It has previously been shown that transitive verbs are more difficult to recall than intransitive. Experiment I replicated this finding. Experiment II examined the associations to, and response latencies of, transitive and intransitive verbs. Latencies of responses did not differ, but the form class of responses was significantly different. Transitive verbs elicited more noun responses. It is s...

Mendriq is a moribund language spoken by Orang Asli in Kuala Lah, Kelantan, Malaysia. This language is spoken by only 245 people in three villages, namely Kampung Kuala Lah, Kampung Baru and Kampung Kuala Stail. This paper analyzes transitive and intransitive verb phrases in Mendriq. The primary data of Mendriq language were obtained through fieldwork funded by a research grant (UKM-GUP-PLW-08-...

This study addresses the question whether prosodic information can affect the choice for a syntactic analysis in auditory sentence processing. We manipulated the prosody (in the form of a prosodic break; PB) of locally ambiguous Dutch sentences to favor one of two interpretations. The experimental items contained two different types of so-called control verbs (subject and object control) in the...

Four experiments support the hypothesis that syntactically relevant information about verbs is encoded in the lexicon in semantic event templates. A verb's event template represents the participants in an event described by the verb and the relations among the participants. The experiments show that lexical decision times are longer for verbs with more complex templates than verbs with less com...

time, aspect, person, number and active and middle voices are the categories based on which the verbal structure of the ancient iranian languages are studied. according to the prevailing viewpoint, middle voice is the means by which a transitive root is changed to an intransitive one. this viewpoint has its origin in the verbal roots transitive when conjugated in the active voice and intransiti...

Unaccusativity, or split intransitivity, refers to the generalization that intransitive verbs divide into two subclasses, unaccusatives and unergatives. While the core arguments of unaccusatives share common properties with direct objects of transitive verbs, the core arguments of unergatives do so with transitive subjects. The Unaccusative Hypothesis (Perlmutter 1978; Burzio 1986) accounts for...

this study explores the person/number suffixes in laki in a descriptive-analytic method. having a broad distribution, these suffixes can attach to subject and object nps, prepositions, and verbs. by considering the uniform syntactic behavior of subjects of transitive and intransitive predicates and it’s contrast with the behavior of objects of transitive predicates, the authors show that these ...
