Nominal juxtaposition in Australian languages: An LFG analysis
It is well known that Australian languages make heavy use of nominal juxtaposition in a wide variety of functions, but there is little discussion in the theoretical literature of how such juxtapositions should be analysed. We discuss a range of data from Australian languages illustrating how multiple nominals share a single grammatical function within the clause. We argue that such construction...
متن کاملApposition and Coordination in Australian Languages: An LFG Analysis
It is well known that Australian languages make heavy use of nominal apposition. However there is little discussion in the theoretical literature of how such appositional structures should be analysed syntactically. We present a range of data from Australian languages illustrating how multiple nominals share a single gramamtical function within the clause. We argue that such constructions shoul...
متن کاملTowards Nominal Formal Languages
We introduce formal languages over infinite alphabets where words may contain binders. We define the notions of nominal language, nominal monoid, and nominal regular expressions. Moreover, we extend history-dependent automata (HD-automata) by adding stack, and study the recognisability of nominal languages.
متن کاملLFG Generation Produces Context-free Languages
This paper examines the generation problem for a certain linguistically relevant subclass of LFG grammars. Our main result is that the set of strings that such a grammar relates to a particular f-structure is a context-free language. This result obviously extends to other context-free based grammatical formalisms, such as PATR, and also to formalisms that permit a context-free skeleton to be ex...
متن کاملFrom Juxtaposition to Incorporation: an Approach to Generic-specific Constructions
In this paper, we present an analysis of classifier noun incorporation in Gunwinyguan languages from northern Australia, focussing particularly on generic specific constructions. We show how the analysis of Sadler and Nordlinger (2006) for generic-specific constructions forms through nominal juxtaposition can be extended to account for incorporated generic-specific constructions also. In this a...
