Evidence for the Linearization-Based Theory of Semantic Composition
نویسنده
چکیده
The result of questionnaire studies are presented which shows (i) that conjuncts are scope islands in Japanese and (ii) that left-node raising can nullify such scope islands. This finding confirms the theory advanced in Yatabe (2001), in which semantic composition is almost entirely carried out within order domains, and arguably contradicts the theory proposed in Beavers and Sag (2004), which introduces a mechanism called Optional Quantifier Merger to deal with the fact that right-node raising and left-node raising can have semantic effects.

Evidence for the linearization-based theory of semantic composition
It is undeniable that right-node raising (RNR) and left-node raising (LNR) (see Yatabe 2001) can affect quantifier scope; when RNR or LNR merges two or more quantifiers into one, the scope of those quantifiers can be altered, as can easily be seen in the case of an example like Jo liked, and Ed disliked, exactly half of the movies. At the same time, there seems to be a growing consensus that RN...

متن کاملA Novel Approach to Determine Dosage in Treatment of AIDS Based on Direct Self Tuning Regulator (STR) Theory and Linearization Around Equilibrium Condition
in this study, a new approach for control (treatment) of AIDS based on patient entry drug. One of the main problems related to AIDS, is lack of control, lack of identification and early treatment of this disease. Today physicians more than anything, control the disease relying on their experience and knowledge and time-consuming and complex experiments, nevertheless, human errors are inevitable...
متن کاملArgument Composition and Linearization: Korean Complex Predicates and Scrambling
This paper deals with the formation of complex predicates and some interesting scrambling facts in Korean. First, we extend the notion of complex predicates to include various noun-verb combinations by providing syntactic and semantic evidence. Within the HPSG framework, we then propose a general schema based on argument composition, which can be used for different types of complex predicates. ...
متن کاملAdaptive Speed Control of Three-Phase Induction Servo-drives Based on Feedback Linearization Theory
In this paper, based on feedback linearization control method and using a special PI (propotational integrator) regulator (IP) in combination with a feed-forward controller, a three-phase induction servo-drive is speed controlled. First, an observer is employed to estimate the rotor d and q axis flux components. Then, two input-output state variables are introduced to control the dynamics of to...
