Japanese aspectual verbs have previously been analyzed as control and raising verbs, with their different syntactic behaviors derived from the control/raising distinction. This paper argues against the control/raising analysis of Japanese aspectual verbs, showing that the standard diagnostics do not support the presumed control/raising distinction among Japanese aspectual verbs. As an alternati...

German particle verbs are a type of multi word expression which is often compositional with respect to a base verb. If they are compositional they tend to express the same types of semantic arguments, but they do not necessarily express them in the same syntactic subcategorization frame: some arguments may be expressed by differing syntactic subcategorization slots and other arguments may be on...

this study aims to investigate the semantic and syntactic features of verbs used in the introduction section of applied linguistics research articles published in iranian and international journals. a corpus of 20 research article introductions (10 from each journal) was used. the corpus was analysed for the syntactic features (tense, aspect and voice) and semantic meaning of verbs. the finding...

study, taking truly independent ratings to see which verbs participants considered to be denominal or deverbal (i.e. exocentric or not). The results of this new experiment were clear. The semantic similarity (or otherwise) of verbs-incontext to ordinary irregular usage predicted the acceptability of past-tense forms. Whether or not verbs were perceived to be exocentric was irrelevant to this. I...

the current paper is an outlook toward lexical aspect and its types exist as a semantic parameter in verb and indicate trend of doing task of verb in terms of continuance, iteration, duration etc. although discourse aspect is considered as independent factor in verb morphology, but the resultant syntactic reflection does not solely corresponds to grammatical aspect; instead, it includes lexical...

This paper examines the current performance of the stochastic tagger PARTS (Church 88) in handling phrasal verbs, describes a problem that arises from the statistical model used, and suggests a way to improve the tagger's performance. The solution involves a change in the definition of what counts as a word for the purpose of tagging phrasal verbs. 1. I N T R O D U C T I O N Statistical taggers...

Particle verbs have challenged linguistic analysis because of their unique and sometimes contradictory characteristics. A verb particle combination behaves like a complex V 0 in some respects. For instance, on the one hand, the semantics of look up (the information) is not compositionally transparent and thus must be stored in the lexicon. Some morphosyntactic properties also indicate that a pa...
