Abstract

The paper discusses the problem of selection for a that-clause among verbs that take DP/PPs with propositional meaning. It is largely assumed that whether a given verb selects for a that-clause is a lexical property of the verb (or, equivalently, property of the unique theta-role that would be assigned to the clause). I challenge this view providing examples from Russian where the verb’s ability to take a that-clause seems to be affected by such processes as passivization or perfectivization of the verb.
