Directory         1.     Sarah Hunt , Predicate Adjectives Requiring PP Complements Message 1: Predicate Adjectives Requiring PP Complements Date: 01-Nov-2010 From: Sarah Hunt <smhuntuci.edu> Subject: Predicate Adjectives Requiring PP Complements E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Members, I'm a research assistant in a syntax lab at UC Irvine, and I'm working on a project that examines how the brain stores lexemes' syntactic information. This research would eventually go towards a journal article. This project focuses on predicate adjectives like "fond" that require a PP complement (presumably for thematic and case reasons) in English: John is fond of the book *John is fond I am having trouble finding more of these. So far, two other people and myself have been going through lists of adjectives and testing each one for this criteria. But we're not having much success. I was wondering if anyone knows of a paper or book with a list of these, or even just happens to know a few other examples. I will post a summary of the responses. Thanks!
