Abstract
In this paper, I am concerned with prefixed adjectival participles in Czech. I show that in contrast to the most widely accepted approach to Slavic prefixes, adjectival participles can be derived by both lexical and superlexical prefixes and that lexically and superlexically prefixed participles can denote a target state as well as a resultant state. I propose that prefixed adjectival participles have the following syntactic structure [AP A [PartP Part [AspP Asp [vP v [√P √ [pP p [PP P]]]]]]], where the adjectival head works as a stativizer and the prefix is an incorporated preposition. The incorporated preposition introduces a state variable in its meaning, which licenses the stativizer in the derivation.
