We purpose to make clear what position a resultative occupies at syntactic level.
For this purpose, we have surveyed various properties of resultatives mentioned
up to now. We have concluded that a resultative is an argument and not an
adjunct. Assuming VP-shell structure, we propose to treat it the same with
datives, particles, and so on. We support our proposal by explaining why re- like
elements are not compatible with each other As a result, this proposal contribute
to simplify the grammar by eliminating ACH.
