A new account of the peculiar syntax of psychological verbs argues that experiencers are grammaticalized as locative phrases. Experiencers--grammatical participants that undergo a certain psychological change or are in such a state--are grammatically special. As objects (John scared Mary; loud music annoys me), experiencers display two peculiar clusters of nonobject properties across different languages: their syntax is often typical of oblique arguments and their semantic scope is typical of subjects. In The Locative Syntax of Experiencers, Idan Landau investigates this puzzling correlation and argues that experiencers are syntactically coded as (mental) locations. Drawing on results from a range of languages and theoretical frameworks, Landau examines the far-reaching repercussions of this simple claim. Landau shows that all experiencer objects are grammaticalized as locative phrases, introduced by a dative/locative preposition. "Bare" experiencer objects are in fact oblique, too, the preposition being null. This preposition accounts for the oblique psychological properties, attested in case alternations, cliticization, resumption, restrictions on passive formation, and so on. As locatives, object experiencers may undergo locative inversion, giving rise to the common phenomenon of quirky experiencers. When covert, this inversion endows object experiencers with wide scope, attested in control, binding, and wh-quantifier interactions. Landau's synthesis thus provides a novel solution to some of the oldest puzzles in the generative study of psychological verbs. The Locative Syntax of Experiencers offers the most comprehensive description of the syntax of psychological verbs to date, documenting their special properties in more than twenty languages. Its basic theoretical claim is readily translatable into alternative frameworks. Existing accounts of psychological verbs either consider very few languages or fail to incorporate other theoretical frameworks; this study takes a broader perspective, informed by findings of four decades of research.

Die Studie behandelt die Verwendung der lokalen Kasus in Tocharisch A und Tocharisch B, den indogermanischen Sprachen im Tarim-Becken, Sinkiang, die aus dem 7.-9. Jh. n. Chr. überliefert sind. Tocharisch ist in seiner Grundstruktur flektierend-agglutinierend; diese Struktur tritt innerhalb des Kasussystems deutlich hervor. Die Studie konzentriert sich auf die Kasus, die Lokalisierung und Richtung (d. h. Obliquus, Allativ, Perlativ und Lokativ) ausdrücken. Abschließend wird eine theoretische Diskussion über die Natur der Lokalkasus und eine Rekonstruktion einer möglichen funktionalen Entwicklung der urtocharischen Lokalkasus in Tocharisch A und Tocharisch B durchgeführt. This volume deals with the use of the local cases in Tocharian A and Tocharian B, Indo-European languages of the Tarim Basin, Eastern Central Asia, of the 7th - 9th centuries AD. Tocharian is basically inflectional-agglutinative, and this tendency is dominant in the case system. This study concentrates on the local cases expressing location and direction (i.e. oblique, allative, perlative, and locative) in case constructions and adpositional phrases expressing local and temporal relations. A theoretical discussion of the nature of the local cases and a possible evolution of their functions from Proto-Tocharian to Tocharian A and Tocharian B concludes this study.
