[タイトル/アブストラクト] Te aru as a semi-passive resultative construction: toward a formal semantic analysis

　　　The aspectual morpheme - te aru behaves like the passive morpheme -(r)are in that it generally requires a transitive verb and the object of the verb is promoted to the subject. Another characteristic of this construction is that the resulting sentence semantically marks the new subject as having acquired a resultant state of the event in question. These generalizations have exceptions, however. In some rare instances, - te aru attaches to an intransitive verb such as neru ‘sleep’ to indicate an abstract resultant state acquired by the subject entity ( yoku ne-te aru ‘have slept well and am ready’). In addition, this construction does not necessarily promote the object of a transitive verb to the subject; the object could keep the same accusative case marker (- o ) even when this morpheme is attached to the verb. When this happens, the subject is usually omitted and the resultant state is still be associated with the -o marked nominal (e.g. (# watasi-ga ) osyokuzi-o yooisi-te arimasu ‘the meal is ready’). I shall attempt to provide a formal account of the complex data associated with this construction.
