The German mit-predicative construction and its frames
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses a usage pattern with German mit 'with' that is labelled here as the German mit-predicative construction. The pattern has been mentioned in previous research, but a usage-based constructional account is still missing. A qualitative analysis shows that the construction is subject to a number of constraints that point to its function as a predicative construction. It is argued that its constructional meaning can be adequately captured through the semantic frames of being in a category and having an attribute. Through the application of Hierarchical Configural Frequency Analysis to a corpus-based sample of 356 instances of the mit-predicative, it is shown that the construction can be analyzed as a cluster of five subtypes that display different typical structural and semantic traits. Through the analysis, the paper offers a perspective on intra-constructional variation and how such variation can be exploited for the purpose of grammatical description. *

Nominalizations in German Support Verb Constructions Angelika Storrer TU Dortmund ___________________________________________________________________________ Support verb constructions (SVC), such as to take a risk or to set into motion, are composed of a support verb (SV, e.g. take, set) and a predicative noun (PredN, e.g. risk, motion), which is – in most cases – a nominalization of a verb or...
متن کاملConstruction of continuous $g$-frames and continuous fusion frames
A generalization of the known results in fusion frames and $g$-frames theory to continuous fusion frames which defined by M. H. Faroughi and R. Ahmadi, is presented in this study. Continuous resolution of the identity (CRI) is introduced, a new family of CRI is constructed, and a number of reconstruction formulas are obtained. Also, new results are given on the duality of continuous fusion fram...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the Evidential Use of German Perception Verbs
This paper presents a frame-theoretic account of the inferential and non-inferential use of German perception verbs like klingen ‘sound’, aussehen ‘look (like)’, and sich anfühlen ‘feel (like)’. We argue that a proper analysis of constructions based on these verbs requires explicit reference to object attributes like SOUND, SIGHT, and TOUCH, to which we refer as ‘dimensions’. It will be shown t...
متن کاملOPTIMAL PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF COMPOSITE BUILDING FRAMES WITH RC COLUMNS AND STEEL BEAMS
Composite RCS building frames integrate reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams to provide an efficient solution for the design and construction of earthquake-resisting structures. In this paper, an optimization framework is developed for performance-based seismic design of planar RCS moment resisting frames. The objective functions are defined as minimizing the construction cos...
متن کاملA recursive construction of a class of finite normalized tight frames
Finite normalized tight frames are interesting because they provide decompositions in applications and some physical interpretations. In this article, we give a recursive method for constructing them.
