Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The thematic focus of this proseminar is on the verbal domain - that is, the verb (and the VP), the functional projections associated with it, the projection of its arguments (subject, object and so on). Specifically, an important part of the course is intended to deal with the motivation for VP shells (Larson 1988), the special status of the external argument and the case for little v/vP and VoiceP (Chomsky 1995, Kratzer 1996, Harley 2013 a.o.), unaccusativity (Perlmutter 1978, Levin and Rappaport Hovav 1995 et seq.), the lexicalist versus non-lexicalist debate (Chomsky 1970, DiSciullo and Williams 1987, Marantz 1997), and what has since Ramchand (2008) been commonly referred to as 'first phase syntax'. Other issues that will be dealt with concern grammatical voice and voice alternations (such as active, passive, anti-passive), and the licensing of dative arguments and applicative syntax (Pylkkanen 2008, Schaefer 2008, Boneh and Nash 2012) in various languages and construction types (e.g. French: 'Je me fume une cigarette'; German: 'Dem Hans zerbrach die Vase', which is ambiguous between a benefactive/malefactive, possessor, and responsibility reading; and (varieties of) English: 'I love me some datives').
