Argomenti locativi di verbi sintagmatici romanzi

The paper focuses on the argument structure of phrasal verbs in Romance languages (Italian and Northern Italian dialects). Several semantic classes of Romance phrasal verbs with a locative particle are illustrated. They all present a similar argument structure (with a figure/ground argument and a located/locum argument). In some classes, however, one argument can be implicit. Its existence is marked by the particle itself, and its semantic content is suggested by a pragmatic, or contextual, or encyclopedic knowledge.
