Tense beyond the Verb: Encoding Clausal Tense/aspect/mood on Nominal Dependents
It is generally held that clausal temporal, aspectual and modal features, when encoded morphologically, are expressed by or on clausal heads. However nominals and modifiers within NP can also be inflected for tense, aspect and modal features interpreted with respect to the clausal predication rather than with respect to the nominal argument itself. Such nominals (and dependents within NP) there...
متن کاملVerb inflections in agrammatic aphasia: Encoding of tense features.
Across most languages, verbs produced by agrammatic aphasic individuals are frequently marked by syntactically and semantically inappropriate inflectional affixes, such as Last night, I walking home. As per language production models, verb inflection errors in English agrammatism could arise from three potential sources: encoding the verbs' morphology based on temporal information at the concep...
متن کاملNominal and Clausal Event Predicates
In this paper, I argue that not only PPs and adverbs can act as predicates of the event argument of the verb, but certain NPs and certain clauses can, as well. I will give syntactic and semantic arguments that NPs that are cognate objects and clauses of (at least some) nonbridge verbs are optional predicates of the event argument of the verb. With respect to clauses, I will argue that for indep...
متن کاملTense as a Nominal Category
Recent work in morphology in LFG (Nordlinger 1998, Sadler 1998, Barron 1998) has highlighted the fact that NPs in some languages inflect for the traditionally verbal categories of tense, aspect or mood (henceforth TAM). This phenomenon is extremely problematic for head-driven approaches such as HPSG, which assumes that clause-level information will be associated with clausal heads, and not with...
متن کاملHidden Nominal Structures in Japanese Clausal Comparatives
Recent debates on Japanese clausal comparatives have yielded several competing theories of their syntax and semantics with different implications for the issue of crosslinguistic variation in comparative constructions. This paper offers a novel syntactic account of Japanese clausal comparatives. It claims that despite their appearance, Japanese clausal comparatives in fact involve a nominal str...
