Future Reference in Hungarian with and without Future Marking
There are two main expressions which can give rise to future-oriented interpretations in Hungarian. The fog construction, which consists of an auxiliary verb and an infinitival main verb is obligatorily associated with future interpretations. The second expression, the non-past, consists of a verb inflected for person and number, with no grammatical marker of temporal reference. Interestingly, ...
متن کاملLocative Case Marking and Abstraction in Child Hungarian
This study asked whether contextual abstractness would affect productive locative case marking in 3to 6year-old Hungarian-speaking children. A narrative elicitation task examined locative case production in both concrete (e.g., IN the garden) and abstract (e.g., IN trouble) contexts. We found that 3-year-olds were less accurate in the abstract condition than controls. By contrast, there was no ...
متن کاملWhat is so difficult about telicity marking in L 2 Russian ? ∗
Two major mechanisms of encoding telicity across languages are either marking the object as exhaustively countable or measurable, or utilizing a specific prefix on the verbal form. English predominantly uses the first mechanism, while Russian mostly utilizes the second. The learning task of an English speaker acquiring Russian, then, is two-fold: to learn each individual verb with its subset of...
متن کاملTelicity as a Semantic Parameter
As a point of departure, we take the empirical hypothesis that only a small number of verb roots (i.e., simple, underived verbs) lexically incorporates an ordering criterion with respect to which events in their denotation could be maximalized. It follows then that the vast majority of maximal predicates is endocentrically built from verb roots by combining them with expressions that impose an ...
متن کاملThe Telicity Parameter Revisited
The goals of this paper are threefold: First, to review some recent syntactic accounts of cross-linguistic differences in the expression of telicity in Slavic vs. Germanic languages. Second, I will argue that the parametric variation in the encoding of telicity cannot be based on a unidirectional specifier head agreement between the verbal functional head linked to the telicity of the VP and th...
