Abstract
This paper encompasses a syntactic analysis of circumstantial prepositional phrases and argues that their attachment as the innermost complements of verbs (McConnell-Ginet 1982, Larson 1989, 2005, Kayne 1994, Chomsky 1995) can give a better account not only of their nature as constituents related to the event (Davidson 1967, Kratzer 1996) but also of other grammatical phenomena like agreement with inflected adverbials (as in Aleut, Nilsen 2000) or word order setting in V-initial languages.Pubblicazioni consigliate
