This book addresses the three fundamental properties of V-V
resultative constructions in Mandarin Chinese: their generation,
their syntactic structure, and their alternations. This book is
original and new in the following aspects. First, adopting the
'inner vs. outer domain' theory, it provides new analysis and
evidence that these compounds are generated in syntax, not in
lexicon. Second, this book argues that the two subclasses of V-V
resultative constructions, object-oriented vs. subject-oriented V-V
resultatives, actually have different structures. Their syntactic
contrasts have not been observed in the literature before. Third,
this book is new in determining the syntactic structure of the V-V
resultative constructions through their adverbial modification
properties. It demonstrates that the previous isomorphism analysis
of the syntactic structure of Chinese V-V resultatives does not
hold. Finally, this book provides a new analysis of the issue of
the alternations of V-V resultatives. In contrast to previous
analyses, which generally view the causative alternation as the
idiosyncratic property of particular V-V compounds, this book
provides a principled analysis. This book makes a substantial
improvement of the current understanding of the issues in the
syntax of Mandarin Chinese and gives new support to certain
theories of the generative grammar from the perspective of Mandarin
Chinese.
