Temporal Adjectives and the Structure of Possessive Dp
creates two interpretations. On one reading, the temporal adjective modifies the common noun (N-modifying reading). On the other, it modifies the possession relation (POSS-modifying reading). An explanation for this behavior is offered that appeals to what occurs in possessive sentences like John has a former car (N-modifying reading) and John formerly had a car (POSS-modifying reading). In the...
متن کاملDegrammaticalization, exaptation and loss of inflection: Evidence from Slavonic
Recent work in grammaticalization has highlighted cases where former inflectional affixes have gained independence on an unexpected path towards clitic or full-word status. Such cases challenge the hypothesized unidirectionality of grammaticalization at the formal level (word > clitic > affix). This article considers two cases from Slavonic languages: in the first, various Slavonic languages re...
متن کاملThe case of Czech possessive adjectives and their head nouns: some distributional properties
If a word class is defined on the basis of its co-occurrence with another word class in texts, then its ranking distribution may be modelled well by the negative hypergeometric probability distribution, and the interaction of the two classes can be described by the same type of model as well as with the help of some similar procedures, such as the non-linear regression. Possessive adjectives an...
متن کاملModelling the Semantics of Adjectives in the Ontology-Lexicon Interface
The modelling of the semantics of adjectives is notoriously challenging. We consider this problem in the context of the so called ontology-lexicon interface, which attempts to capture the semantics of words by reference to an ontology in description logics or some other, typically first-order, logical formalism. The use of first order logic (hence also description logics), while effective for n...
متن کاملAcquisition of Semantic Classes for Adjectives from Distributional Evidence
In this paper, we present a clustering experiment directed at the acquisition of semantic classes for adjectives in Catalan, using only shallow distributional features. We define a broad-coverage classification for adjectives based on Ontological Semantics. We classify along two parameters (number of arguments and ontological kind of denotation), achieving reliable agreement results among human...
