Project phase complete


These pages provide information about the first project phase of the experiencer project, which investigated in which way semantic and pragmatic characteristics of prominence influence the structure of experiencer-stimulus constructions. Information about the current status of the project as well as a full list of publications can be found on the pages of the current project phase "On the typology of the psych-alternation in morphology, syntax, and discourse".

Experiencers

Experiencers and predicates that select experiencers make up a central field of phenomena of theoretical linguistics, as they trigger effects that are located outside of the standard behavior of canonical (non-experimental) structures.
