In the first theory, defended by Marantz (2011), roots can only be adjuncts (modifiers), either of an abstract verbal head or of a DP merged as the object. In the second theory, defended by Acedo-Matellán (2010, 2011a), roots can occupy an adjunct position, but they can also be complements of an abstract verbal head or of an (abstract) preposition. Empirical and theoretical arguments are adduced to evaluate both proposals, which, however, share the same fundamental idea that (verbal) argument structure is a syntactic configuration. 01 01 JB code lfab.10.03ger 06 10.1075/lfab.10.03ger 45 60 16 Article 5 01 04 Determining argument structure in sign languages Determining argument structure in sign languages 1 A01 01 JB code 738214526 Carlo Geraci Geraci, Carlo Carlo Geraci CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/738214526 2 A01 01 JB code 932214527 Josep Quer Quer, Josep Josep Quer ICREA-Universitat Pompeu Fabra 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/932214527 01 eng 30 00 In this paper we offer an overview of existing analyses of argument structure that sets the stage for further inquiry into this domain. The particular structure of the lexicon in sign languages (SLs) is introduced, with special attention to the agreement patterns found in lexical predicates, as overt agreement marking in the set of verbs that can realize it offers a window into verb meaning and overt argument realization. Classifier predicates, on the other hand, have proven to be a very rich domain for research on argument structure: unaccusative/unergative and unaccusative/transitive alternations have been identified in American Sign Language (ASL) classifier constructions, and replicated in other SLs. As expected, the validity of valency tests is sometimes limited to one language, but the alternations are attested crosslinguistically and can be applied to lexical verbs as well. Specially interesting is the traditional divide between agreement marking in lexical predicates and spatial agreement marking in classifier constructions, often seen as having a different nature. Given the fact that the morphological exponence of agreement is superficially the same (i.e. the path or trajectory that the verbal sign crosses in signing space), the divide must be motivated on empirical arguments, which are not always compatible or consistent with a broad empirical coverage. We identify a number of areas where research should be carried out in order to advance our ounderstanding of argument structure in languages in the visual-gestural modality, in order to determine which of the observed properties is really modality-specific. 01 01 JB code lfab.10.04wit 06 10.1075/lfab.10.04wit 61 80 20 Article 6 01 04 The mental representation and processing of light verbs The mental representation and processing of light verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 219214528 Eva Wittenberg Wittenberg, Eva Eva Wittenberg Tufts University / Harvard University / Potsdam University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/219214528 2 A01 01 JB code 511214529 Ray Jackendoff Jackendoff, Ray Ray Jackendoff Tufts University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/511214529 3 A01 01 JB code 593214530 Gina Kuperberg Kuperberg, Gina Gina Kuperberg Tufts University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/593214530 4 A01 01 JB code 800214531 Martin Paczynski Paczynski, Martin Martin Paczynski Tufts University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/800214531 5 A01 01 JB code 64214532 Jesse Snedeker Snedeker, Jesse Jesse Snedeker Harvard University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/64214532 6 A01 01 JB code 151214533 Heike Wiese Wiese, Heike Heike Wiese Potsdam University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/151214533 01 eng 30 00 This article gives an overview of our ongoing research on the processing and representation of light verb constructions. Light verb constructions consist of a light verb, which is semantically bleached, and an event nominal, which identifies the kind of event. Together the noun and the verb determine the structure of that event (the number of participants and their roles). Critically, in light verb constructions the canonical mapping from surface syntactic structure to event structure is disrupted. The present studies examine this phenomenon through the lens of language processing. We summarize several behavioral and neurolinguistic studies that show that the interpretation of light verb constructions relies on noncanonical mappings between syntax and semantics, while their syntactic structure is not different from non-light constructions. 01 01 JB code lfab.10.s2 06 10.1075/lfab.10.s2 Section header 7 01 04 Part II.

However, surprisingly little is known about the neural processes underlying the comprehension of psych verb constructions. Here, we report an electrophysiological study on Italian piacere-class verbs, which were presented in sentences with subject-verb-object (SVO) and object-verb-subject (OVS) orders and contrasted with Agent-Theme (“active”) verbs. At the verb position, we observed a biphasic N400–late positivity pattern for active versus piacere-class verbs in object-initial orders and a late positivity for piacere-class versus active verbs in subject-initial orders. These results demonstrate that thematic expectations are generated incrementally and may be based upon only a single argument. They further support the idea of structural differences between piacere-class verbs and other verb classes in Italian and suggest that these are used rapidly to inform language processing. 01 01 JB code lfab.10.06ale 06 10.1075/lfab.10.06ale 119 137 19 Article 9 01 04 Causative nominalizations Causative nominalizations 01 04 Implications for the structure of psych verbs Implications for the structure of psych verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 438214537 Artemis Alexiadou Alexiadou, Artemis Artemis Alexiadou 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/438214537 2 A01 01 JB code 548214538 Gianina Iordachioaia Iordachioaia, Gianina Gianina Iordachioaia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/548214538 01 eng 30 00 We investigate so-called causative psych nominalizations (CPNs), i.e., nominalizations of object experiencer (OE) verbs that realize non-agentive causers as external arguments. While they are ruled out in English (Grimshaw 1990; Iwata 1995; Pesetsky 1995) and have been suggested to be cross-linguistically banned (Landau 2010), we show that Romanian and Greek derive CPNs from the subject experiencer (SE) form of alternating OE verbs. We analyze them as nominalizations of the anticausative SE form of these verbs. Our results suggest a structural difference between Romanian/Greek and English psych nominalizations: the former can nominalize either the SE anticausative or (the passive of) the OE transitive structure (Anagnostopoulou 1999), while the latter only nominalize the OE transitive form, as the verbs lack the anticausative structure. 01 01 JB code lfab.10.s3 06 10.1075/lfab.10.s3 Section header 10 01 04 Part III.

However, surprisingly little is known about the neural processes underlying the comprehension of psych verb constructions. Here, we report an electrophysiological study on Italian piacere-class verbs, which were presented in sentences with subject-verb-object (SVO) and object-verb-subject (OVS) orders and contrasted with Agent-Theme (“active”) verbs. At the verb position, we observed a biphasic N400–late positivity pattern for active versus piacere-class verbs in object-initial orders and a late positivity for piacere-class versus active verbs in subject-initial orders. These results demonstrate that thematic expectations are generated incrementally and may be based upon only a single argument. They further support the idea of structural differences between piacere-class verbs and other verb classes in Italian and suggest that these are used rapidly to inform language processing. 01 01 JB code lfab.10.06ale 06 10.1075/lfab.10.06ale 119 137 19 Article 9 01 04 Causative nominalizations Causative nominalizations 01 04 Implications for the structure of psych verbs Implications for the structure of psych verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 438214537 Artemis Alexiadou Alexiadou, Artemis Artemis Alexiadou 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/438214537 2 A01 01 JB code 548214538 Gianina Iordachioaia Iordachioaia, Gianina Gianina Iordachioaia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/548214538 01 eng 30 00 We investigate so-called causative psych nominalizations (CPNs), i.e., nominalizations of object experiencer (OE) verbs that realize non-agentive causers as external arguments. While they are ruled out in English (Grimshaw 1990; Iwata 1995; Pesetsky 1995) and have been suggested to be cross-linguistically banned (Landau 2010), we show that Romanian and Greek derive CPNs from the subject experiencer (SE) form of alternating OE verbs. We analyze them as nominalizations of the anticausative SE form of these verbs. Our results suggest a structural difference between Romanian/Greek and English psych nominalizations: the former can nominalize either the SE anticausative or (the passive of) the OE transitive structure (Anagnostopoulou 1999), while the latter only nominalize the OE transitive form, as the verbs lack the anticausative structure. 01 01 JB code lfab.10.s3 06 10.1075/lfab.10.s3 Section header 10 01 04 Part III.

By doing so we showcase the potential for innovative cross-disciplinary research. 03 00 While the argument structure of verbs has long been a central issue in linguistic research of all varieties and continues to be a vexed area of research across a wide range of theoretical and empirical approaches, the inter-disciplinary perspective and dialogue remain largely under explored. This collection stems from an interest to find and explore practical, tangible points of intersection between theoretical linguists, psycholinguists and neurolinguists working on problems related to the representation and processing of verbs and their associated thematic structure. The book is organized around three core themes, (i) the basic building blocks of verbal representations and modes of construction of the verb-argument complex, (ii) non-canonical argument structure realization, with a particular focus on object-experiencer psych verbs, and (iii) the promises and challenges of neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic investigation into argument structure and the prospects for the future of interdisciplinary research on verb argument structure. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/lfab.10.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027208279.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027208279.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/lfab.10.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/lfab.10.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/lfab.10.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/lfab.10.hb.png 01 01 JB code lfab.10.00ack 06 10.1075/lfab.10.00ack vii vii 1 Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Acknowledgments Acknowledgments 01 01 JB code lfab.10.01bac 06 10.1075/lfab.10.01bac 1 19 19 Article 2 01 04 Introduction Introduction 01 04 Argumenting the structure Argumenting the structure 1 A01 01 JB code 418214522 Asaf Bachrach Bachrach, Asaf Asaf Bachrach CNRS 2 A01 01 JB code 894214523 Isabelle Roy Roy, Isabelle Isabelle Roy CNRS / Université Paris 8 3 A01 01 JB code 60214524 Linnaea Stockall Stockall, Linnaea Linnaea Stockall Queen Mary University of London 01 01 JB code lfab.10.s1 06 10.1075/lfab.10.s1 Section header 3 01 04 Part I.
