This study examined the processing of two types of Japanese causative cleft constructions (subject-gap vs. object-gap) by conducting an event-related brain potential (ERP) experiment to clarify the processing mechanism of long-distance dependencies. The results demonstrated that the subject-gap constructions elicited larger P600 effects compared with object-gap constructions. Based on these fin...

We revisit quantum institutions as in [2] and solve some problems identified therein. Global, probabilistic and quantum exogenous enrichments of logics are adapted to a new notion of global model. For simplicity sake, all the constructions are presented in the realm of satisfaction systems, which proves to be an appropriate framework for defining the new logics. It also provides suitable constr...

Support verb constructions range from idiosyncratic to predictable. Lexical functions provide a solution to translation of idiosyncratic constructions only. Our corpus research aims to contribute to automatic translation of support verb constructions where the verb selects certain semantic groups of collocates, and where novel collocations can be expected. We investigate samples of support verb...
