On the (un)bearable Lightness of Being an Lfg Style Copula in Hungarian
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops the first comprehensive LFG analysis of the five most important types of copula constructions in Hungarian. I basically adopt Dalrymple et al.’s (2004) programmatic view, which admits diversity both in c-structure and in f-structure across and within languages, and which postulates that the “postcopular” constituent can be the functional cohead of the copula, in which case the copula itself is only a formative, it can have the open XCOMP function and it can also have the closed PREDLINK function. (This contrasts with Butt et al.’s (1999) and Attia’s (2008) uniform PREDLINK approach at the fstructure level.) On the basis of the behavior of the construction types in question, I employ the functional cohead device, the PREDLINK tool (but not as the only uniform tool); however, (contrary to Dalrymple et al. (2004)) I claim that there is no need for the XCOMP treatment. At the same time, I also argue that in the case of some construction types, it is most appropriate to assume that the postcopular constituent has an OBL function.

A Unified Analysis of Copula Constructions in Lfg
In this paper we maintain that a unified analysis of the copula constructions in LFG is necessary to capture syntactic generalizations. We discuss the various options available in the LFG literature and investigate their feasibility in order to arrive at the most appropriate representation. In doing so, we make use of the concepts and mechanisms already available in the framework of LFG without...
متن کاملHungarian Copula Constructions in Dependency Syntax and Parsing
Copula constructions are problematic in the syntax of most languages. The paper describes three different dependency syntactic methods for handling copula constructions: function head, content head and complex label analysis. Furthermore, we also propose a POS-based approach to copula detection. We evaluate the impact of these approaches in computational parsing, in two parsing experiments for ...
