Adjunction, Phases, and Complex Predicates in Japanese
I provide a unified account of a constraint on adjunction observed in three complex predicate constructions in Japanese: (i) restructuring motion verb constructions, (ii) light verb constructions, (iii) infinitives with wasure‘forget’. It is shown that adjunction (i.e. adverbial modification, adjectival modification, and quantifier raising) in the lower projections are impossible in these const...
متن کاملLate Adjunction and Minimalist Phrase Structure
An algorithm of phrase structure building is proposed within the bare phrase structure framework. The algorithm is rooted in the idea that applications of Merge -the operation that combines syntactic objects -should not change the set of basic relations (in particular, c-command) in the existing structure, what Chomsky (2000) terms 'Least Tampering'. Under the proposed algorithm, this idea tran...
متن کاملWeight-by-Position Adjunction and Syllable Structure
Most cross-linguistic variation in weight criteria is attributed to the parameterized application of Weight-by-Position adjunction to codas on a language-specific basis (Hayes 1989). This paper explores the hypothesis that coda weight is ultimately predictable from syllable structure. An extensive survey of quantity-sensitive stress systems shows that languages that allow a proportionately larg...
متن کاملRomance complex predicates: phrasal and functional structure
Recently there has been much work in surface constraint-based frameworks on complex predicate constructions (causative and light verb constructions), that are found in Romance and other languages. Manning et al. forthcoming). The enthusiasm for this area comes from the fact that these constructions contradict certain of the assumptions of early work in surface constraint-based frameworks. Never...
متن کاملExotic structures and adjunction inequality
Theorem 1.1. ([E]) Let X = B ∪ (1-handles) ∪ (2-handles) be four-dimensional handlebody with one 0-handle and no 3or 4-handles. Then • The standard symplectic structure on B can be extended over 1-handles so that manifold X1 = B 4 ∪ (1-handles) is a compact Stein domain. • If each 2-handle is attached to ∂X1 along a Legendrian knot with framing one less then Thurston-Bennequin framing of this k...
