) and pseudo-coordination (PseCo). The main claim is that even though these two types share the same surface structure <i>jít</i>-<i>a-</i>V2, they represent distinct phenomena. <br />The resolution criteria are based on a two-part analysis. First, PseCo is analysed as a complex predicate. This analysis immediately accounts for a number of properties of PseCo compared to ProCo. Second, the formal features of the construction are linked to its semantic structure: PseCo expresses aktionsart via coordination over sub-stages of events. <br />I argue that ProCo is a biclausal structure coordinating two separate events, while PseCo coordinates two verbs into one complex predicate and the coordinator <i>a</i> (‘and’) serves for a coordination of sub-stages of this combined event. It appears that the first verb expresses the preparatory phase for the activity denoted by the second verb. The pseudo-coordinative verb in the first conjunct lexicalises a manner component in the internal event structure. The verb ‘go’ is desemanticized and instead of the meaning of physical motion expresses dynamic aspects of the second event. <br />This research is based on 1611 examples from the Czech National Corpus, subcorpus SYN2005, from which 923 examples are analysed as ProCo and 668 as PseCo. 10 01 JB code la.274.09ble 213 230 18 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 9.

It is claimed that an interpretation in terms of item-based analogy and entrenchment of frequent meaning clusters is the most plausible analysis for the development of subjective (and pejorative) meaning associated with <i>gå och</i> V. The study of <i>sitta och</i> V is preliminary, but the results indicate that the subjective meaning of this construction is less entrenched that that of the <i>gå och</i> V construction and that the subjective overtone of subjectivity may be a result of the combination of the social/cultural meaning of the posture and certain intrinsically pejorative verbs, together with certain locatives. 10 01 JB code la.274.10edz 231 242 12 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 10.

As the distinction between coordinated (paratactic) and subordinated (hypotactic) structures is often blurred in this context, this paper additionally refers to the concept of “para-hypotaxis”. As will be shown, this choice of terminology, further elaborating on a basic model proposed by Yuasa and Sadock (2002: 91), is useful to describe an analyze a number of phenomena in the domain of complex predicates, in both ancient and modern Semitic languages. 10 01 JB code la.274.p3 246 335 90 Section header 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section 3.

Though both can form a pseudo-coordination expression, one is two-way ambiguous in aspectual interpretation, and the other is not. Moreover, dialectal variation is observed. This paper attempts to explain the difference between the two interpretations of Japanese pseudo-coordination and assigns a different structure to each interpretation. More specifically, in one interpretation, existential verbs are truly existential verbs of a lexical category, and in the other interpretation, they are functional categories. Based on this analysis, dialectal variation is also explained based on the notion of externalization. 10 01 JB code la.274.12tat 271 286 16 Chapter 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 12.

The choice between the two is determined in certain cases by syntactic phenomena, suggesting that agreement must figure in syntax. However, partial possessor agreement appears to result from a relationship between the possessee or nominalized predicate, and the last conjunct only, hinting that it is also subject to linear locality conditions. We conclude that the agreement phenomenon in languages results from conditions that apply in syntax proper and from conditions that apply in a post-syntactic component separately, which can alter the output of syntax proper where applicable. 10 01 JB code la.274.13mit 287 314 28 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 13.

This chapter is an attempt to fill that gap, zooming in on the ‘go-(and-)get’-type. To do so, I first provide a syntactic account of PseCo, which derives from a standard coordination structure (which I label Junction), onto and from which a compositional semantic account is derived. The signature pragmatic properties of PseCo of negative-emotive factivity are also derived. Aside from providing the first systematic and cross-modular analysis of PseCo, the chapter also provides a number of new diagnostics for identifying and classifying PseCo expressions which may be useful in future work on the topic. 10 01 JB code la.274.14ros 315 336 22 Chapter 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 14.

This paper establishes the typological context to explain key properties of pseudocoordination, integrated into a more general typology of multi-verb constructions. At the same time, principled motivations are given for the arbitrary list of traditional properties attributed to Serial Verb Constructions (SVCs). The broader category of Multi-Verb Predicates (MVPs) is proposed as any monoclausal multi-verb construction with two verbs forming a complex predicate. Subtypes of MVPs are distinguished by their form: pseudocoordination with a linker ‘and’, while SVCs have no linker. Structural properties of MVPs, such as shared inflectional features on each verb, are readily explained as due to monoclausality. 10 01 JB code la.274.si 339 342 4 Miscellaneous 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code la.274.li 337 338 2 Miscellaneous 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Language index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20220316 2022 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027210883 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 99.00 EUR R 01 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 463028224 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code LA 274 Hb 15 9789027210883 13 2021055829 BB 01 LA 02 0166-0829 Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today 274 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Pseudo-Coordination and Multiple Agreement Constructions</TitleText> 01 la.274 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/la.274 1 B01 Giuliana Giusti Giusti, Giuliana Giuliana Giusti Ca’ Foscari University of Venice 2 B01 Vincenzo Nicolò Di Caro Di Caro, Vincenzo Nicolò Vincenzo Nicolò Di Caro Ca’ Foscari University of Venice 3 B01 Daniel Ross Ross, Daniel Daniel Ross University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign & University of California, Riverside 01 eng 350 vii 342 LAN009060 v.2006 CFK 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.GENER Generative linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 06 01 Verbal Pseudo-Coordination (as in English ‘go and get’) has been described for a number of individual languages, but this is the first edited volume to emphasize this topic from a comparative perspective, and in connection to Multiple Agreement Constructions more generally.

In the first part, the suppletive nature of the preterite paradigm of the V2s licensing this construction is discussed. These V2s all feature perfective roots (i.e. PYTA roots; Maiden 2018b), such as <i>fici</i> ‘I made/did’ and <i>dissi</i> ‘I said’, which are the ones allowed in the construction, and imperfective roots, such as <i>facisti</i> ‘you (sg.) made/did’ and <i>dicisti</i> ‘you (sg.) said’. In the second part, new data from a grammaticality judgment-based study on Pseudo-Coordination in Deliano are discussed, with reference to the emergence of the W-Pattern in a specific paradigm. The results clearly show that this morphome is consistently present throughout the sample (11–80 y.o. participants, <i>N</i> = 140) and has a “psychological reality” (cf. Maiden 2018b: 1–10), in the sense that it does not seem to be affected by variables such as age or gender, or to be subject to ordering effects. 10 01 JB code la.274.05cru 129 148 20 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 5.

I show that the special meaning and function of this structure is best accounted for by postulating that in this construction the verb <i>go</i> is now a functional verb associated with a mirative conventional implicature. In this use, the construction is grammatically in the present tense, but is used within a narrative context to foreground an unexpected or surprising event that happened in the past. To account for the present-tense morphology, I propose that the conversational backgrounds – and in particular the ordering source defining the set of expectations of the conversation participants – can be indexed to the present time. I finally explore the hypothesis that the mirative use of this construction can shed light on the development of the Catalan <i>go</i>-past. 10 01 JB code la.274.06ble 149 166 18 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 6.

The structure behaves differently from both coordination structures and other pseudocoordination structures with respect to the tests proposed by de Vos (2005) and Ross (2013) (e.g. the Coordinate Structure Constraint, coordinator substitution, semantic bleaching, VP-deletion, etc.), as shown by an exploratory acceptability judgment task with 52 native speakers of Romanian testing for 16 structural properties. The results suggest that the existing classification of pseudocoordination structures should be revisited in order to accommodate Romanian ‘take’ as an additional type. 10 01 JB code la.274.p2 170 242 73 Section header 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section 2.

Focusing on V1<i>-take (and)</i> pseudo-coordination, we suggest that, in both of them, V1<i>-take (and)</i> belongs to the expressive realm of language and we analyze V1<i>-take (and)</i> as an appositive element adjoined to vP in the extended projection of V2. In addition to the meaning of the structure, evidence for the expressive nature of V1<i>-take (and)</i> comes from the fact that it can be ignored for ellipsis purposes in contexts such as verb-echo answers, polarity contrast, verb-doubling and VP-topicalization. Evidence for the positioning of V1<i>-take (and)</i> at the vP edge is provided by distributional patterns, including the placement of adverbs and sentential negation with respect to V1<i>-take (and)</i> and V2. We propose that two minimally different structures are available for pseudo-coordination, depending on whether a coordinator accompanies V1. 10 01 JB code la.274.08sko 191 212 22 Chapter 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 8. Pseudo-coordination of the verb <i>jít</i> (‘go’) in contemporary Czech</TitleText> 1 A01 Svatava Škodová Škodová, Svatava Svatava Škodová Institute of Czech Studies, 20 Aktionsart 20 coordination 20 Czech 20 event structure 20 pseudo-coordination 20 serial verbs 20 verb jít (‘go’) 01 This chapter investigates the use of the verb <i>jít</i> (‘go’) in two construction types in the Czech language; they have in common a binary coordinative structure where the verb <i>jít</i> is coordinated with any other verb with the coordinator <i>a</i> (‘and’). These constructions are prototypical coordination (ProCo) and pseudo-coordination (PseCo). The main claim is that even though these two types share the same surface structure <i>jít</i>-<i>a-</i>V2, they represent distinct phenomena. <br />The resolution criteria are based on a two-part analysis. First, PseCo is analysed as a complex predicate. This analysis immediately accounts for a number of properties of PseCo compared to ProCo. Second, the formal features of the construction are linked to its semantic structure: PseCo expresses aktionsart via coordination over sub-stages of events. <br />I argue that ProCo is a biclausal structure coordinating two separate events, while PseCo coordinates two verbs into one complex predicate and the coordinator <i>a</i> (‘and’) serves for a coordination of sub-stages of this combined event. It appears that the first verb expresses the preparatory phase for the activity denoted by the second verb. The pseudo-coordinative verb in the first conjunct lexicalises a manner component in the internal event structure. The verb ‘go’ is desemanticized and instead of the meaning of physical motion expresses dynamic aspects of the second event. <br />This research is based on 1611 examples from the Czech National Corpus, subcorpus SYN2005, from which 923 examples are analysed as ProCo and 668 as PseCo. 10 01 JB code la.274.09ble 213 230 18 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 9.

It is claimed that an interpretation in terms of item-based analogy and entrenchment of frequent meaning clusters is the most plausible analysis for the development of subjective (and pejorative) meaning associated with <i>gå och</i> V. The study of <i>sitta och</i> V is preliminary, but the results indicate that the subjective meaning of this construction is less entrenched that that of the <i>gå och</i> V construction and that the subjective overtone of subjectivity may be a result of the combination of the social/cultural meaning of the posture and certain intrinsically pejorative verbs, together with certain locatives. 10 01 JB code la.274.10edz 231 242 12 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 10.

As the distinction between coordinated (paratactic) and subordinated (hypotactic) structures is often blurred in this context, this paper additionally refers to the concept of “para-hypotaxis”. As will be shown, this choice of terminology, further elaborating on a basic model proposed by Yuasa and Sadock (2002: 91), is useful to describe an analyze a number of phenomena in the domain of complex predicates, in both ancient and modern Semitic languages. 10 01 JB code la.274.p3 246 335 90 Section header 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section 3.

Ambiguities in Japanese pseudo-coordination and its dialectal variation</TitleText> 1 A01 Masaharu Shimada Shimada, Masaharu Masaharu Shimada University of Tsukuba 2 A01 Akiko Nagano Nagano, Akiko Akiko Nagano University of Shizuoka 20 aspect 20 dialectal variation 20 existential verbs 20 externalization 20 Japanese 20 morphology 20 suppletion 20 syntax 20 voice 01 This paper addresses Japanese pseudo-coordination containing an existential verb by focusing on the two types of existential verbs, one taking an animate subject and the other taking an inanimate subject. Though both can form a pseudo-coordination expression, one is two-way ambiguous in aspectual interpretation, and the other is not. Moreover, dialectal variation is observed. This paper attempts to explain the difference between the two interpretations of Japanese pseudo-coordination and assigns a different structure to each interpretation. More specifically, in one interpretation, existential verbs are truly existential verbs of a lexical category, and in the other interpretation, they are functional categories. Based on this analysis, dialectal variation is also explained based on the notion of externalization. 10 01 JB code la.274.12tat 271 286 16 Chapter 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 12.

The choice between the two is determined in certain cases by syntactic phenomena, suggesting that agreement must figure in syntax. However, partial possessor agreement appears to result from a relationship between the possessee or nominalized predicate, and the last conjunct only, hinting that it is also subject to linear locality conditions. We conclude that the agreement phenomenon in languages results from conditions that apply in syntax proper and from conditions that apply in a post-syntactic component separately, which can alter the output of syntax proper where applicable. 10 01 JB code la.274.13mit 287 314 28 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 13.

This chapter is an attempt to fill that gap, zooming in on the ‘go-(and-)get’-type. To do so, I first provide a syntactic account of PseCo, which derives from a standard coordination structure (which I label Junction), onto and from which a compositional semantic account is derived. The signature pragmatic properties of PseCo of negative-emotive factivity are also derived. Aside from providing the first systematic and cross-modular analysis of PseCo, the chapter also provides a number of new diagnostics for identifying and classifying PseCo expressions which may be useful in future work on the topic. 10 01 JB code la.274.14ros 315 336 22 Chapter 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 14. Pseudocoordination and Serial Verb Constructions as Multi-Verb Predicates</TitleText> 1 A01 Daniel Ross Ross, Daniel Daniel Ross University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign/University of California 20 complex predicates 20 converbs 20 multi-verb predicates 20 pseudocoordination 20 serial verb constructions 20 typology 01 Verbal pseudocoordination (as in English <i>go and get</i>) is often seen as an idiosyncratic phenomenon described in exceptional terms. This paper establishes the typological context to explain key properties of pseudocoordination, integrated into a more general typology of multi-verb constructions. At the same time, principled motivations are given for the arbitrary list of traditional properties attributed to Serial Verb Constructions (SVCs). The broader category of Multi-Verb Predicates (MVPs) is proposed as any monoclausal multi-verb construction with two verbs forming a complex predicate. Subtypes of MVPs are distinguished by their form: pseudocoordination with a linker ‘and’, while SVCs have no linker. Structural properties of MVPs, such as shared inflectional features on each verb, are readily explained as due to monoclausality. 10 01 JB code la.274.si 339 342 4 Miscellaneous 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code la.274.li 337 338 2 Miscellaneous 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Language index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20220316 2022 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 08 755 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 76 10 01 02 JB 1 00 99.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 104.94 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 10 02 02 JB 1 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 11 10 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 149.00 USD
