A Level Playing-Field: Perceptibility and Inflection in English Compounds
Abstract To explain why English compounds generally avoid internal inflectional suffixation (e.g. key-chain rather than keys-chain), linguists have often invoked the Level Ordering Hypothesis (Siegel 1979), i.e. that particular types of morphology, in this case inflectional suffixation, are derivationally ordered after compounding. However, a broad range of counterexamples and conceptual object...
متن کاملa contrastive analysis of concord and head parameter in english and azerbaijani
این پایان نامه به بررسی و مقایسه دو موضوع مطابقه میان فعل و فاعل (از نظر شخص و مشار) و هسته عبارت در دو زبان انگلیسی و آذربایجانی می پردازد. اول رابطه دستوری مطابقه مورد بررسی قرار می گیرد. مطابقه به این معناست که فعل مفرد به همراه فاعل مفرد و فعل جمع به همراه فاعل جمع می آید. در انگلیسی تمام افعال، بجز فعل بودن (to be) از نظر شمار با فاعلشان فقط در سوم شخص مفرد و در زمان حال مطابقت نشان میدهند...

متن کاملInflection and Movement in Old English
Rich verbal inflection has been argued (a) to license pro-drop (e.g. Safir 1985); (b) to be connected to overt Verb-second (Platzack & Holmberg 1989; van Gelderen 1993; Roberts 1996); and (c) to activate the AGR(eement) and T(ense) positions (Bobaljik & Jonas 1996). The connections in (b) and (c) follow if one assumes that the relationship between morphology and syntax is a direct one: elements...
