[...] I would like to explore the possibility that the typological distinction at issue here finds its origins not in phrase structure itself but, rather, in the nature of the relationship between phrase structure (PS) and LEXICAL STRUCTURE (LS). I use the term LS to refer to the argument structure of a predicator (e.g., a verb), and I assume that the logical form (LF) of a clause is defined, in part, by the relation of LS to PS.
