Psych Predicates in Romance Languages
View through CrossRef
This volume collects a broad selection of research perspectives on psych predicates in Romance languages. The individual chapters present studies on different languages – Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, and Latin, among others – as well as sub-phenomena – the psych alternation, dative-experiencer verbs, psych nouns, and light verb constructions. Different methodologies and theoretical approaches complement each other and benefit from discussions across framework boundaries. For instance, there are different opinions across the chapters on how to classify the pronominal constructions of object-experiencer verbs: are they anticausatives, autocausatives, antipassives? The volume also highlights the value of an interaction between theoretical and data-driven approaches, as empirical chapters in the volume show that data sometimes contradict the assumptions made on theoretical grounds. Finally, the cross-linguistic studies in some contributions complement findings on individual languages in the other chapters.

This volume collects a broad selection of research perspectives on psych predicates in Romance languages.
The individual chapters present studies on different languages – Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, and Latin, among others – as well as sub-phenomena – the psych alternation, dative-experiencer verbs, psych nouns, and light verb constructions.
Different methodologies and theoretical approaches complement each other and benefit from discussions across framework boundaries.
For instance, there are different opinions across the chapters on how to classify the pronominal constructions of object-experiencer verbs: are they anticausatives, autocausatives, antipassives? The volume also highlights the value of an interaction between theoretical and data-driven approaches, as empirical chapters in the volume show that data sometimes contradict the assumptions made on theoretical grounds.
