Non-projectivity and valency
We describe results of investigation of a specific type of discontinuous constructions, namely non-projective constructions concerning verbs and their arguments. This topic is especially important for languages with a relatively free word order, such as Czech, which is the language we have primarily worked with. For comparison, we have included some results for English. The corpora used for bot...
متن کاملReflexive Verbs in a Valency Lexicon: The Case of Czech Reflexive Morphemes
In this paper, we deal with Czech reflexive verbs from the lexicographic point of view. We show that the Czech reflexive morphemes se and si constitute different linguistic meanings: either they are formal means of the word formation process of the so called reflexivization, or they are associated with the syntactic phenomena of reflexivity, reciprocity, and diatheses. All of these processes ar...
متن کاملTongan -‘i: Increasing Transitivity in Valency and Aspect
The Tongan suffix -‘i has been variously analyzed as a transitivizer, a passive suffix, a perfective suffix, and a modifier of verbal semantics. It has a variety of effects on the valency and aspect of the verb to which it is affixed. The One Form/One Meaning Principle (Johns 1992) suggests that these various effects should be linked together. I show that the apparently divergent functions of -...
متن کاملOn the Non-canonical Valency Filling
Valency slot filling is a semantic glue, which brings together the meanings of words. As regards the position of an argument in the dependency structure with respect to its predicate, there exist three types of valency filling: active (canonical), passive, and discontinuous. Of these, the first type is studied much better than the other two. As a rule, canonical actants are unambiguously marked...
متن کاملMorphemes and Lexemes versus “ Morphemes or Lexemes ? ”
More than a century after the first linguistic definition of the notion of morpheme by Baudoin de Courtenay (1895) and Sweet (1876), an ever-lasting debate – which I shall refer here as the “Morpheme or Lexeme” (M or L) debate – on the nature of linguistic bricks is still going on. Since a by-product of this debate is terminological confusion in the use of the four notions of morpheme, lexeme, ...
