This paper purports to investigate the Agentivity of English Middle Verb.
It is generally accepted that English Middle Verbs have the following characteristics. First, they are non-eventive. They prefer present tense and denote generic events. As a result, the past tense with definite past moments and the progressive aspects are incompatible with them. Second, middles involve the modal notion of possibility. Third, another characteristic is that they require certain adverbials like easily, well, etc. Fourth, the grammatical subjects of middles are responsible for the action denoted by the verb. Fifth, middle constructions have implicit Agents. Sometimes, it is said they are explicit in the form of for-Phrase.
The present paper is especially concerned with the fourth and fifth characteristics.
The Agentivity of middle construction poses problems and various solutions. Among others, it is said that there's no such thing as movement from the first and it is also said that there's apparent agentivity and it comes form the inner object of the verb. Some recent researches suggest that it depends on the verbs whether they have agentivity or not.
Present paper suggests another approach by investigating the verb "SELL" The suggestion is that middles and ergatives share so many similarities that the agentivity depends on the semantic and pragmatic effects, not by the Middle Verbness.
