An Account for Compound Prepositions in Farsi
نویسنده
چکیده
There are some sorts of ‘Preposition + Noun’ combinations in Farsi that apparently a Prepositional Phrase almost behaves as Compound Prepositions. As they are not completely behaving as compounds, it is doubtful that the process of word formation is a morphological one. The analysis put forward by this paper proposes “incorporation” by which an N is incorporated to a P constructing a compound preposition. In this way tagging prepositions and parsing texts in Natural Language Processing is defined in a proper manner.

The Syntax of Sorani Kurdish Prepositions A Lexical Account within the framework of HPSG
This paper presents a lexical account of the syntax of Sorani Kurdish prepositions within the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). Kurdish dialects have a rich class of prepositions and prepositional collocations with a complex syntactic behavior (Edmonds 1955, Mackenzie 1961). This situation results from severla factors. The first one involves the constitution of this clas...
متن کاملOn the Syntax and Semantics of Spanish Spatial Prepositions
The goal of this paper is to offer a novel account on the Syntax and Semantics of Spanish Spatial Prepositions. This account is novel in at least three aspects. First, the account offers a unified syntactic analysis that covers understudied types of Spanish Spatial Prepositions (e.g. en el centro de, junto y a la izquierda de). Second, the account shows that such treatment can be extended to mo...
متن کاملInfluences of Form and Function on Spatial Relations ESTABLISHING FUNCTIONAL AND GEOMETRIC INFLUENCES ON PROJECTIVE PREPOSITIONS IN SWEDISH
The present work is concerned with projective prepositions, which express the relation between two objects by referring to a direction in three-dimensional space. The projective prepositions have been regarded as expressing simple schematic relations of a geometric nature. A theory of the apprehension of projective relations can account for their meanings when they express strictly geometric re...
متن کاملLexical pragmatics and types of linguistic encoding: evidence from pre- and postpositions in Behdini-Kurdish
Lexical pragmatics starts from the assumption that the meaning communicated by a word is underdetermined by its semantics, and lexical pragmatists usually study the processes involved in bridging the gap between the encoded and the communicated meaning of words. This paper studies a di erent but related question: wether di erent types of linguistic encoding can play empirically distinguishable ...
متن کاملUncovering Noun-Noun Compound Relations by Gamification
Can relations described by English nounnoun compounds be adequately captured by prepositions? We attempt to answer this question in a data-driven way, using gamification to annotate a set of about a thousand noun-noun compound examples. Annotators could make a choice out of five prepositions generated with the help of paraphrases found in the Google ngram corpus. We show that there is substanti...
