Event heads and the Distribution of Psych-roots

Abstract

I will argue that a predicate containing an Experiencer and a T/SM argument must contain an event head.A causative added to such a predicate will be category-external, allowing only default causative morphology to be used (in English and Japanese).Along with the ill-formed (a) examples in (4) and ( 5), then, we have the well-formed (b) examples.(4) a.*The article in The Times angered Mary at the government.b.The article in The Times made Mary angry at the government.(5) a. * The distant rumbling frightened Bill of another tornado.b.The distant rumbling made Bill fear another tornado.
