The paper aims at verifying if the difference in grammatical behavior between simple and pronominal unaccusativity in Italian (usually referred to as split unaccusativity) reflects a difference in their event structure. We put forth a proposal of Event Structure representation for the two kinds of unaccusative verbs based on Generative Lexicon Theory.

Abstract
The paper aims at verifying if the difference in grammatical behavior between simple and pronominal unaccusativity in Italian (usually referred to as split unaccusativity) reflects a difference in their event structure. We put forth a proposal of Event Structure representation for the two kinds of unaccusative verbs based on Generative Lexicon Theory.File in questo prodotto:
