| Omschrijving: | The main theories about the decomposition of lexical verbs in semantics or syntax differentiate at least a change component and a causative component controlled by the subject. If both components are autonomous, it is expected that there are intentional verbs without an outcome that function as lexical verbs –not as auxiliaries–. This article argues that, indeed, there exists a well-defined class of non-auxiliary verbs that lack an outcome but semantically entail that an agent acts with the intention of achieving it. This work describes their properties in detail and discusses their theoretical implications for the notion of the 'causative component'. |
