Split complex predicates in Persian
Complex predicates, or compound verbs, constitute a major portion of verbal forms in the Persian language. They are normally formed using a noun, adjective, preposition, or prepositional phrase, followed by a light verb. Unlike many other languages that employ such constructions, Persian allows the two components to become separated. This paper will investigate where complex predicates syntacti...
متن کاملDeterminants of event type in Persian complex predicates
In this paper we analyse the interdependence of Persian nonverbal (NV) element and the light verb (LV) in determining the syntactic properties, the event structure, and the alternation possibilities of the entire complex predicate (CP) and we argue that these properties provide strong evidence against a Lexicalist approach to such phenomena. Further we show how these facts may be naturally acco...
متن کاملA Note on Two-Place Predicates and Fitting Sequences of Measure Functions
Carnap (in, [ I ] , p. 566) has remarked that his measure function m* is jitting fof finite languages using a fixed number of one-place predicates, i.e., for any sentence i, m*(;) is the same In all such restricted finite languages in which i occurs. The main purpose of this brief note is to show by means of a counter-example that * does not have the intuitively desirable property of fittingne...

I suggest that the light verbs lexicalize the subevent heads into which the verbal phrase is decomposed, while the preverbal element occupies the Rheme position and semantically unifies with the light verb to build one joint predication. Further, I propose a f...
