Abstract

The raising construction in Chinese is different from the English, for which the displacement of the subject will be intervened by adverbial phrases and experiencer. This study will give a better explanation of the intervention effect of Chinese raising construction from the perspective of Contiguity Theory in the syntax-prosody field, and provide a crosslinguistic test for the hypothesis of Contiguity Theory. This study further induces the prosodic structure of raising structure with multiple raising verbs as well.
