A Semantic Characterization of Locative PPs
The last two decades have seen remarkable development in compositional modeltheoretic semantics of natural language. The idea that natural language expressions can be directly interpreted in the model of discourse has gained significant support in various domains. It led to a better understanding of inference in linguistics with close relation to syntax, helped to characterize linguistically re...
متن کاملThe aspectual impact of French locative goal PPs
In recent years, a number of analyses have been proposed to account for the contrast in (1) (e.g. (Tenny 1992), (Verkuyl 1993), (Krifka 1995), (Jackendo 1996)). Although they di er in theoretical background and technical detail, most of these analyses share the basic intuition that the telicity properties of sentences in (1) derive from the boundedness properties of the path the theme is descri...
متن کاملStructural complexity and the acquisition of recursive locative PPs
This paper examines the experimental results that reveal the referential behavior of children and how they navigate the complexity and quantity of structure in recursive NPs. Modification introduces complexity in the syntax and the semantics of noun phrases. Recursive modification, in particular, seems heavily constrained in the speech of children. We explore the source of children’s difficulty...
متن کاملSyntax-semantics mapping of locative arguments
This paper proposes a syntax-semantics correspondence of locative expressions: This proposal is based on the syntactic hierarchy among three locative structures (PPs, VPs, and verbal affixes) and the semantic hierarchy among four locative arguments (Goal, Source, Symmetric Path, Stative Location). As for the syntactic hierarchy, the verbal affixes are closer to the head verb than the locative/p...
متن کاملa frame semantic approach to the study of translating cultural scripts in salingers franny and zooey
the frame semantic theory is a nascent approach in the area of translation studies which goes beyond the linguistic barriers and helps us to incorporate cognitive and cultural factors to the study of translation. based on rojos analytical model (2002b), which centered in the frames or knowledge structures activated in the text, the present research explores the various translation problems that...
