Morphology consuming Syntax' Resources: Generation and Parsing in a Minimalist Version of Distributed Morphology
نویسنده
چکیده
Distributed Morphology (DM) as presented in Halle & Marantz (1993) shows a bewildering variety of rule types. In this paper I present a formalization of DM in which the main part of its rule inventory is reduced to one single operation: Vocabulary Insertion. Extending proposals by Noyer (1997) and Halle (1997) vocabulary insertion is assumed to be iterable and to consume featural resources, whenever it is applicated. I show that this interpretation gives rise to simple algorithms for the generation and parsing of DM expressions.

On the Syntax andMorphology of Double Agreement in Lavukaleve
This paper investigates certain aspects of the syntax andmorphology of argument encoding in Lavukaleve in a theory of grammar in which morphology interprets the output of syntax (Halle &Marantz (1993, 1994), Noyer (1992), Harley &Noyer (2003)). I provide a syntactic analysis that is pursued within the framework of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky (2000, 2001)) and a comprehensive analysis of inf...
متن کاملMorphological Agreement in Minimalist Grammars
Minimalist Grammars provide a useful tool for modeling natural language syntax by defining grammar fragments in a very precise way. As a formalization of the Minimalist Program, they can accommodate linguistic analyses from the field of generative syntax. However, they have no machinery for encoding agreement; while morphology can be simulated by multiplying lexical items, there is no systemati...

متن کاملLearnability in a Minimalist Framework: Root Compounds, Merger, and the Syntax-Morphology Interface
The Minimalist Program in syntactic theory seeks to factor cross-linguistic variation out of the syntax, and entirely into other grammatical components, chiefly the lexicon and the interfaces with semantics and phonetics. At the same time, current Minimalist research accords a central role to the operation of "Merge," a generalized transformation combining two autonomous subtrees as daughters o...

One-to-many relations play a crucial role in two major research areas of current grammatical theory: quirky identity and paucity of resources. This volume collects ten papers addressing these topics from different perspectives, focussing on new theoretical approaches to long-standing empirical problems. The ideas and analyses documented in these contributions have emerged in the context of the ...
