I will advocate a syntactic analysis of the formation of predicative adjectival passives. In particular, I will argue in the first half of this paper that Myers' generalization (Myers (1984), Pesetsky (1995)) plays a crucial role in the formation of predicative adjectival passives, showing that a verb accompanied by a covert morpheme, such as a verb in the double object construction, cannot enjoy the formation of adjectival passives.
In the latter half of this paper, I will provide four pieces of evidence in favor of a syntactic analysis of the formation of adjectival passives. They are concerned with the fact that they are compatible with a resultative predicate, an as-clause, a floating quantifier in a post-adjectival passive position, and reanalysis.
