German Evidence for a Universal Clause Union Rule*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2016
Extract
Perlmutter posits a universally-applicable Clause Union (CU) rule as follows:
(a) If the downstairs clause is intransitive, downstairs 1 becomes upstairs 2.
(b) If it is transitive, downstairs 2 becomes upstairs 2, and downstairs 1 becomes upstairs 3.
(c) Deviations will be the result of (i) PSV or (ii) DAT MVT.
