Complex Predicates in Arrernte
Using the example of Murrinh-Patha, Seiss (2011) illustrates how Australian Aboriginal languages can shed light on the morphology-syntax interface: one aspect of their polysynthetic nature is that information often encoded in phrases and clauses in other languages is instead found in a single morphological word. In this paper, we look at another instance, the Australian Aboriginal language Arre...
متن کاملComplex Predicates in Focus
Persian and Turkish exhibit a number of striking similarities: (a) many verbal concepts are expressed by complex predicates (CPr), consisting of a non-verbal (NV) element and a light verb (LV) (Foli et al 2005, Megerdoomian 2002, Kornfilt 2003), (b) both languages exhibit scrambling, and (c) they both mark direct objects for specificity (Karimi 2005, Enc 1991). However, there are also some impo...
متن کاملSplit complex predicates in Persian
Complex predicates, or compound verbs, constitute a major portion of verbal forms in the Persian language. They are normally formed using a noun, adjective, preposition, or prepositional phrase, followed by a light verb. Unlike many other languages that employ such constructions, Persian allows the two components to become separated. This paper will investigate where complex predicates syntacti...
متن کاملConstructing Spanish Complex Predicates
Abeillé and Godard (2007) describe a variety of Spanish whose complex predicates differ structurally from the more familiar flat VP type of complex predicate common to other varieties of Spanish and Romance. I present a verb cluster analysis of this variety which both captures these structural differences, and at the same time preserves those features that are common across both construction ty...
متن کاملHindi Aspectual Complex Predicates
This paper discusses ergative case assignment in Hindi and its interaction with aspectual verb complexes or complex predicate constructions. It is shown that ergative case is assigned by the last head in the aspectual verb complex and that ergative case on the subject of intransitive verbs denoting bodily-functions is associated with a counter-to-expectation meaning. It is then shown that aspec...
