Description
Summary:	This text presents an extended investigation into a set of linguistic phenomena that have received much attention over the last 15 years. Besides providing support for David Perlmutter's hypothesis that unaccusativity is syntactically represented but semantically determined, this book contributes to the development of a theory of lexical semantic representation and to the elucidation of the mapping from lexical semantics to syntax.
