Cross - linguistic variation in temporal adjunct clauses
A particular meaning can be realized by morphosyntactically distinct expressions across languages. One of the challenges for cross-linguistic research is to account for convergence in meaning in light of morphosyntactic variation. This paper examines cross-linguistic variation in the distribution and interpretation of tense in temporal adjunct clauses (TACs, e.g. English John crossed the street...
متن کاملConstraints on the Generation of Adjunct Clauses
This paper presents an analysis of a family of particular English constructions, all of which roughly express "purpose". In particular we look at the purpose clause, rationale .clause, and infinitival relative clause. We (1) show that couching the analysis in a computational framework, specifically generation, provides a more satisfying account than analyses based strictly on descriptive lingui...
متن کاملNPI Licensing in Temporal Clauses
This paper offers a systematic approach to NPI licensing in temporal clauses based on a uniform analysis of temporal connectives as relations between times and relying on appropriate type shifting for compositional buildup. The quantificational force commonly associated with temporal connectives is attributed to the operators earliest and max operating on the temporal clause and effecting the n...
متن کاملTemporal Dependencies
Static integrity constraints involve only the current database state. Temporal integrity constraints involve current, past, and future database states; they can be expressed by essentially unrestricted sentences in temporal logic. Certain syntactically restricted classes of temporal constraints have been studied in their own right for considerations of feasibility or practicality; they are usua...
متن کاملConstructing Filler-Gap Dependencies in Chinese Possessor Relative Clauses
This article explores the construction of filler-gap dependencies in Chinese possessor relative clauses (PRCs), which are different from typical relative clauses (RCs) considered in the literature because Chinese PRCs contain no overt missing arguments (i.e. gaps). As Chinese RCs are prenominal, the gaps precede the head noun fillers. It has been suggested that when the gaps are close to the fi...
