Word meaning, sentence meaning, and syntactic meaning
The lexicon has long been assumed to be the source of all conceptual content expressed by sentences. Syntactic structures have correspondingly been seen only as providing instructions for the assembly of the concepts expressed by words. Under this view, sentences have meaning, but the syntactic structures which sentences instantiate do not. This paper challenges this view: it uses the phenomeno...
متن کاملThe Meaning of Syntactic Dependencies
This paper discusses the semantic content of syntactic dependencies. We assume that syntactic dependencies play a central role in the process of semantic interpretation. They are defined as selective functions on word denotations. Among their properties, special attention will be paid to their ability to make interpretation co-compositional and incremental. To describe the semantic properties o...
متن کاملSyntactic Approach to Constructions of Generic Models
In the present article the syntactic approach to construction of generic models generalizing known semantic one is described. It is established a sufficient condition of homogeneity of generic model.It is shown that at the syntactic approach any countable homogeneous model is generic. Criterions and a sufficient condition of saturation of generic models formed at the syntactic way of its constr...
متن کاملSyntactic variation of support verb constructions
Syntactic Variation of Support Verb Constructions We report experiments about the syntactic variations of support verb constructions, a special type ofmultiword expressions (MWEs) containing predicative nouns. In these expressions, the noun can oc-cur with or without the verb, with no clear-cut semantic difference. We extracted from a large Frenchcorpus a set of examples of the two ...
متن کاملIdiomatic Syntactic Constructions and Language Learning
This article explores the influence of idiomatic syntactic constructions (i.e., constructions whose phrase structure rules violate the rules that underlie the construction of other kinds of sentences in the language) on the acquisition of phrase structure. In Experiment 1, participants were trained on an artificial language generated from hierarchical phrase structure rules. Some participants w...
