Syntactic 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...
متن کاملProsodic boundaries in subordinate syntactic constructions
Based on a video recording of conversational British English, this paper tests whether several different subordinate syntactic structures are evenly vocally integrated to their environment. "Secondary constructions" have been described in linguistics as dependent, subordinate forms elaborating on primary elements of discourse. Although their verbal and vocal characteristics have been deeply ana...
متن کاملLearning Syntactic Constructions from Raw Corpora
Construction-based approaches to syntax (Croft, 2001; Goldberg, 2003) posit a lexicon populated by units of various sizes, as envisaged by (Langacker, 1987). Constructions may be specified completely, as in the case of simple morphemes or idioms such as take it to the bank, or partially, as in the expression what’s X doing Y?, where X and Y are slots that admit fillers of particular types (Kay ...
