Nominalizations in German Support Verb Constructions
Nominalizations in German Support Verb Constructions Angelika Storrer TU Dortmund ___________________________________________________________________________ Support verb constructions (SVC), such as to take a risk or to set into motion, are composed of a support verb (SV, e.g. take, set) and a predicative noun (PredN, e.g. risk, motion), which is – in most cases – a nominalization of a verb or...
متن کاملWord Order Constraints on German Verb Clusters
There is a broad concensus among researchers working within the paradigm of HPSG that argument-inheritance (Hinrichs and Nakazawa (1989; 1994)) is an essential operation in the analysis of so-called verb clusters in German. An argument-inheritance verb subcategorizes for an unsaturated verbal complement, and for all the complements on the COMPS-list of this verbal complement. In German, auxilia...
متن کاملIssues in Translating Verb-Particle Constructions from German to English
In this paper, we investigate difficulties in translating verb-particle constructions from German to English. We analyse the structure of German VPCs and compare them to VPCs in English. In order to find out if and to what degree the presence of VPCs causes problems for statistical machine translation systems, we collected a set of 59 verb pairs, each consisting of a German VPC and a synonymous...
متن کاملConstructions License Verb Frames
Where does a verb’s frame come from? The obvious answer is the verb itself, and this is the answer that syntacticians have traditionally provided, whether they describe predicator-argument relations as syntactic sisterhood relations or as lexical properties (the predicator’s combinatoric potential, or valence). Thus, Haegeman, in her introduction to Government and Binding theory, states, “the t...
متن کاملVerb-Particle Constructions in Questions
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of verb-particle constructions in English questions. We present a small dataset that contains questions and verb-particle construction candidates. We demonstrate that there are significant differences in the distribution of WH-words, verbs and prepositions/particles in sentences that contain VPCs and sentences that contain only verb + prepositional phr...
