Thesis (Ph.D.)--Rutgers The State University of New Jersey - New Brunswick, 1999.

This thesis examines the relation between aspect, argument structure, and case. The approach to the syntax-semantics interface developed in this thesis is based on the assumption that Dowty-style aspectual operators are zero affixes that can head syntactic projections and enter into semantic composition by the rules of compositional semantics.

520 $a This thesis examines the relation between aspect, argument structure, and case. The approach to the syntax-semantics interface developed in this thesis is based on the assumption that Dowty-style aspectual operators are zero affixes that can head syntactic projections and enter into semantic composition by the rules of compositional semantics.
520 $a The approach to argument projection argued for in this work follows Hoekstra and Mulder 1990 and Borer 1994 who proposed that arguments are not specified in the lexicon as being external or internal and there are no linking conventions concerning projection of arguments. Ile present analysis develops this approach by using tools of compositional semantics and selectional properties of aspectual affixes and verbs to filter out impossible structures. Evidence for this analysis includes (1) the relation between the syntactic position of the argument and semantic interpretation; (2) the existence of verbs of variable behavior with respect to argument projection; (3) the obligatoriness of internal arguments of telic verbs; and (4) different types of resultative constructions.
520 $a The second part of this thesis develops an Optimality Theoretic approach to case that assumes that distribution of cases is governed by violable principles that require verbal heads to check their nominal features. This approach, combined with the present analysis of argument structure, explains the differences between stative and active languages (Comrie 1981); distinguishes six case/agreement systems; and accounts for different types of splits, which include case/agreement splits, specificity-based, and modality-based splits.
520 $a The present approach to aspect, argument structure and case is further supported by different types of aspect-based case splits. For example, it is shown that the verbs that assign instrumental case in Russian differ aspectually and morphosyntactically from the verbs that assign accusative case. It is thus argued that instrumental case on the direct object is not unpredictable in Russian, contra to the standard assumption that instrumental case is lexical or idiosyncratic (Pesetsky 1982, Babby 1984, 1991, Neidle 1988). Further examples of semantic case splits discussed in this thesis include perfectivity-based splits in Finnish and Georgian, and agentivity-based splits in languages with fluid case-marking (Dixon 1979, 1994).
