Verb Classes and Alternations
In this report, we investigate the relationship between the semantic and syntactic properties of verbs. Our work is based on the English Verb Classes and Alternations of (Levin, 1993). We explore how these classes are manifested in other languages, in particular, in Bangla, German, and Korean. Our report includes a survey and classiication of several hundred verbs from these languages into the ...
متن کاملInheriting Verb Alternations
The paper shows how the verbal lexicon can be formalised in a way that captures and exploits generalisations about the alternation behaviour of verb classes. An alternation is a pattern in which a number of words share the same relationship between • a pair of senses. The alternations captured are ones where the different senses specify different relationships between syntactic complements and ...
متن کاملVerb movement and VSO-VOS alternations*
This paper discusses an approach to syntax that offers a new perspective on verbinitial languages that allow both VSO and VOS orders. A central assumption is that word order is not rigidly determined by structure. The predictions of this model are discussed in the context of St'át'imcets, Chamorro and Tongan. A comparison with several alternative analyses of VSO-VOS alternations shows that this...
متن کاملPredicting innovative alternations in Korean verb paradigms
In Korean verbal inflection, all forms in the paradigm (A-suffix, C-suffix, or ɨ-suffix forms) suffer from neutralization of some lexical contrasts, and there is no single form of the paradigm from which one can correctly predict all the other forms in the paradigm. Nevertheless, a survey of child errors and historical change show that the attested reanalyses are overwhelmingly based on ambigui...
متن کاملA Generative Perspective on Verb Alternations
Verb alternations have been researched extensively in linguistics, but they have not yet received a systematic treatment in natural language generation systems; consequently, generators cannot make informed choices among alternatives. As a step towards overcoming this discrepancy, we review some linguistic work on several prominent alternations, revise and extend it, and suggest a set of rules ...
