After discussing the semantics of only, the question of the proper interpretation of the prejacent is explored. It would be nice if the prejacent could be...

This paper provides a complex-predicate analysis of resultatives in terms of bare phrase structure. Our main claim is that the predicate types and thematic mapping rules required for simplex verbs can be used to explain core properties of resultative constructions if a strict versions of Chomsky’s inclusiveness condition is adopted. The analysis supports a view of subjects as external arguments...
