Abstract
I am interested in exploring how various properties of the of-phrase and the by-phrase may follow from, or be consistent with, view A, and in comparing an account of these properties based on A with other accounts that do not share this view.

Notes
This distinction was also argued for in Wasow & Roeper (1972).
Additional evidence to this effect concerning English gerundive nouns may be found in Vendler (1967, 1968, 1975).
In Zucchi (1989), I implement the argument view in Extended Categorial Grammar (see Bach (1980, 1983, 1984)). There, I suggest that the difference between the by-phrase and the of-phrase with respect to optionality may be accounted for by assuming that the argument corresponding to the by-phrase is implicitly satisfied syntactically rather than lexically.
