Syntax of Deverbal Compound Adjectives in English

Auteur: Wasak, Sebastian
Editeur: Peter Lang AG
The study shows that adjectival synthetic compounds in English come in two categories. Eventive compounds behave in a way pointing to the presence of the verbal structure in their syntactic representation. On the other hand, stative compounds are shown to behave in a manner typical of simple adjectives; they are derived directly from the root.
