| Rezumat: | In this paper, we highlight some constraints on the distribution of bare nominals in Romanian. First, we argue that inchoatives can take bare nominals, but the syntactic structure assigned to them is similar to the one assigned to verbs of change of location: following Cuervo (2003), bare nominals are projected in a non-specifier position due to their semantics (they are NPs cf. Abney 1987). Sentences containing unaccusatives with bare nominals are semantically defective, and need a subject of predication which is usually fulfilled by an adverbial phrase of time or place. Second, we argue that in Romanian se-marked unaccusatives and even unergatives can take bare nominals in the presence of an adverbial which functions as subject of predication. Thus, bare nominals are constrained by the predication requirement, and do not represent an unaccusativity diagnostic. |
