Abstract

In this paper, I aim to explore the argument realization properties of change-of-state verbs and those of pseudo-transitives. I pursue this by (1) providing an overview of two approaches towards the representation of argument structure and event structure information and (2) applying them to English and Hungarian change-of-state verbs and pseudo-transitives. In the end, although I acknowledge the merits of both models, I would like to emphasize the descriptive power of the second model with regard to my Hungarian data.
