On the Case of Predicative Complements in Czech

چکیده
Yet their theoretical account in some more prominent modern syntactic theories, including Principles and Parameters (P&P; Chomsky 1995 and references therein) and Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG; Pollard and Sag 1987, 1994), seems to be problematic. Both theories assume a clear distinction between raising to subject (SR) and so-called Exceptional Case Marking (ECM; here called raising to object, or OR) constructions, as in (2), on the one hand, and subject control (SC) and object control (OC) constructions, as in (3) and (1) above, on the other hand.

Distribution of Valency Complements in Czech Complex Predicates: Between Verb and Noun
In this paper, we focus on Czech complex predicates formed by a light verb and a predicative noun expressed as the direct object. Although Czech – as an inflectional language encoding syntactic relations via morphological cases – provides an excellent opportunity to study the distribution of valency complements in the syntactic structure with complex predicates, this distribution has not been d...
متن کاملTheory of Meaning in Commenting Predicative Qualities
The verses of predicative qualities have considered as a notable challenge of the ambiguous verses. Various views have been presented in the field of which the theories of real qualification and hermeneutics may be known as the most famous. Some have expanded the meaning to explain the predicative qualities; the fact of which two views occurred: one is 'putting words for the spirits of meanings...
متن کاملOn the Agreement between Predicative Complements and their Target
Predicative complements canonically show number and/or gender agreement with their target. The most detailed proposal on how to model it in HPSG is in Kathol (1999). This proposal, though, mainly deals with the predicative adjectives of the Romance languages, and turns out to be rather inappropriate for dealing with predicate nominals. There is an obvious way to repair it, but it cannot be fitt...
متن کاملAt the Lexicon-Grammar Interface: The Case of Complex Predicates in the Functional Generative Description
Complex predicates with light verbs have proven to be very challenging for syntactic theories, particularly due to the tricky distribution of valency complementations of light verbs and predicative nouns (or other predicative units) in their syntactic structure. We propose a theoretically adequate and economical representation of complex predicates with Czech light verbs based on a division of ...
متن کاملNew Scope for Research in Traditional and Non-conventional Medicine; Comment on “Substitutes or Complements? Diagnosis and Treatment with Non-conventional and Conventional Medicine”
The article takes its cue from models of quantitative research applied to complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) and pinpoints some innovative features in the case at issue (Portugal). It goes on to outline new research scenarios moving beyond the either biomedical or CAM framework.
