Factive islands revisited – experimental data on adjunct extraction
Factive verbs (know, regret, remember) are traditionally said to induce weak island effects, allowing the extraction of arguments, but not that of adjuncts, from the post-verbal clause. However, there are consistent differences between various types of factive verbs, for instance between the so...

| description | Factive verbs (know, regret, remember) are traditionally said
to induce weak island effects, allowing the extraction of arguments,
but not that of adjuncts, from the post-verbal clause. However, there
are consistent differences between various types of factive verbs, for
instance between the so-called cognitive factives (know, find out,
discover) and emotive factives (regret, resent, be sad). The former are
generally said to be more permissive and have even been reported to
allow adjunct extraction. The current study tests the availability of
adjunct extraction in the case of cognitive and emotive factive verbs
in English, by means of a comprehension task. The results show that
adjunct extraction is indeed banned, with no difference between the
two sub-types of factive verbs. |
