Towards a Lexical-Constructional Account of the Locative Alternation
Following Fillmore’s (1968) discussion of verbs exhibiting different argument realization patterns, a number of syntactic studies have analyzed the spray-load alternation (e.g., Pinker 1989, Levin 1993, Dowty 2000) in different ways. One account that differs from primarily syntactically oriented analyses is Goldberg’s (1995) Construction Grammar approach. It proposes that multiple argument real...
متن کاملLexical Fillers Influence the Dative Alternation: Estimating Constructional Saliency Using Web Document Frequencies
We propose a new measure of constructional saliency for use with Web-data, which corrects for infrequent forms. The measure attempts to incorporate both collocational information as well as frequency of use for the whole construction. We report on results for a case study of the so-called dative alternation in English, and show that our measure of saliency indicates that not only do specific ve...
متن کاملA Frame-Based Semantics of Locative Alternation in LTAG
In this paper we present an analysis of locative alternation phenomena in Russian and English within a frame-based LTAG syntax-semantics interface. The combination of a syntactic theory with an extended domain of locality and frames provides a powerful mechanism for argument linking. Furthermore, the concept of tree families and unanchored trees in LTAG allows for a decomposition of meaning int...
متن کاملTheta-head binding in the German locative alternation
In this paper, we analyze the locative alternation of the spray/load-type with beprefixation in German on the basis of the analysis of free datives proposed in Hole (2008, 2012, 2014). We argue that both structures involve obligatory variable binding in a local domain, triggered by a functional theta head. The core of our analysis elaborates upon Kratzer’s (2009) proposal to implement reflexivi...
متن کاملValence Alternation without Lexical Rules
Valence changing lexical rules are a problematic component of constraint-based grammar formalisms. Lexical rules of this type are procedural, require defaults, and may easily lead to spurious ambiguity. Relational constraints can be used to eliminate such rules. The relational approach does not require defaults, is declarative, avoids spurious ambiguity, and can be an integrated part of a hiera...
