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 کاملExtraposition and Definiteness Effects in Icelandic Dps
This paper investigates the morphosyntax of the Icelandic DP following work by Sigurðsson (1993, 2006); Julien (2005). In addition to providing an analysis of the basic structure of the Icelandic DP, this paper investigates two (apparent) movements within the DP: one involving the definite article suffix -inn, and one involving pronominal possessors (e.g., minn ‘my’). I show that the fronting o...
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...
