A different contribution for the analysis of emission verbs
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the behavior of Emission verbs in English. Given their heterogeneous characteristics (Rodriguez Ramalle, 2006) and complexity, these verbs represent a challenge. Emission verbs (Levin, 1993; Levin & Rappaport, 1995; Milivojevic, 2016) have been studied...

I10-R303-article-347772021-09-13T16:22:51Z A different contribution for the analysis of emission verbs Otro aporte para el análisis de los verbos de emisión en inglés Iummato, Silvia Martínez, Mauro Matías verbs emission unergativity unaccusativity meaning verbos emisión inergatividad inacusatividad significado The purpose of this paper is to analyze the behavior of Emission verbs in English. Given their heterogeneous characteristics (Rodriguez Ramalle, 2006) and complexity, these verbs represent a challenge. Emission verbs (Levin, 1993; Levin & Rappaport, 1995; Milivojevic, 2016) have been studied and analyzed through numerous lexical approaches in which, due to their polysemy, they are given several entries in the lexicon. Following the line of reasoning from these approaches, emission verbs are classified on account of their variable behavior. Seen from a syntactic perspective, particularly, from the concepts of the Distributed Morphology (Halle & Marantz, 1993), we suggest that the syntactic structures in which verbs appear, in other words, the syntactic context, determines the meaning of these verbs; hence, their interpretation depends on the structure in which they appear and the double entries are not necessary. To present our findings, we base our research on light, substance and sound emission verbs. When these verbs appear in syntactic structures in which there are prepositional phrases, their behavior relates to an unaccusative structure linked to resultative structures. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal explorar los verbos de emisión en la lengua inglesa, que, dado su comportamiento heterogéneo (Rodríguez Ramalle, 2006), presentan un desafío por su complejidad. Los verbos de emisión (Levin, 1993; Levin & Rappaport, 1995; Milivojevic, 2016) cuentan con numerosos estudios lexicalistas que les asignan varias entradas léxicas debido a su polisemia. Estos enfoques consideran que los verbos de emisión pueden presentar una doble clasificación por tener significaciones correspondientes a diversas entradas léxicas. Desde una perspectiva sintáctica, más específicamente, desde la morfología distribuida (Halle & Marantz, 1993), mostramos que la estructura en la que ocurren las raíces, es decir, el contexto sintáctico, determina el significado que finalmente adquiere el verbo; en consecuencia, los verbos no cuentan con diversos significados, sino que su interpretación deriva de la estructura en la que se insertan. Para realizar nuestro análisis nos basamos en verbos de emisión de luz, de sustancia y de sonido. Estos verbos, cuando se combinan con sintagmas preposicionales, forman parte de una estructura inacusativa vinculada con la resultatividad.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the behavior of Emission verbs in English.
