Accent and Description: an account of anaphoric epithets
Definite descriptions, like the pig behave differently in prosodically prominent (2) and non-prominent (1) environments. (I hate Jack but. . .) (1) Mary KISSED the pig. epithet: the pig = Jack (2) Mary kissed the PIG. standard: the pig = Jack In (2) the definite description picks out a uniquely salient pig. In the unaccented environment (1) the definite description the pig is an anaphoric epith...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Account of Logical Metonymy
In this paper we investigate logical metonymy, i.e., constructions where the argument of a word in syntax appears to be different from that argument in logical form (e.g., enjoy the book means enjoy reading the book, and easy problem means a problem that is easy to solve). The systematic variation in the interpretation of such constructions suggests a rich and complex theory of composition on t...
متن کاملAn Account for Compound Prepositions in Farsi
There are some sorts of ‘Preposition + Noun’ combinations in Farsi that apparently a Prepositional Phrase almost behaves as Compound Prepositions. As they are not completely behaving as compounds, it is doubtful that the process of word formation is a morphological one. The analysis put forward by this paper proposes “incorporation” by which an N is incorporated to a P constructing a compound p...
متن کاملCorpus-based Metonymy Analysis 1 Running head: Corpus-based Metonymy Analysis Corpus-based Metonymy Analysis
In this paper we make the case for corpus-based metonymy analysis and show that many interesting linguistic and statistical questions can only be answered by working with real texts. To facilitate such studies, we present a method for annotating metonymies in domain and genre-independent text. We advocate an annotation scheme that builds on regularities in metonymic usage, that takes underspeci...
متن کاملAn Alternative Account of the Interpretation of Referential Metonymy and Metaphor
Most modern linguists agree that metaphor and metonymy are two distinct constructions arising from two distinct cognitive operations, although they are alike in that they both involve an explicit source expression (that which is mentioned) which suggests an implicit target (intended item of communication). The most common description of the fundamental difference between metaphor and metonymy i...
