There has been some debate as to whether the different classes of inchoative verbs are purely based in morphology, or whether the differentiation is derived from the lexical-semantic properties of each individual verb. application to humans who are portrayed as like a leech or like a louse Proceeding The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA. PPT Introduction to Lexical Semantics - Columbia University Based on the interaction between lexical properties, locality, and the properties of the EPP (where a phrasal head selects another phrasal element locally), Hale and Keyser make the claim that the Specifier position or a complement are the only two semantic relations that project a predicate's argument. (Usually called lexical structure.) PDF L100: Lecture 7, Compositional semantics - University of Cambridge In 2003, Hale and Keyser put forward this hypothesis and argued that a lexical unit must have one or the other, Specifier or Complement, but cannot have both.
