This is a book about . . . . It is a history of hesitations, interruptions and omissions in literary texts. More specifically, it is about the marks that make manifest literature’s lapses into silence. Silence has been defined as the nonsymbolic. This book demonstrates nonetheless writers’ persistent need for routine symbols that express communicative dependence on the non-verbal. The subject o...

this paper presents an attempt to analyze the verb phrase ellipsis in persian in terms of the questions of identity and licensing. assuming a minimalist framework for the analysis, it is argued that verb phrase ellipsis in persian is structurally licensed by a governing head which takes vp as its complement, through an algorithm of e(llipsis)-feature deletion at pf. it is also shown that struct...

The present study investigates morphological agreement in L2 Greek verbal and nominal domains by L1 Russian, Bulgarian, and Turkish speakers, with various features such as person, number, gender, and case involved, following Tsimpli et al. 2005. Russian, Bulgarian, and Greek are similar in terms of phi-feature agreement, but different from Turkish. A further distinction will be made for the L2 ...

Light verb constructions (LVCs) pose a serious challenge for both theoretical and applied linguistics as their syntactic structures are not solely determined by verbs alone but also by predicative nouns. In this contribution, we introduce an initial step to a new formal lexicographic representation of LVCs for the valency lexicon of Czech verbs, VALLEX. The main idea underlying our representati...

This paper presents the linguistic resources and tools for the shallow processing of Portuguese developed in the scope of a research intitiative at the University of Lisbon. These resources include a 1 million token corpus that has been accurately hand annotated with a variety of linguistic information, as well as several state-of-the-art shallow processing tools capable of automatically produc...

INTRODUCTION Recent research on the language of children of SLI shows a marked delay in their acquisition of grammatical morphemes, especially those associated with the verbal system (e.g., Rice and Oetting, 1993; Rice, Wexler and Cleaver, 1996). In English, the nominal system is morphologically poorer than the verbal system, which may account for the discrepancy observed in the two systems of ...

While the choice of morphological markers is lexically determined and highly idiosyncratic – fahren/Fahrt (drive/drive) vs. erklären/Erklärung (explain/explanation)-, syntactic combination follows general rules: the verb assigns nominative and accusative case to the subject and direct object, the derived noun systematically requires genitive case for both complements. These observations exhaust...

Without properly constraining recursions in generation, no language system can effectively operate. This is especially so with morphological generation, for each well-formed word must be finite in length and is accepted as such only when it actually occurs in text or ordinary usage. This difficulty is compounded when a language system tries to maintain a single rule of concatenation and apply i...

We propose a non-clausal decision procedure for classical propositional logic. It is a generalization of the Davis-Putnam procedure and deals with formulae which are not necessarily in clausal form. Since there is no need to translate the investigated formula into normal form, we avoid increasing its size but preserve its structure. This will in general lead to a much smaller search space and t...
