negated IP-pivots in Swedish are restricted to Themes, Paths and Perfor -
mers.
We have been able to establish these patterns by systematically using
data where it is possible to distinguish IP-pivots from VP-pivots, that is
sentences with auxiliary verbs and/or verbal particles. Note, however,
that most of the spontaneous occurrences of presentational sentences
have a single finite verb in which case the difference between IP- and VP-
pivots is blurred.
