Antisymmetry and Word Order in Serial Constructions
Strict head-final surface order derives from underlying left-headedness in Ijo , a Niger-Congo language of Nigeria. A word order anomaly in Ijo SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTIONS (SVCs) strongly suggests this, and left-to-right asymmetric c-command among internal arguments of SVCs confirms it. The anomaly is universal among surface right-headed languages with SVCs, indicating that deep left-headedness i...
متن کاملConstructions , complexity , and word order variation
This chapter is concerned with the possibility of accounting for word order and word order variation in terms of complexity. I propose that it is useful to consider word order variation in terms of competing constructions, where other things being equal, the less complex construction is preferred by speakers. This view of variation presupposes that we have a way of measuring complexity. I sugge...
متن کاملWord Order Typology through Multilingual Word Alignment
With massively parallel corpora of hundreds or thousands of translations of the same text, it is possible to automatically perform typological studies of language structure using very large language samples. We investigate the domain of word order using multilingual word alignment and high-precision annotation transfer in a corpus with 1144 translations in 986 languages of the New Testament. Re...
متن کاملConstructions in Word Grammar
In this paper we consider the relationship between Word Grammar (WG) and Construction Grammar (CG). We first of all argue that the two frameworks share all of their fundamental assumptions, naming specifically the following: a requirement to deal with ‘noncore’ as well as central patterns, rejection of the traditional division between rules and separate lexical items, declarative monostratal gr...
متن کاملWord Order Acquisition in Persian Speaking Children
Objectives: Persian is a pro-drop language with canonical Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. This study investigates the acquisition of word order in Persian-speaking children. Methods: In the present study, participants were 60 Persian-speaking children (30 girls and 30 boys) with typically developing language skills, and aged between 30-47 months. The 30-minute language samples were audio...
