Romance complex predicates: phrasal and functional structure
Recently there has been much work in surface constraint-based frameworks on complex predicate constructions (causative and light verb constructions), that are found in Romance and other languages. Manning et al. forthcoming). The enthusiasm for this area comes from the fact that these constructions contradict certain of the assumptions of early work in surface constraint-based frameworks. Never...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولConstructing Spanish Complex Predicates
Abeillé and Godard (2007) describe a variety of Spanish whose complex predicates differ structurally from the more familiar flat VP type of complex predicate common to other varieties of Spanish and Romance. I present a verb cluster analysis of this variety which both captures these structural differences, and at the same time preserves those features that are common across both construction ty...
متن کاملMachine Translation and Complex Predicates ?
The correspondence and restriction based approach to machine translation of Kaplan et al (1989) is expanded in Kaplan and Wedekind (1993) to include a treatment of complex predicates. Complex predicates pose the kind of problem usually described under \head-switching" because their syntax and semantics are non-isomorphic. Ka-plan and Wedekind's (1993) solution involves a restriction operator in...
متن کاملComplex Predicates in Arrernte
Using the example of Murrinh-Patha, Seiss (2011) illustrates how Australian Aboriginal languages can shed light on the morphology-syntax interface: one aspect of their polysynthetic nature is that information often encoded in phrases and clauses in other languages is instead found in a single morphological word. In this paper, we look at another instance, the Australian Aboriginal language Arre...
