| Abstract | In this paper an analysis is presented of prenominal and postnominal passive participles in English and Dutch. Besides the three types of participles commonly distinguished in the literature (statives, resultatives, and postnominal eventive participles), a fourth type is distinguished: prenominal eventive participles. It is claimed that the four types of participles have a different interpretation, which is related to a different internal syntactic structure. The analysis of passive participles is also extended to other types of deverbal modifiers. It is argued that the internal syntactic structure of the four types of participles forces their merging to the left or the right of the noun. |
