Abstract

Abstract. Empirical evidence is presented in favour of the claim first made in Pesetsky (1989) that English lexical verbs move overtly, as can be argued given the order V‐Adverb‐PP. Extraction tests are used to show that the PP in the sequence at stake is not extraposed across the adverb, as claimed in Pollock (1994). It is shown that, in order to get a clear picture with respect to the placement of the verb, one has to use adverbs which can only be left‐adjoined to VP (e.g. well).
