          Abstract

          En este artículo se explora desde una perspectiva generativa el comportamiento en castellano y catalán de los predicados psicológicos que resultan de construcciones con verbo ligero y se analiza su estructura eventiva. Se parte de una ESTRUCTURA EXPERIMENTADORA BÁSICA, en la que el argumento EXPERIENCIA es una raíz unida a V, que introduce la FUENTE (o TEMA) de la experiencia. Por su parte, el EXPERIMENTADOR es un argumento externo, introducido por la proyección funcional vEXP. Esta ESTRUCTURA EXPERIMENTADORA BÁSICA sólo puede ofrecer una lectura estativa; las lecturas eventivas, si se dan, son el resultado de una combinación de factores: i. la unión a la estructura de las proyecciones vBECOME y, opcionalmente, vCAUS; y ii. la concordancia de los rasgos eventivos de estas proyecciones funcionales con los que vienen subcategorizados en la raíz EXPERIENCIA. En caso de que se una la proyección vBECOME al SvEXP (y haya concordancia de rasgos), se obtiene una lectura incoativa; en cambio, si se une el núcleo vCAUS (y haya concordancia de rasgos), que introduce un CAUSANTE, la interpretación será la de un predicado causativo. Este análisis, además, da cuenta de la variación que se observa tanto en catalán como en castellano de la variación de la forma fonológica del verbo ligero.

          Translated abstract

          In this article I explore, within the generative framework, the behavior of psych predicates resulting from light verb constructions in both Spanish and Catalan, paying special attention to their eventive structure. I initially propose a BASIC EXPERIENCE STRUCTURE, whereby the Experience is an independent root merged on a V head, which is responsible for the introduction of the Source (or Theme) of the experience. The Experiencer, on the other hand, is an external argument introduced by the functional projection vEXP. This BASIC EXPERIENCE STRUCTURE only yields stative readings; the eventive interpretations, if they surface, are the result of combining two factors: i. merging the functional projections vBECOME and, optionally, vCAUS; and ii. establishing a matching operation of the eventive features of these functional projections with those subcategorized in the EXPERIENCE root. If the unaccusative projection vBECOME is merged (and feature matching takes place), an inchoative reading is obtained; if the projection vCAUS, which introduces a CAUSER at an external argument position, is merged (and feature matching takes place), the reading will be that of a causative experience predicate. Besides, this analysis accounts for the variation in the phonological output of the light verb, observed in both Catalan and Spanish.
