How the meanings of the verbs relate to the syntactic structures in which these verbs appear is a question of considerable importance for linguistic theory, and the research in this area focuses on verbal/diathesis alternations, i.e. alternations in the expression of verbal arguments. In addition, the connections between syntax and morphological patterns, especially to the extent that these reflect structural alternations, are becoming increasingly important for our understanding of the division of labour among grammatical components. This project investigates two phenomena that qualify as representatives of the syntax-morphology connection and are sensitive to properties of argument structure and/or verbal alternations. These are: (i) the presence of special (voice) morphology on intransitive counterparts of alternating verbs (anticausatives), standardly taken to be unaccusatives. (ii) Auxiliary selection in Perfect formation (HAVE vs. BE), standardly splitting intransitive verbs into two groups, unergative (select HAVE) vs. unaccusatives (select BE). [...]

动词的意义与其所处的句法结构之间的关系是语言学理论中一个相当重要的问题，这方面的研究主要集中在动词/素质的交替，即动词论元表达中的交替。此外，句法和形态模式之间的联系，特别是在这些模式反映结构变化的情况下，对于我们理解语法成分之间的分工越来越重要。本项目研究两种现象，有资格作为句法形态连接的代表，是敏感的参数结构和/或动词交替的属性。这些是：（i）交替动词（anticausatives）的不及物动词对应物上存在特殊的（语态）形态，立场被认为是不及物动词。(ii)完成式中的助动词选择（HAVE vs. BE），将不及物动词分为两组，非作格（选择HAVE）vs.非作格（选择BE）。[...]
