Antisymmetry and Word Order in Serial Constructions
Strict head-final surface order derives from underlying left-headedness in Ijo , a Niger-Congo language of Nigeria. A word order anomaly in Ijo SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTIONS (SVCs) strongly suggests this, and left-to-right asymmetric c-command among internal arguments of SVCs confirms it. The anomaly is universal among surface right-headed languages with SVCs, indicating that deep left-headedness i...
متن کاملOn the order of objects in Icelandic double object constructions*
This paper deals with the order of objects in double object constructions in Icelandic. It reports on an experimental study which was conducted to test the acceptability of the unmarked and inverted word orders. The study reveals that the inverted object order (direct object precedes indirect object) is in fact not as acceptable as has often been claimed in the previous literature. The paper lo...

متن کاملA Corpus-Based Analysis of Canonical Word Order of Japanese Double Object Constructions
The canonical word order of Japanese double object constructions has attracted considerable attention among linguists and has been a topic of many studies. However, most of these studies require either manual analyses or measurements of human characteristics such as brain activities or reading times for each example. Thus, while these analyses are reliable for the examples they focus on, they c...
متن کاملVerb Semantics and Double Object Constructions A constraint-based approach to Double Object Constructions in German
This paper treats verbs of diverse syntactic and semantic origins that enter into preposition-less double object constructions in German. It develops a fine-grained semantics within a lexicalist approach to grammar. Three semantic components are recognized: situation schemata which represent situational knowledge in the form of a matrix of abstract participant constellations; the attribute desi...
