Abstract

This review article mainly deals with Jackendoff’s articles on productive VP constructions: the verb-particle construction, the time-away construction and the resultative construction. He proposes a flat VP structure in the analysis of verb-particle constructions. And he treats the time-away construction and the resultative construction as constructional idioms. The present article focuses on examining whether these proposals are more plausible than those of other approaches. In order to achieve this goal, I pursue an alternative analysis of the resultative construction based on the theory of the generative lexicon.
