Mandarin Resultative Compound Fragment #
Lexical entries for Mandarin V-V resultative compounds and phase complements,
parameterized by cross-linguistic types from Theories.Semantics.Causation.Resultatives.
Compound data #
Each V-V compound entry records V1, V2, result orientation, and realization type. Object-oriented compounds (dǎ-sǐ "hit-die") and subject-oriented compounds (kū-lèi "cry-tired") coexist productively — Mandarin does not enforce the Direct Object Restriction (DOR).
Phase complements #
A closed class of grammaticalized V2 morphemes with fixed CoSType semantics:
dǎo 倒, wán 完, hǎo 好, diào 掉, zhù 住.

PhaseComplement (the closed-class V2 morpheme enum) lives here rather
than in Theories/: it enumerates Mandarin-specific morphemes
(dǎo/wán/hǎo/diào/zhù), so the data is Mandarin-anchored. Cross-linguistic
typological parameters (ResultativeRealization, ResultOrientation)
remain in Theories.Semantics.Causation.Resultatives.
Mandarin phase complements: a closed class of grammaticalized V2 morphemes that fix the change-of-state semantics of the result. @cite{tay-2024} discusses these as a typologically distinctive Mandarin device.

Mapping from each phase complement to its CoSType semantics.
wan → cessation models the activity-aspectual reading
(P-during-event, ¬P-after = activity ceased), not a patient-result
reading. The patient-result reading ("the food is gone") would
require a separate .completion CoSType; cessation is the
closest fit in the current taxonomy.
dao → inception and hao → inception are both blunt fits:
@cite{sybesma-2017} distinguishes -dao 到 (telos-attainment, "reach
a goal") from -hao 好 (norm-attainment, "achieve a satisfactory
state") and from -diao 掉 (patient-removal). All three are kinds
of completion / event-endpoint, not inception; the taxonomy
here is forced because CoSType lacks a .completion constructor.
Refining CoSType with .completion (or .attainment) would let
these be distinguished from genuine inceptives like start/begin,
but the cross-linguistic blast radius (~20 consumers) makes that
refactor a separate workstream.
Additionally, the surface form dao covers two Mandarin morphemes
written with different characters: 倒 'fall' (a directional/RVC
use, e.g. tui-dao 'push over') and 到 'arrive/attain' (the
phase-complement use, e.g. mai-dao 'succeed in buying'). The
phase_dao entry below glosses 'fall', but Liu & Yip 2026 App. B
treats the phase-complement -dao as 到. The conflation should be
split when the substrate refactor lands.
-- UNVERIFIED: Tay 2024's exact taxonomy of wan; the cessation classification is the project's best fit, not a literal citation. -- UNVERIFIED: dao/hao both → .inception; per @cite{sybesma-2017} these are completion/attainment, not inception.
