영문 초록

There are many kinds of intransitive verbs in inverted PP construction:unaccusative verbs, unergative verbs, copular verbs, etc. of which only unaccusative verbs have been analyzed under Unaccusative Hypothesis without any stipulations. Though some linguists claim that the accusative analysis is eminent in generalizing inverted PP constructions, they have some difficulty describing the inverted PP constructions with unergative verbs under the unaccusative hypothesis. So we claim that there is no constraint on the verb selection in inverted PP constructions. So satisfied with presence of Top Phrase and VDP, the subjects of accusative constructions stay in VP-internal position and those of unergative constructions stay in [spec, IP], commonly with preposing the inverted PP to [spec, TopP]. This inverted PP construction is proposed to be only one of many inversion types that take place in intransitive constructions.
