This paper deals with the formation of complex predicates and some interesting scrambling facts in Korean. First, we extend the notion of complex predicates to include various noun-verb combinations by providing syntactic and semantic evidence. Within the HPSG framework, we then propose a general schema based on argument composition, which can be used for different types of complex predicates. ...

1 Abstract In this paper we present a GB-parsing system for German and in particular its strategy for argument interpretation, which copes with the diiculty that word order is relatively free in German (due to scrambling) and also that the arguments can precede their predicate. In this case, the parser makes a provisional interpretation, which is checked when the argument structure of the predi...

Italian displays a scrambling pattern where the structure of the constituent following a postverbal focus affects which of its components can scramble before the focus . The actual governing factor is the prosodic phrasing projected by the postfocal constituent. Scrambling is only possible when it improves the stress alignment with the right boundary of the intonational phrase wrapping the sent...

With the rapid development of image production and applications, image security has become very important. Traditional image encryption algorithms, such as Arnold transform is used widely, but it has the defect of long transform periodicity, which costs large time and computation memory. Therefore, based on the analysis of the defect of traditional image scrambling methods, a novel hybrid encry...

The reconstruction effects1 of arguments have been discussed extensively in the literature. The theory developed in Mahajan 1990 addresses Hindi scrambling and accounts for reconstruction effects of arguments. The core of that theory is that scrambling is properly factored into three distinct types of movement: (i) A-movement to the SPEC position of a functional head, called Argument Shift, (ii...
