Dimensionality, Causativity and Typological Patterns of Resultative Constructions

摘要：

According to Washio (1997), resultatives in natural languages can be divided into three types, namely strong, weak and spurious resultatives. Strong resultatives, also called typical resultatives, can be further divided the transitive HAMMER-type and intransitive RUN-type resultatives in which the main verbs concerned are activity verbs which do not have an inherent endpoint.Weak resultatives correspond to the BREAK-type resultatives in that the main verbs concerned are verbs which have an inherent endpoint. Spurious resultatives refer to those whose secondary predicates are more like adverbial modifiers (Mateu 2000; Geuder 2000; Kratzer 2005; Levin 2010).
