Dissociations of Lexical Function: Semantics, Syntax, and Morphology
Aphasic patients who exhibit “asyntactic comprehension” show poor performance o n a sentence-picture matching task with semantically unconstrained sentences, such as “The cow bit the horse,” but good performance when the sentences are semantically constrained, such as “The boy threw the ball.” The assumption has been that such patients are able to interpret these latter sentences by relying sol...
متن کاملLexical Representation, Co-composition, and Linking Syntax and Semantics
A fundamental issue dividing theories of the syntax-semantics interface is whether the semantic representation of clauses is projected from the lexical representation of the verb which determines to a large extent the syntactic structure of the clause or whether it is constructed or composed based on the NPs and PPs co-occurring with the verb in a clause; in the latter view, the verb has a very...
متن کاملA minimalist view of the syntax-lexical semantics interface
This paper presents a restrictive theory of the interface between the lexicon and the syntax. I assume that only a limited amount of lexical information is available at the interface, and, following Borer (1994), that semantic (aspectual) interpretation is assigned at specifiers of aspectual projections, rather than within the VP. Thus, the concept of "Mapping" from lexicon to syntax or the "Li...
متن کاملThe Lexical Syntax and Lexical Semantics of the Verb-Particle Construction
Whether despite the amount of ink spilled over the verb-particle construction or because of it, there is still a dramatic lack of consensus regarding its syntactic structure. The construction is intriguing because the verb and particle function autonomously in some respects (for example, both (1) and (2) allow the verb-particle combination to be separated, as in (1b) and (2b)), but in other res...
متن کاملAccess to Lexical Information in Language Comprehension: Semantics before Syntax
The recognition of a word makes available its semantic and syntactic properties. Using electrophysiological recordings, we investigated whether one set of these properties is available earlier than the other set. Dutch participants saw nouns on a computer screen and performed push-button responses: In one task, grammatical gender determined response hand (left/right) and semantic category deter...
