Syntactic Ergativity in Tongan: Resumptive Pronouns Revisited
Introduction It is well known that so-called ergative languages are classified roughly into two groups: those which show an ergative pattern only at the morphological level and those which exhibit an ergative pattern also at the syntactic level. Syntactic ergativity is a curious phenomenon in the following respects. First, while there is apparently some correlation between morphological and syn...
متن کاملThe syntactic distribution of factive complements
This paper analyzes Kiparsky & Kiparsky’s (1970) observation that there exists a deep correlation between the semantics and the syntax of factive complements in the light of a wide range of (old and new) phenomena : the incompatibility of ECM and that-less complements with factive predicates, weak island effects, the incompatibility of pure propositional complements with verbs that contain aspe...
متن کاملLearning Syntactic Verb Frames using Graphical Models
We present a novel approach for building verb subcategorization lexicons using a simple graphical model. In contrast to previous methods, we show how the model can be trained without parsed input or a predefined subcategorization frame inventory. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art on a verb clustering task, and is easily trained on arbitrary domains. This quantitative evaluation is com...
متن کاملSyntactic variation of support verb constructions
Syntactic Variation of Support Verb Constructions We report experiments about the syntactic variations of support verb constructions, a special type ofmultiword expressions (MWEs) containing predicative nouns. In these expressions, the noun can oc-cur with or without the verb, with no clear-cut semantic difference. We extracted from a large Frenchcorpus a set of examples of the two ...
متن کاملVerb Valency Descriptors for a Syntactic Treebank
An essential component of Language Engineering (LE) tools are verb class descriptors that provide information about the relations of the predicates to their arguments. The production of computationally tractable language resources necessitates the assignment of types of predicate-argument relations to a great variety of verb-centered structures: it is necessary to define not only the initial, c...
