Event structure and the encoding of arguments: the syntax of the Mandarin and English verb phrase
This work presents a theory of linguistic representation that attempts to capture the syntactic structure of verbs and their arguments. My framework is based on the assumption that the proper representation of argument structure is event structure. Furthermore, I develop the hypothesis that event structure is syntactic structure, and argue that verb meanings are compositionally derived in the s...
متن کاملL1 Transfer in L2 Acquisition of the There-Insertion Construction by Mandarin EFL Learners
This study examined the role of the native language (L1) transfer in a non-native language (L2) acquisition of the there-insertion construction at the syntax-semantics interface. Specifically, the study investigated if Mandarin EFL learners would make overgeneralization errors in the situation where an L1 argument structure constitutes a superset of its L2 counterpart. Verbs of existence and ap...
متن کاملNative-like Event-related Potentials in Processing the Second Language Syntax: Late Bilinguals
Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...
متن کاملاستفاده از تجزیه گرهای احتمالاتی زبان طبیعی جهت بهبود ترجمه افعال گروهی انگلیسی به فارسی
Machine translation of English sentences faces a big problem when it deals with phrasal verbs. Phrasal verb is a common structure occurring in English as a combination of a verb and a preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a verb with both an adverb and a preposition. Meaning of a phrasal verb is not compositional. The second part of the phrasal verbs which often is a preposition is called parti...
متن کاملFine-Grained Lexical Semantic Representations And Compositionally-Derived Events In Mandarin Chinese
Current lexical semantic representations for natural language applications view verbs as simple predicates over their arguments. These structures are too coarse-grained to capture many important generalizations about verbal argument structure. In this paper, I specifically defend the following two claims: verbs have rich internal structure expressible in terms of finer-grained primitives of mea...
