A Serial Verb Construction without Constructions
This paper investigates the syntactic properties of Serial Verb Constructions (SVCs) consisting of two transitive verbs that seem to share a single direct object, as found in Edo, Nupe, and Yoruba. We claim these structures arise when one vP is adjoined to another vP and is predicated of it. This predication relationship is permitted if and only if the object of the second vP is a null pronomin...
متن کاملThe Serial Verb Construction: Comparative Concept and Cross-linguistic Generalizations*
Since the 1970s, serial verb constructions (SVCs) have been discussed widely in African, Oceanic and many other languages throughout the world. This article gives an overview of the most important generalizations about SVCs that have been proposed and that do seem to hold if a sufficiently restrictive definition of the concept is adopted. The main problem with the earlier comparative literature...
متن کاملArgument Composition in Korean Serial Verb Constructions ∗
The so-called serial verb construction (SVC) is a complex predicate structure consisting of two or more verbal heads but denotes one single event. This paper discusses the grammatical properties of Korean SVCs and provides a lexicalist, construction-based analysis couched in the typed-feature structure grammar, HPSG. In particular, we identify four different types of the SVCs in Korean, each of...
متن کاملSerial Verb Constructions in English and Chinese
Traditionally, the term serial verb construction refers to a sequence of verbs or verb phrases in a sentence in which there is no intervening conjunction. The English expression go eat, for example, might be considered as a kind of serial verb construction since there is no infinitive or other morphosyntactic marker present to indicate a coordinating or subordinating relationship between the tw...
متن کاملA Memory-Based Approach to the Treatment of Serial Verb Construction in Combinatory Categorial Grammar
CCG, one of the most prominent grammar frameworks, efficiently deals with deletion under coordination in natural languages. However, when we expand our attention to more analytic languages whose degree of pro-dropping is more free, CCG’s decomposition rule for dealing with gapping becomes incapable of parsing some patterns of intra-sentential ellipses in serial verb construction. Moreover, the ...
