(1) a. Not all leather suitcases are worth money. b. It is worth quoting his exposition at some length c. The treaty was worth achieving. The worth constructions in (1) are peculiar in some respects. First, the adjective worth can take DP as its complement, as in (1a), while many other adjectives in English cannot. Second, worth can take gerundive complements, as in (1b), though sentences where gerunds are extraposed are less acceptable, compared with that or for-to clausal complements. Third\uff0cthe matrix subject corresponds to the null object of the gerundive complement, as in (1c). Tough constructions exhibit the same syntactic property as (1c), as argued in the literature. In this paper, I will claim that the adjective worth has an AP shell structure, as in (2), in which the small a can check the Case feature of the complement, in order to explain the syntactic properties of worth constructions illustrated in (1). (2) [aP DP1 a [AP r worth DP2]] This structure might be verified by the fact that when worth does not take a nominal or gerundive complement, the sentence is ungrammatical, as in (3). (3) *achiving that status is worth If worth must always check the Case feature, the ungrammaticality of sentence (3) can be straightforwardly explained: the Case feature of worth remains unused. I will argue against the null operator movement analysis of worth constructions such as (1c), though there are phenomena characteristic of A\u0027-dependency in (4)-(5), which are shared by tough constructions. (4) A better love life is not worth dying for. (5) Is a rotten world not worth fighting for or saving? In (4), the preposition is stranded; sentence (5) exhibits effects of the Coordinate Structure Constraint and Across-the-Board. This paper further claims that the null object in gerunds is not null operator, PRO or pro, but it is an overt lexical element to be deleted at PF. To avoid a problem with theta-marking, in addition, it is also assumed that in a sentence like (1c), the matrix subject is base-generated in the specifier of aP, in which a \u03b8-role is assigned to it, and raises into the subject position to check the EPP feature of T. The argument presented in this paper is based mainly on the data collected from COBUILD Direct.", "subitem_description_type": "Abstract"}]}, "item_9_publisher_32": {"attribute_name": "\u51fa\u7248\u8005", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_publisher": "\u540d\u53e4\u5c4b\u5927\u5b66\u82f1\u6587\u5b66\u4f1a"}]}, "item_9_select_15": {"attribute_name": "\u8457\u8005\u7248\u30d5\u30e9\u30b0", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_select_item": "publisher"}]}, "item_9_source_id_7": {"attribute_name": "ISSN\uff08print\uff09", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_source_identifier": "0914-2266", "subitem_source_identifier_type": "ISSN"}]}, "item_creator": {"attribute_name": "\u8457\u8005", "attribute_type": "creator", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"creatorNames": [{"creatorName": "Yanagi, Tomohiro"}], "nameIdentifiers": [{"nameIdentifier": "91152", "nameIdentifierScheme": "WEKO"}]}]}, "item_files": {"attribute_name": "\u30d5\u30a1\u30a4\u30eb\u60c5\u5831", "attribute_type": "file", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"accessrole": "open_date", "date": [{"dateType": "Available", "dateValue": "2019-05-10"}], "displaytype": "detail", "download_preview_message": "", "file_order": 0, "filename": "ivy_32_115.pdf", "filesize": [{"value": "721.8 kB"}], "format": "application/pdf", "future_date_message": "", "is_thumbnail": false, "licensetype": "license_free", "mimetype": "application/pdf", "size": 721800.0, "url": {"label": "ivy_32_115.pdf", "url": "https://nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/27976/files/ivy_32_115.pdf"}, "version_id": "4a57dc80-0c9e-4152-8d3b-80d6f3825717"}]}, "item_language": {"attribute_name": "\u8a00\u8a9e", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_language": "eng"}]}, "item_resource_type": {"attribute_name": "\u8cc7\u6e90\u30bf\u30a4\u30d7", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"resourcetype": "departmental bulletin paper", "resourceuri": "http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501"}]}, "item_title": "Worth Is Worth Investigating : A Corpus-based Analysis of Worth Constructions", "item_titles": {"attribute_name": "\u30bf\u30a4\u30c8\u30eb", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_title": "Worth Is Worth Investigating : A Corpus-based Analysis of Worth Constructions"}]}, "item_type_id": "9", "owner": "1", "path": ["326/521/2321/2390"], "permalink_uri": "http://hdl.handle.net/2237/00030174", "pubdate": {"attribute_name": "\u516c\u958b\u65e5", "attribute_value": "2019-05-10"}, "publish_date": "2019-05-10", "publish_status": "0", "recid": "27976", "relation": {}, "relation_version_is_last": true, "title": ["Worth Is Worth Investigating : A Corpus-based Analysis of Worth Constructions"], "weko_shared_id": 3}
