Measuring compositionality in phrasal verbs
This paper demonstrates how to measure the compositionality of phrasal verbs using corpus frequencies from the BNC. This allows us to distinguish semantically transparent phrasal verbs (they lifted up their hats) from opaque ones (they summed up their feelings). Working by analogy to paradigmatic approaches to morphology (Moscoso del Prado Martín et al 2004), I use information theoretic terms t...
متن کاملThe Effect of Conceptual Metaphor Awareness on Learning Phrasal Verbs by Iranian Intermediate EFL Learners
The ability to comprehend and produce phrasal verbs, as lexical chunks or groups of words which are commonly found together, is an important part of language learning. This study investigates the effect of ‘conceptual metaphor awareness’, as a newly developed technique in Cognitive Linguistics, on learning phrasal verbs by Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To meet this objective, two intact ho...
متن کاملPhrasal verbs between syntax and lexicon
Phrasal verbs have some structural and semantic characteristics in common with morphologically complex words, even though they originate from phrasal constructions. Focusing on the role played by lexicalization and grammaticalization processes in the gradual shift from syntactic to morphological structures, this paper deals with semantic and morphotactic characteristics of Italian phrasal verbs...
متن کاملPhrasal Verbs and the LinGO-ERG
In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of phrasal verbs, discussing their characteristics and the challenges that they present for possible treatments. We also discuss the treatment for phrasal verbs in a particular grammar, the LinGO-ERG, and the coverage it provides. Possible ways of extending the coverage of this grammar are analysed and proposed, taking into account the regular pattern...
متن کاملPhrasal or Lexical Constructions?
Since the 1990s, more and more linguistic articles have been published in the framework of Construction Grammar. Although Kay and Fillmore (1999, p. 19) make it clear that Constructions are not necessarily phrasal, most of the authors suggest phrasal Constructions. This is especially apparent in Construction Grammar-inspired studies in the HPSG framework. In what follows, I show that the differ...
