The Classification of Participles: a Statistical Study
نویسنده
چکیده
Understanding participles is a major requisite for the NT scholar. This study surveys the many ways participles are used in the Greek NT and the frequency of occurrence of each functional type. Attention is given to the structural patterns involved and the significance of these classifications. Eighteen categories are distinguished, nine of adjectival uses and nine of verbal uses. The special feature of this study is the statistical information provided, which points out the relative importance of the various types; more detailed discussion of the adverbial, the genitive absolute, the periphrastic, and the imperatival categories is provided. * * *

Premodifying -ing participles in the parsed BNC
In this article we will focus on premodifying -ing participles in English. By premodifying -ing participles we refer to NP-internal -ing forms, such as the ones found in a charming man or a barking dog. Our first goal is to see how these participles are used in four registers of Present-Day English: academic prose, newspaper articles, fiction and conversations. Furthermore, we will attempt to f...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Induction for Deep Broad-Coverage Syntax: A Case Study on German Participles
This paper is a case study on cross-lingual induction of lexical resources for deep, broad-coverage syntactic analysis of German. We use a parallel corpus to induce a classifier for German participles which can predict their syntactic category. By means of this classifier, we induce a resource of adverbial participles from a huge monolingual corpus of German. We integrate the resource into a Ge...
متن کاملOn the Structure of Resultative Participles in English
The article examines the structure of resultative participles in English: participles that denote a state resulting from a prior event, such as The cake is flattened or The metal is hammered. The analysis identifies distinct stative participles that derive from the different heights at which aspectual morphemes attach in a verbalizing structure. The Aspect head involved in resultative participl...
متن کاملA Cross-Lingual Induction Technique for German Adverbial Participles
We provide a detailed comparison of strategies for implementing medium-tolow frequency phenomena such as German adverbial participles in a broadcoverage, rule-based parsing system. We show that allowing for general adverb conversion of participles in the German LFG grammar seriously affects its overall performance, due to increased spurious ambiguity. As a solution, we present a corpus-based cr...
متن کاملAlexander Kravchenko FUNCTIONAL/COGNITIVE ASYMMETRY OF RUSSIAN PARTICIPLES AND KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION
The meaning and function of two verbals as well as syntactic constraints on their use are analyzed. It is shown that the treatment of participles in traditional grammar is inadequate as the constraining mechanisms are not explained and their relationship to the grammatical meaning of participles is not accounted for. A cognitive approach in the framework of a cognitive theory of tense and aspec...
