There have been two approaches of dealing with the properties of v: the feature-specification system which leads to four types of v is proposed by Hasegawa (2001) on one hand, and split-v analyses have been proposed on the other (cf. Bowers 2002, Pylkkanen 2002, and Tonosaki 2003). Developing Hasegawa's analysis, we propose decomposition of v through the examination of data of non-Agentive sentences, especially those which we call Possessive-Relationship Constructions (PRCs). We also argue that the proposed system is preferable in terms of Burzio's Generalization (Burzio 1981, 1986)}, pages = {1--37}, title = {Decomposition of the Little v : Possessors of Interest}, volume = {11}, year = {2005} }
