Prosodic Disambiguation of Participle Constructions in English
We report the results of one written and one auditory study that examined prosodic effects on resolving the ambiguity of participle constructions in English (e.g., Aaron followed a poor guy drinking his soda). These participle constructions behave similarly to the ambiguous prepositional phrases that can be attached to the verb phrase or to the immediately preceding noun. In the literature, the...
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 ...
متن کاملThematic role focusing by participle inflections: evidence from conceptual combination.
The authors examined how people integrate knowledge of agents and patients of events with the temporal and causal properties of present and past participles to constrain interpretation of isolated participle-noun phrases like arresting cop and arrested crook. Good-agent head nouns were more easily combined with present participles (e.g., arresting cop) than with past participles (e.g., arrested...
متن کاملFunctional Projections in Finnish Non-Finite Constructions
It is an open question whether the functional projections above the VP projection are the same, either across languages or within a single language. Based on the morphosyntactic evidence in Finnish, and following Baker’s (1985) Mirror Principle, the functional projections of the non-finite clause differ from those of the finite clause, although both types of clauses contain a VP projection. Thi...
متن کاملHybrid Syntactic Category Induction
Much research has been devoted to the task of learning lexical classes from unannotated input text. Among the chief difficulties facing any approach to the unsupervised induction of lexical classes are that of token-level ambiguity and the classification of rare and unknown words. Following the work of previous authors, the initial stage of syntactic category induction is treated in the current...
