We propose that the well-known verb-framed/satellite-framed variation observed by Talmy (1975, 1985, 2000) is a true syntactic parameter of a well-understood type: a head movement parameter. We claim that it depends on an uninterpretable feature bundled with the particular v head used in change-of-state constructions that forces the head of the Res(ult)P complement of v to undergo head movement to v in Italian. The technical apparatus employed is a feature-driven head movement parameter, of the same kind that accounts for the familiar V-to-T or T-to-C movement variation crosslinguistically. We argue that in Talmy’s class of verb-framed languages, head movement of the embedded Res head to change-of-state v is mandatory, just as head movement of v to finite T is mandatory in V-to-T movement languages. Unlike previous proposals, this approach does not ascribe a deficiency to verb-framed languages, either in their semantic composition inventory or in their inventory of structural operations, both deficiencies being prima facie implausible from a biolinguistic/Minimalist perspective.

泰尔米类型学的头部运动方法

我们认为，Talmy（1975，1985，2000）观察到的众所周知的动词构架/卫星构架变体是一种很好理解的真实句法参数：头部运动参数。我们声称，这取决于状态转换构造中使用的特定v头所捆绑的无法解释的特征，该特征迫使v的Res（ult）P补码的头在意大利语中经历了向v的头运动。所采用的技术设备是特征驱动的头部运动参数，其类型与从语言上解释熟悉的V-to-T或T-to-C运动变化相同。我们认为，在Talmy的动词框架语言类中，嵌入式Res的头部向状态变化v的头部运动是强制性的，就像在V到T的运动语言中v的头部向有限T的头部运动是强制性的一样。与以前的提案不同
