French Tough-Movement Infinitives as Deverbal Nominals
In this paper, we argue that predicates of the tough-class in French embed not a verbal infinitive but rather, a gerundive verbal noun. This hypothesis allows us to capture a number of unexpected restrictions on French tough-movement discussed by Legendre (1986). We show that these restrictions are best described as the inability of French tough-movement infinitives to be followed by complement...
متن کاملHow Synchronous are Adjuncts in Translation Data?
The argument-adjunct distinction is central to most syntactic and semantic theories. As optional elements that refine (the meaning of) a phrase, adjuncts are important for recursive, compositional accounts of syntax, semantics and translation. In formal accounts of machine translation, adjuncts are often treated as modifiers applying synchronously in source and target derivations. But how well ...
متن کاملOrthogonal-Ordering Constraints are Tough
We show that rectilinear graph drawing, the core problem of bendminimum orthogonal graph drawing, and uniform edge-length drawing, the core problem of force-directed placement, are NP-hard even for embedded paths if subjected to orthogonal-ordering constraints. Submitted: June 2010 Reviewed: April 2011 Revised: September 2012 Accepted: November 2012 Final: December 2012 Published: January 2013 ...
متن کاملImproper Movement in Tough Constructions and Gapped Degree Phrases
Broadly, this paper proposes that both TCs and GDPs are improper movement constructions, where an Ā-movement step precedes an A-movement step in the same movement chain. However, TCs and GDPs are not identical constructions. TCs involve (improper) movement of an overt DP from the embedded clause into the matrix clause, while GDPs involve (improper) movement of a null operator within the embedde...
متن کاملPredicting is not explaining: targeted learning of the dative alternation
Corpus linguists dig into large-scale collections of texts to better understand the rules governing a given language. We advocate for ambitious corpus linguistics drawing inspiration from the latest developments of semiparametrics for a modern targeted learning. Transgressing discipline-specific borders, we adapt an approach that has proven successful in biostatistics and apply it to the well-t...
