Reflexive verbs in Hebrew: Deep unaccusativity meets lexical semantics

Reflexive verbs in Modern Hebrew show specific morphological marking: only one of the seven verbal templates in the language can be used for reflexives. Yet this morphological marking also appears on anticausative verbs, which have different syntactic and semantic properties. I provide an analysis of reflexivity in Hebrew which does not make reference to dedicated reflexive morphosyntax. By combining independently needed functional heads, the proposal explains what in the syntax underlies this morphology and how different kinds of verbs end up with identical morphophonological properties. To this end, I consider the lexical semantics of individual lexical roots as well as the syntactic configurations in which roots and arguments are embedded. The resulting theory is one in which lexical roots trigger specific interpretations of the syntax at the interfaces.

“…This has prompted a debate where three positions have become apparent: some authors claim that the preverbal subject in Spanish is actually a (contrastive) topic, and is therefore in an A'-position (Contreras 1976, 1991, Ordóñez & Treviño 1999; for them, the subject position is either occupied by the verbal agreement, which is pronominal (Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou 1998) or the subject position is occupied by pro. The second position is that overt preverbal pronouns are indeed subjects, in an A-position (Goodall 1999, Suñer 2003.…”

“…First, Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou (1998) have argued that (existential) preverbal subjects in Spanish (and Greek) always take wide scope with respect to negation, modals and other quantifiers. According to them, the following sentence should mean that there was one particular actor that married all the actresses in the company, even though this is pragmatically odd.…”

“…Pedro said that bought a house who A third argument is that in French (where the subject is clearly in the A-position identified as spec, TP) and adverb can intervene between subject and verb (Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou 1998), but in Spanish this is possible. Thus, they contend, preverbal subjects must be higher than spec, TP in Spanish.…”

“…Camacho (2013), for this reason, provides a mixed account where preverbal subjects in Spanish do not occupy always the same position. He explicitly rejects the proposal that the role of subject is performed in Spanish by the agreement inflection of the verb (contra Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou 1998), and proposes that three options are possible:…”

ABSTRACT. This article presents the main facts about how information structure is syntactically codified in Spanish, with particular attention to the syntax of topics and foci. These facts will be used to assess whether cartographic and minimalist approaches can, in their pure version, account precisely for this set of facts in a predictive way. We discuss the taxonomy of topics and foci, the evidence for their syntactic position, their A'-movement properties, the asymmetries between left-and right-dislocated elements, and the availability of information structure inside subordinate clauses.Keywords. topic; focus; information structure; embedded contexts; dislocation; root clause RESUMEN. Este artículo presenta los principales datos acerca de la codificación sintáctica de la estructura informativa en español, con especial atención a la sintaxis de tópicos y focos. Estos hechos serán utilizados para evaluar si, en su forma más pura, las teorías cartográficas o minimistas pueden explicar estos hechos de una forma predictiva. El trabajo discute la taxonomía de tópicos y focos, qué datos hay para identificar su posición sintáctica, sus propiedades de movimiento A', las asimetrías entre elementos dislocados a izquierda y derecha, y la posibilidad de introducir estructura informativa marcada en el interior de las oraciones subordinadas.
