Statistical Measures Of The Semi-Productivity Of Light Verb Constructions
We propose a statistical measure for the degree of acceptability of light verb constructions, such as take a walk, based on their linguistic properties. Our measure shows good correlations with human ratings on unseen test data. Moreover, we find that our measure correlates more strongly when the potential complements of the construction (such as walk, stroll, or run) are separated into semanti...
متن کاملLinguistic categorization and complexity
This paper presents a memoryless categorization learner that predicts differences in category complexity found in several psycholinguistic and psychological experiments. In particular, this learner predicts the order of difficulty of learning simple Boolean categories, including the advantage of conjunctive categories over the disjunctive ones (an advantage that is not typically modeled by the ...
متن کاملa cross-linguistic analysis of impersonal constructions
extended abstract 1. introduction the diversity of impersonal constructions and the different approaches used in studying them have caused different and sometimes contradictory positions about their classification and the explanation of grammatical and semantic roles of their components. this article reveals the necessity of studying them with a new approach which pursues a common basis coverin...
متن کاملAcquiring Linguistic Constructions
therefore, these categories become more abstract with them. Another important part of the process of grammatical development is the construction of paradigmatic categories such as noun and verb. Unlike syntactic roles, paradigmatic categories are not explicitly marked in language. That is, whereas such things as agent/subject are symbolically indicated by word order or grammatical morphology in...
متن کاملLinguistic experience and productivity:
Morphological productivity (roughly: the readiness with which a word formation process forms new words) has long been one of the central mysteries of morphology. There are many detailed qualitative descriptions of word formation processes that list the restrictions for the possible bases for an affix (like the restriction that -able attaches to verbs in English) or the restrictions on a given c...
