摘要

In Ji’an Yunlou Gan Chinese, the fused motion verb combination luai- k h $k^{h}$ ə ‘come-go’ presents a paradox. It is syntactically low, at the vP or VP edge, but interpretatively high, affecting speech-act structure. It activates both speaker and hearer roles, shifting second-person subjects to inclusive interpretations in directives and acting as an attention-getter or ‘negotiator’ in commissives. Pursuing analogies to Basque, Japanese, and Jingpo, we propose a movement-free analysis, following Cheng and Sybesma (2003, 2004) and Cheng (2019) for a similar paradox in Chinese: luai- k h $k^{h}$ ə carries a bundled feature complex anchored to the Speech-act Phrase (SAP).
