ABSTRACT:
The paper presented data from Afrikaans that shows a posture verb that can optionally, either appear in verb-second position, or pied-pipe a coordinated lexical verb to second position. A variety of evidence was presented to show that the posture verb is, in fact, coordinated with a phonetically null light verb. An analysis is proposed in terms of feature movement and standard constraints on coordination such as the coordinate structure constraint. The implication of the research is that syntax can manipulate sub-components of the lexical feature bundle and consequently, that the notion of `lexical islandhood' should be adjusted.
