| Abstract: | The syntactic properties of manner of speaking verbs are argued to be “systematically associated with their lexical representation” (Zwicky, 1971). The aim of this paper is to investigate the properties of manner of speaking verbs from a comparative perspective with a view to identifying to what extent similar semantic representation maps onto similar syntactic behaviour. My proposal is that the syntactic differences between manner of speaking verbs in Romanian and English could potentially be reduced to the bridge/non-bridge distinction in conjunction with more general properties of the syntactic systems of the two languages. |
