Exceptive Phrases in Romanian. A Fragment-based Analysis
In the past 25 years EPs have been paid particular attention, thanks to the pioneering studies of Jacob Hoeksema (for instance, Hoeksema 1987). Presently, we already dispose of in-depth studies about the semantics of EPs (Moltmann 1995, Lappin 1996, Garcia Álvarez 2008). As for grammatical aspects of EPs, they came under focus more recently. A peculiar direction of research stimulated by the pa...
متن کاملConstructions Across Time and Space: Perspective Constructions
The German standard language and some of its dialects distinguish two types of directional adverbs, depending on the perspective taken in the speech event.

متن کاملExclamative constructions
Exclamative constructions form a variegated class, both within and across languages. This article presents a typological survey of the coding of exclamations. This survey will proceed in the following fashion. First, we will explore the conceptual basis of the category exclamation, and in particular the category of degree exclamations (section 2). Second, we will examine the formal, semantic an...
متن کاملOptimal Constructions∗
This paper deals with a well-known problem in the discussion of argument linking, the flexibility that we find with particular verbs, and the constraints governing the integration of verbs with so-called argument structure constructions. We will show that traditional approaches as well as construction grammar need additional machinery to deal with variable argument linking. I will present an op...
