1. Introduction: Phrasal verbs

Page 3: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(1) There has been a long debate concerning particle verbs in English

(Chomsky (1957), Bolinger (1971), Frasier (1974), among others).

3

Page 4: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(2) Syntactic structures

a. [V NP Prt] order is basic.  b. [V Prt NP] order is basic. c. It differs, depending on

the meaning4

Page 5: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(3) Historical development of away

a. It was onweg (on + way).b. It also became an adverb.c. It also became a P.d. Then, it also functions as a

particle.5

Page 6: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(4)a. Particle is an example of grammaticalization because it optionally take an argument or it never take any argument

(valency reduction). b. Also, particles lose an original

meaning (semantic bleaching).6

Page 7: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Grammaticalization or Lexicalization?

a. ‘highly-idiomatic’ constructions (e.g.

bring up ‘rear’) are the

result of lexicalization.7

Page 8: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

b. ‘semi-idiomatic’ constructions (e.g. chatter away) (aspectual meaning)

are grammaticalized from the directional meaning.

8

Page 9: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Questionsa. What processes are involved in the

grammaticalization of particles?b. Is it possible to analyze these

processes syntactically, e.g. Roberts and Roussou’s (2003) analysis of grammaticalization?

9

Page 10: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(7) Grammaticalization involves the creation of new functional material, either through the reanalysis of existing functional material or through the reanalysis of lexical material.

(Roberts and Roussou (2003: 2))

10

Page 11: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(8)Successive upward reanalysis along the functional hierarchy is thus how we define grammaticalization path.

(Roberts and Roussou (2003: 202))

11

Page 12: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Purposes of this talka. investigate syntactic and semantic

properties of V + away.b. account for them under the

syntactic treatement of aktionsart.c. Look at the historical development

of V + away with aspectual meaning.

12

Assumptionsa. [InitP Init [ProcP Proc [ResP

R ]]] (Ramchand (2008))

b. Asp head within VP (cf. Travis (1994, 2010), 藤田・松本 (2005),

Ogawa and Niinuma (2013))

Proposalsa. [InitP Init [AspP Asp [ProcP Proc [ResP R ]]]]

(Ogawa and Niinuma (2013))

b. Directional away -> R position.c. Aspectual away -> Asp head.d. compatible with Roberts and Roussou’s (2003) ‘upward reanalysis.’

2. Properties of the particle away

15

Page 16: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(McIntyre (2011))a. Under certain syntactic conditions, particles need not, or may not, be verb-adjacent.b. Particles differ from other elements fulfilling condition (a) in that they form a kind of ‘close union’ with a verb whose precise nature differs from theory to theory.c. Most, if not all, particles are (or are at least formally related to) complementless prepositions (or ‘directional/locational adverbs’ in traditional terms).

16

Page 17: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Directional away(13) a. directional away combines with motion verbs b. From this, the directional away metaphorically gained the meaning ‘removal.’

(Shimada (1985)).17

Page 18: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(14)intransitive verbsback away (あとずさりする) , bolt away (急いで去る) , break away (仲間から外れる) ,go away (去る) , run away (逃げる) , slip away (こっそり逃げる) , walk away (立ち去る)

18

Page 19: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(15) transitive verbs

beat away (打ち払う) , break away (こわして取り除く) , burn away (焼き払う) , cut away (切り取る) , ease away (そっと取り除く) , pull away (引き離す)wash away (流し去る)

19

(14) are unaccusatives(16) Unaccusative past participles can be used as nominal modifiers with active meaning, while unergative past participles cannot

a. unaccusative: the melted snow, the departed guests, the fallen soldiers

b. unergative: *the shouted victim, *the slept child, *the hesitated leader

20

Page 21: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(14) are unaccusatives(17)

a. the backed away boyb. the ran away boyc. the gone away boyd. the walked away boy

(cf. http://www3.unine.ch/files/content/sites/andrew.mcintyre/files/shared/mcintyre/3.argstr.genf.pdf)

21

Page 22: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(18)a. Directional away is allowed only when there is an internalargument.

resultatives??

22

Page 23: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Particles/resultativesa. Resultatives must be object-

oriented (Levin and Rappaport (1995: 34)

b. Particles in Old English are all resultatives (Los et al. (2012)).

23

Page 24: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Internal argument realization(20)

a. The dog barked (*me).b. The dog barked me away.(21)a. *The jogger ran the pavement.b. The jogger ran the pavement thin.

Selection of internal arguments

(22) clear {up / away} (the dishes) (cp. clear *(the dishes))

(Cappelle (2005))(23) a. John washed off the dirt. b. *John washed the dirt.

25

Page 26: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Summary (24) directional away shares the properties of

resultative secondary predicates.

26

Page 27: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

2.2. Aspectual awayThe aspectual use of away with verbs that do not refer to translocational motionBolinger (1971: 104-5), Brinton (1985:165-67), Jackendoff (1997: 539-40; 2002: 77-78), McIntyre (2001b: 132) and Rice (1999: 237-39).

27

Page 28: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(26a)

(26)a. “aspectual away emphasizes atelicity”

(Jackendoff 1997: 541).

28

Page 29: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(26)b. away expresses continuation in those cases where the verb refers to an atelic event (“durative situations, which can be continued”) but iteration in thosecases where the verb refers to a punctual (instantaneous) or telic event (“which cannot be continued”)

(Brinton (1985: 166))29

Page 30: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Some examples (27)a. Are you all knitting away furiously for Christmas?b. … a traditional fairground music organ playing merrily away .c. So, here I sit, laboring away like the dutiful little web designer I am.

(Cappelle (2005))

30

Page 31: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Aspectual away cannot have a direct object, but instead it can take PPs.

31

Page 32: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Examples (32)a. He was scrubbing away at the floor. (cp. He was scrubbing the floor)b. I was typing away at my report. (cp. I was typing my report)c. She smoked away at her cigarette. (cp. She smoked her cigarette)

32

Page 33: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Cappelle (2005)(29) If the object of the preposition effectively disappears as a result of the activity, aspectual away comes close in meaning to the directional away.

33

Page 34: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(30)a. Slowly but surely you can whittle away at the fat stores from all over the body.

(aspectual away) b. It will help tighten your buttock muscles and whittle away the flab around your hips.

(directional away)

34

Page 35: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Atelicity versus telicity(31)

a. I whittled away at my excessive pounds {for /*in} two months

(aspectual away)b. I whittled away my excessive pounds {in /*for} two months

(directional away).35

Page 36: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

*Stative verbs(32) aspectual away cannot combine

with clearly stative verbs (Jackendoff (1997))

*hear away, *know away, *remember away , *resemble away, etc.

36

Page 37: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

A counterexample?A: Do you want me to talk /recite (my lesson) / tell this joke) or not?B: Sure, talk / recite (it) / tell (it) away!

37

Page 38: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Nagano (2007)

“the empty object it has no semantic function at all.”-> not transitive verbs!

38

Page 39: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Properties of aspectual away(35)

a. It is compatible with intransitive verbs. b. Thus the particle cannot take an internal argument.c. The whole event denotes an activity, hence atelic.d. It cannot co-occur with stative verbs.

39

Page 40: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Interim Summary(36)

a. away with the directional meaning requires an argument.b. away with the aspectual meaning cannot have any argument.

3. An analysis

41

Page 42: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

3.1. Assumptionsa. [InitP Init [ProcP Proc [ResP

R ]]] (Ramchand (2008))

b. Asp head within VP (Travis (2010), 藤田・松本 (2005),

Ogawa and Niinuma (2013))

Ogawa and Niinuma (2013))43

Page 44: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(39) A different morphological Case or preposition on a Location DP or Theme DP affects the telicity of the event denoted by the verb.

44

Page 45: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Evidence for Asp head(40)

a. Mary ran towards the store for 3 hours/*in 3 hours.b. Mary ran to the store in 3

hours/*for 3 hours.

(Travis (2010: 110))

45

Page 46: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Evidence for Asp head 2(41)a. Anne rakensi talo-a tunni-n/*tunii-ssa.

Anne build house-Parthour-Acc/*hour-inessive‘Anne was building a/the house for an hour/*in an

hour.’b. Anne rakensi talo-n vuode-ssa/*vuode-n.

Anne build house-Acc year-inessive /*year-Acc ‘Anne built a/the house in a year/*for a year.’

(Ritter and Rosen (2001: 436))

46

Page 47: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

If the event delimiter moves to [Spec, AspP] and undergoes feature checking with Asp, it is not surprising that a DP or a PP which plays the same grammatical function shows a different morphological realization.

(Ogawa and Niinuma (2013))

47

Page 48: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Proposal(43)

a. the directional away is located in R and it takes an argument NP.b. the aspectual away is located in Asp and it causes a type coercion so that it is not compatible with the ResP.

48

Page 49: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Travis (2010)(44) We are solving the problem. (45) Travis suggests that a (DO/CAUSE) zero morpheme adds to V1, which would transform the Achievement into an Accomplishment.

49

Page 50: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

*Stative verbs

[Res R ] -> structure for stative verbs

Incompatible with Asp head!

3.2. Historical development of particles

(47)a. Particles in OE had the resultative meaning.b. projecting preverb > optionally projecting preverb > non-projecting preverb > prefix > (zero)

(Los et al. (2012))

51

Page 52: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Questions(48)

a. What is the connection between non- projecting particle and activity?

52

Page 53: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Questions(48) b.How can the particle away,

which was a resultative secondary predicate, gain the continuative meaning?

53

Page 54: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Proposal (49)a. Particles, which were located in R, had an argument.b. Particles had an argument optionally.c. Particles do not have an argument at all.

54

Page 55: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Proposal (49)d. The verb can omit the direct

object, so that the aktionsart of the verb changes from accomplishment to activity.

e. Finally, they became an aspectual head.

55

Page 56: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Empty Objects and Telicity

(50)

a. John is eating. (activity)b. John is eating an apple.

(accomplishment)

56

Page 57: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Empty Objects and Telicity

(51)

a. John was eating for an hour/ *in an hour.

(activity)b. John ate an apple in an hour/ *for an hour.

(accomplishment)57

Page 58: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(52)Omission of the direct object often serves to turn an accomplishment verb to activity.

(cf. Rice (1988), Goldberg (2001))

58

Page 59: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Predictions(54)

Directional away > object omission > aspectual away

5. Findings(57)a. The particle away combined with transitive verbs earlier than with intransitive verbs.

(cf. Ishizaki (2010, 2012))

b. Object omission has developed earlier than the intransitive verb with the particleaway.

6. Relationship among other languages

92

Page 93: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Aoki (2010): V + kiru (58)

a. V2 kiru had the meaning with “cutting” in Old Japanese; i.e. it functioned as a main verb.

93

Page 94: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Aoki (2010): V + kiru b. In Middle Japanese, V2 kiru gained the “completive” aspectual meaning. However, it is allowed to concatenate with the “change-of-state” verbs.

94

Page 95: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Aoki (2010): V + kiru • c. In Modern Japanese, both

meanings are allowed, and V2 kiru with the aspectual meaning can concatenate with any verb (tsukai-kiru, ‘run-complete,’ hasiri-kiru ‘run-complete’).

95

Page 96: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

V2 as an aspectual head (60) Asp

VP V2

NP V1 (cf. Nishiyama and Ogawa (2011), Ogawa and Niinuma (2011), Fukuda (2012), Kageyama (2012))

96

Page 97: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

If we combine Aoki’s (2010) analysis with recent treatment of Aspect head in V-V compounds in Japanese,

V2 is grammaticalized and V2 became an aspectual head.

97

Page 98: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Tasnim (2013)

•V2 in Bengali also is grammaticalized into an aspectual head.

98

Page 99: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Particles in Dutch(63)

a. Particles in Dutch also underwent

the grammaticalization process (Booij (2002), Los et al. (2012)).

b. Particles in Dutch become a prefix.

99

Page 100: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

Suffixation in English?(64)a. …because they were of the same nationality I go awayed a breastwork to influence me because of one bad experience.

(http://studentessays.blogspot.jp/search?q=awayed)

b. … after the French and Germans have drive awayed the United States.

(http://www.askscripts.info/article/4076-tokyo__march_5_kyodo___se.html)

100

Page 101: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

English, Dutch, Japanese, and Bengali

(65) underwent the similar grammaticalization process but

a. the elements that undergo grammaticalization are different.b. the timing of the grammaticalization are also different.

101

Page 102: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

7. Conclusion

102

Page 103: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

(66)

a. valency reduction as well as aspectual shift from accomplishment to activity make it possible to grammaticalize the particle away.

103

Page 104: 句動詞の統語構造 : away を中心 に

b. This analysis is compatible with Roberts and Roussou’s (2003) syntactic view of grammaticalization.
