Kind level predicates of events such as three times, the third time, and occasionally can occur as a predicate of an independent predication, or appear as an adverbial, with an event kind-denoting expression as their argument. The reduced forms of such predicates can surface inside a nominal of another predication, e.g., Four thousand ships passed through the lock last year; Susi bought a second guitar, and An occasional sailor strolled by. This paper argues that these predicates are displaced from their base-positions so that an event kind-denoting expression in the verbal category can be merged as the subject in the event-kind predication. The proposed overt movement displaces the categorial features of an expression, leaving its semantic features in situ, an operation symmetrical to a covert movement, which displaces the semantic features without categorial features.

另一个谓词中的事件的种类级别谓词☆

事件的种类级谓词，如三次、第三次和偶尔，可以作为独立谓词的谓词出现，也可以作为状语出现，以事件种类表示表达式作为它们的论元。这种谓词的简化形式可以出现在另一个谓词的名词性中，例如，去年有四千艘船通过船闸；苏西买了第二把吉他，偶尔有个水手路过. 本文认为，这些谓词从它们的基础位置移位，以便在动词范畴中表示事件种类的表达式可以合并为事件种类谓词中的主语。所提出的显性运动取代了表达式的类别特征，将其语义特征留在原地，这是一种与隐蔽运动对称的操作，它取代了没有类别特征的语义特征。
