Second, with respect to two key issues in the study of weather predicates within Generative Grammar, we claim (a) that Basque supports the view that both lexicalizations of weather verbs (unaccusative and unergative/transitive) are possible across languages, as argued by Bleotu (2015) and Levin & Krejci (2019); and (b) that the empty pro subject of Basque transitive weather constructions is closer to a quasi-argument (Chomsky 1981; Levin & Krejci 2019) rather than to a true expletive.

Secondly, regarding two key issues in the study of weather predicates within Generative Grammar, the article claims (a) that Basque supports the view that both lexicalizations of weather verbs (unacussative and unergative/transitive) are possible across languages, as argued by Bleotu (2015); and (b) that the empy pro subject of Basque transitive weather constructions has the features of a quasi-argument (Cho...

With that aim in mind, I will first describe the basic syntactic and semantic properties that non-inflected perception verb complements have in Basque. Then, I will critically review some of the previous proposals that have been entertained for the analysis of those contructions in that language. Finally, I will show that Felser’s analysis, once some of the specific morphosyntactic properties of Basque are factored out, represents the best possible account of the structure of those complements.

Berton, defendatzen da euskarazko adjektibo gehienek argumentu bakarra hartzen dutela, tough-egiturek barne, eta 'abil' motako zenbait adjektibo direla argumentu biko sarea izan dezaketenak.
