Extraposition as Parallel Construal ∗
Extraposition phenomena are traditionally accounted for by extraposition rules, possibly as instances of "move alpha". According to the more recent developments of generative grammar, such as Chomsky's minimalism (1995) and Kayne's antisymmetry theory (1994), extraposition rules are problematic and no longer permitted in any obvious sense. In this article, I will show that there are also numero...
متن کاملExtraposition Grammars
This paper presents a grammar formalism for natural language analysis, called extraposition grammars (XGs), based on the subset of predicate calculus known as definite, or Horn, clauses. It is argued that certain important linguistic phenomena, collectively known in t ransformational grammar as left extraposition, can be described better in XGs than in earlier grammar formalisms based on defini...
متن کاملEnglish Object Extraposition: A Constraint-Based Approach
According to the Projection Principle (Chomsky 1981), expletives have no semantic content and thus cannot occur in theta-marked positions. However, there are many examples where expletive it appears as a direct object, in violation of the Projection Principle. The various attempts that have been made to account for such cases (e.g. the case-based analysis of Authier (1991), the predication anal...
متن کاملExtraposition via Complex Domain Formation
We propose a novel approach to extraposition in German within an alternative conception of syntax in which syntactic structure and linear order are mediated not via encodings of hierarchical relations but instead via order domains. At the heart of our proposal is a new kind of domain formation which affords analyses of extraposition constructions that are linguistically more adequate than those...
متن کاملTractability issues in extraposition grammar
Extraposition Grammar (XG) was introduced in Per81] as a grammar formalism whose increase in recognizing power over context free grammars is limited to mechanisms for adequate description of structural phenomena occurring in natural language. This paper proposes versions of XG whose xed recognition problems are in deterministic polynomial and exponential time; furthermore it is shown that the u...
