Constructional Meaning and Compositionality
One of the major motivations for constructional approaches to grammar is that a given rule of syntactic formation can sometimes, in fact often, be associated with more than one semantic specification. For example, a pair of expressions like purple plum and alleged thief 25 call on different rules of semantic combination. The first involves something closely related to intersection of sets: a pu...
متن کاملA Case of Constructional Polysemy in Latin
In this paper, I will examine the syntactic and semantic properties of a Latin correlative construction, the so-called comparative conditional. I will investigate the extent to which this construction inherits its formal and interpretive features from constructions needed independently in the grammar. While the syntactic properties of the comparative conditional are highly motivated, the semant...
متن کاملConstructional Compositionality and the English Resultative
Recent work on grammatical constructions in English (Lakoff 1987, Goldberg 1995, Kay & Fillmore 1999, Fillmore, Kay & O’Connor 1988) has provided strong evidence that the meaning of an utterance is not always derivable from its lexical parts and that the semantics of a sentence is partly comprised of meaning ascribed to syntactic constructions. Lacking in most of these accounts, however, is a d...
متن کاملVerbal Polysemy in Automatic Annotation
The linguistic theory of Applicative and Cognitive Grammar analyses the language in three levels as follows: the linguistic level, the predicative level, and the semanticocognitive level. The meaning of the words is described at the semanticocognitive level. Here we give the description of the verbal semantics in order to build a lemmatized lexicon of polysemic words. On the one hand, the conte...
متن کاملAutomatic Recognition of Verbal Polysemy
Polysemy is one of the major causes of difficulties in selnantic clustering of words in a corpus. In this paper, we first; give a definition of polysemy from the viewpoint of clustering and then, b~rsed on this definition, we propose a clustering method which reeognises verbal 1)olysemics from a textual corpus. The results of experiments denmnst ra te the effectiveness of the proI)osed method. ...
