| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立師範大學 === 英國語文學研究所 === 81 === This thesis adopts an analysis based on lexical decomposition,
arguing that psychological causative-transitives and psycho-
logical stative-transitives have different lexical structures
and, therefore, different D-structures, which differ only in
that the former class of psychological predicates has a higher
causal structure which is absent from the latter. It is the
extra causal structure that permits the c-command violation
between an anaphor and its antecedent displayed in sentences
with psychological causative-transitives. The discussion also
leads to some predictions that the lexical decomposition
analysis allows certain generalizations to be made across a
large number of lexical verbs of similar semantic types.
