Inversion and Adverbial Complements

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There are many kinds of intransitive verbs in inverted PP construction:
unaccusative verbs, unergative verbs, copular verbs, etc. of which only
unaccusative verbs have been analyzed under Unaccusative Hypothesis
without any stipulations. Though some linguists claim that the accusative
analysis is eminent in generalizing inverted PP constructions, they have
some difficulty describing the inverted PP constructions with unergative
verbs under the unaccusative hypothesis. So we claim that there is no
constraint on the verb selection in inverted PP constructions. So satisfied
with presence of Top Phrase and VDP, the subjects of accusative
constructions stay in VP-internal position and those of unergative
constructions stay in [spec, IP], commonly with preposing the inverted PP
to [spec, TopP]. This inverted PP construction is proposed to be only one
of many inversion types that take place in intransitive constructions
