Variability, negative evidence, and the acquisition of verb argument constructions.
We present a hierarchical Bayesian framework for modeling the acquisition of verb argument constructions. It embodies a domain-general approach to learning higher-level knowledge in the form of inductive constraints (or overhypotheses), and has been used to explain other aspects of language development such as the shape bias in learning object names. Here, we demonstrate that the same model cap...
متن کاملArgument Composition in Korean Serial Verb Constructions ∗
The so-called serial verb construction (SVC) is a complex predicate structure consisting of two or more verbal heads but denotes one single event. This paper discusses the grammatical properties of Korean SVCs and provides a lexicalist, construction-based analysis couched in the typed-feature structure grammar, HPSG. In particular, we identify four different types of the SVCs in Korean, each of...
متن کاملDeep lexical acquisition of verb-particle constructions
Using the Pontryagin Duality and results of S. Fisher, P. Gartside (1991); P. Gartside, M. Smith (2007) and Y.D. Cornulier, L. Guyot, W. Pitsch (2008) we show that the space S(A) of all closed subgroups of a compact Abelian group A is countable if and only if there is a closed subgroup K of A such that K is topologically isomorphic to ⊕h i=1 Zpi⊕G and A/K is topologically isomorphic to T ⊕ G̃, w...
متن کاملTowards an Inventory of English Verb Argument Constructions
This paper outlines and pilots our approach towards developing an inventory of verb-argument constructions based upon English form, function, and usage. We search a tagged and dependencyparsed BNC (a 100-million word corpus of English) for Verb-Argument Constructions (VACs) including those previously identified in the pattern grammar resulting from the COBUILD project. This generates (1) a list...
متن کاملLocative Constructions in English Interlanguage: A Study of the Acquisition of Argument Realization in English by Iranian EFL Learners
Locative constructions, as an instance of double object constructions with various cognitive-linguistic concepts, have been successful in attracting the linguists. This paper tried to evaluate the acquisition of English locative constructions by Persian native speakers in the absence of negative evidence, focusing on the influence of L1 and participants’ proficiency level in the course of acqui...
