14 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTIONLikewise, the \subject" of the gerundive|i.e., John's| behaves like the\subject" of a noun phrase (the possessor), not the subject of a sentence.This is most evident in the fact that it receives genitive case, not nominativecase:(3) [John] destroyed the spaceship[John's] destruction of the spaceship[John's] destroying the spaceshipIt is clear that externally, and with respect to the subject, the gerundiveis a noun phrase. We have this piece of structure, then:(4) NP/ \NP ?|John'sOn the other hand, it is equally clear that the remainder of the gerundive,i.e., building a spaceship, constitutes a VP. -ing is a fully productiveverbal ax: any verb can appear in the gerundive construction. In thisway it diers from clear cases of derived nouns, which are quite sporadic intheir productivity, in English|we have destruction, for example, but not*debunktion referral, but not *interral. More importantly, there is quite along list of processes and constructions which appear in the verb phrase, butnot in the noun phrase, including case assignment to the object, raising,Exceptional Case Marking (Raising to Object), double objects, particlesand particle movement, and numerous others. All of these constructionsare to be found in the gerundive:
1. A PUZZLE AND ITS SOLUTION 15(5) a. *John's destruction the spaceshipJohn destroyed the spaceshipJohn's destroying the spaceshipb. *John's appearance to be deadJohn appeared to be deadJohn's appearing to be deadc. *John's belief Bill to be Caesar AugustusJohn believed Bill to be Caesar AugustusJohn's believing Bill to be Caesar Augustusd. *John's gift/rental (of) Mary (of) a FiatJohn gave/rented Mary a FiatJohn's giving/renting Mary a Fiate. *John's explanation (away) of the problem (away)John explained (away) the problem (away)John's explaining (away) the problem (away)This gives us another piece of the structure:(6) ?\VP/ \V NP| |building a spaceshipThe puzzle is how to t these two pieces together| (4) and (6)|withoutdoing violence to the principles which constrain phrase structure. The obviousway of putting them together, as in (7), does not satisfy this criterion:(7) NP/ \NP VP| / \John's V NP| |building a spaceshipThe structure (7) violates widely-assumed conditions on phrase structure,in that the highest NP lacks a head. VP cannot be the missing head,
