Nominal Roots as Event Predicates in English Denominal Conversion Verbs
Despite the high productivity in English of denominal verb formation by conversion, a constraint on possible interpretations is identified: intransitive denominal conversion verbs are infelicitous where the source nominal is intended to be an incremental theme (#apple ‘eat apple’), a patient (#shirt ‘wear shirt’), or the holder of a result state (#window ‘open window’). This little-studied cons...
متن کاملAdjectival versus Nominal categorization processes: The Rule versus Similarity hypothesis
This paper presents the thesis that adjectives and nouns trigger processing by two different cognitive systems, those reported in the literature to be involved in the processing of rulebased versus similarity-based artificially construed categories, respectively. To support this thesis, the paper illuminates a number of links between findings reported in the literature concerning ruleversus sim...
متن کاملNominal Verbs and Transitive Nouns: Vindicating Lexicalism*
The earliest generative work derived all nominalizations syntactically (Chomsky 1955-6, Lees 1960). Chomsky (1970) then argued that only -ing gerunds are derived syntactically, while all other types of event nominals, such as refutation, acceptance, refusal, are derived morphologically in the lexicon from bases that are unspecified between nouns and verbs. The suffix -ing was shown to serve bot...
متن کاملExtracting inflectional class assignment in Pite Saami: Nouns, verbs and those pesky adjectives
The main goal of this paper is to describe to what extent the three main open word classes in Pite Saami (nouns, verbs and adjectives) can be automatically assigned to inflectional classes in language technology, specifically for a Finite State Transducer. For each of these word classes, the relevant structural features necessary for determining inflectional class membership are described. In t...
متن کاملMachine translation with North Saami as a pivot language
Translating from a majority language into several minority languages implies duplicating both translation and terminology work. Our assumption is that a manual translation into one of the languages, and machine translation from this one into the other ones, will both cut translation time and be beneficial for work on terminology. We test the functionality of North Saami as a pivot language, wit...
