By Delia Bentley
This booklet offers with break up intransitivity in Italian, supplying an in-depth research of the choice of the perfective operator, experiencer predicates, si-constructions, contract, ne-cliticization, past-participle behaviour and notice order. the writer proposes that the manifestations of break up intransitivity in Italian, when being variously restricted via well-formedness stipulations at the encoding of data constitution, essentially derive from the strain among accusative and energetic alignment. Drawing upon insights supplied by means of function and Reference Grammar, and counting on crossdialectal comparability and corpus-based proof, this learn makes new empirical and theoretical contributions to the controversy on break up intransitivity. it will likely be of curiosity to researchers in Italian and Romance linguistics, typology and theoretical linguistics.

Example text
In the following chapters, other passive constructions will be considered; for instance, those formed with andare, lit. go, and venire, lit. come, plus a past participle, and ^/-passives. It is not necessary to analyse these structures in detail in this context, since they are comparable with the passive with essere 'be', insofar as PSA markedness is concerned. 4), and thus the issue of the selection of the perfective operator is immaterial. A passive construction which must instead be mentioned here is the passive formed with avere 'have' plus a past participle.

The pressure from accusative alignment has resulted in the abandonment of the semantic principle, and the establishment of a system of marking which targets the PSA. In such cases, I shall assume that the new system contrasts PSAs with objects (see Chapter 5). Both macrorole assignment and the choice of the PSA are stages in the linking of the semantic and the syntactic levels of representation. Macrorole assignment is labeled as universal, in the RRG representation of the linking (VVLP: 177), since it belongs to the aspects of the linking which are characterized by a great deal of crosslinguistic regularity.
