“…), showing that -tos participles can also be derived from verbs. In Basque, we find similar situations, with adjectival participles like inguratua 'surrounded' and osatua 'formed', which may not imply an event (Kratzer 2000) but which show morphological signs of being built on verbs (-a ending roots in the verbs ingura-tu 'to surround', osa-tu 'to form', see Berro 2019). In any case, this is not relevant for the analysis of the present paper, so I am not going deeper into this issue.…”

“…they do not agree in number with the subject and cannot appear in attributive position). In fact, in previous literature, they have been considered adverbial(Rebuschi 1984) or adpositional(Artiagoitia 1995;Berro 2019) rather than adjectival. In this paper, I will focus on adjectival participles and leave -ta and -rik participles aside, but the interested reader can consult the works mentioned.3 In this paper, examples and judgments from Standard Basque have been considered, particularly from the Standard Basque used by southern speakers.…”

In this paper, I analyze the form and meaning of adjectival participles in Basque, an ergative language with a predominant use of analytic verbal forms. I show that even though adjectival participles have similar morphological makeup, they can be the exponents of different aspectual configurations, with different interpretation and syntactic distribution. As attested for other languages such as English and Greek, Basque adjectival participles can be interpreted as stative or resultative (Embick 2004), and also as target state participles or resultant state participles (Kratzer 2000; Anagnostopoulou 2003). As noted in the literature (Anagnostopoulou 2003; Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou 2008; Alexiadou et al. 2014; Alexiadou et al. 2015), these types are subject to different syntactic distribution, particularly regarding the acceptability of different sorts of event-related and subject-oriented modifiers. In this paper, I propose that a further aspectual class must be included into the typology of adjectival participles: experientials. In fact, adjectival participles in Basque can be interpreted experientially under certain conditions. The five-way typology of participles emerges as the result of the combination of two different aspectual heads (a stativizing Asp head, as in Kratzer 2000 and Embick 2004, and an aspectual operator with anteriority semantics, as in Kratzer 2000; Alexiadou et al. 2014; Alexiadou et al. 2015) with complements of different sizes and nature. In particular, the experiential reading arises when the Asp head of anteriority combines with particular vP semantics and/or with a particular linking relation between the subject of predication and the arguments within VOICEP.

Passives of Spanish Subject-Experiencer Psychological Verbs are Adjectival Passives

This paper argues that <ser ‘to be’ + past participle> constructions with subject-experiencer psychological verbs are adjectival passives, contra the received view that <ser + past participle> constructions are verbal passives across the board. We put forth a battery of morphological, syntactic and semantic tests to support our claim. The divide, we argue, is based on the individual-level/stage-level distinction, rather than on the lexical category of the participle. We provide a theoretical, aspect-based account that generates the distribution of ser and estar in verbal and adjectival participles and paves the way for a comprehensive analysis of the ser and estar distribution across other constructions where the alternation is attested, such as underived adjectives and prepositions.
