This article discusses novel experiencer‐object verbs (NEOs) and proposes to align their syntax as well as the syntax of nonagentive experiencer‐object verbs to the syntax of verbs undergoing the causative alternation under similar restrictions. We provide support for the view that (i) volitional agents do not occupy the same structural position as nonvolitional causers; (ii) VoiceP creates a phase, that is, a domain of compositional interpretation, and coercion into a psychological reading takes place in the absence of this layer; (iii) clitic doubling can be sensitive to animacy in a structure that lacks Voice and in which the clitic is the reflex of movement; and (iv) the accusative case morphology of experiencers both in eventive experiencer‐object constructions and our NEO constructions is straightforwardly explained as the result of dependent‐case assignment.

新型体验者对象动词和句法加倍

本文讨论了新颖的体验者-宾语动词（NEO），并提出将它们的语法以及非代理体验者-宾语动词的语法与在相似限制下经历因果交替的动词的语法对齐。我们支持以下观点：（i）自愿者与非自愿者没有相同的结构地位；（ii）VoiceP创建了一个阶段，即成分解释的领域，在没有这一层的情况下发生了对心理阅读的强迫；（iii）在没有声音且结构是运动反射的结构中，气候加倍可能会对动画性敏感；
