A Pregroup Analysis of Japanese Causatives
We explore a computational algebraic approach to grammar via pregroups. We examine how the structures of Japanese causatives can be treated in the framework of a pregroup grammar. In our grammar, the dictionary assigns one or more syntactic types to each word and the grammar rules are used to infer types to strings of words. We developed a practical parser representing our pregroup grammar, whi...
متن کاملFrench Causatives : a Biclausal Account in LFG
The aim of this paper is to question the well-established view in constraint based grammars on Romance causatives, i.e. that they are functionally monoclausal, as well as its most important corollary, that their lexical representation is underspecified with regard to argument structure (Alsina 1996, Abeillé, Godard & Sag 1998) that gets fully specified by merging with another predicate. This is...
متن کاملAsymmetries between Passivization and Antipassivization in the Tarramiutut Subdialect of Inuktitut
This paper investigates some of the properties of passivization, antipassivization, and two types of causatives in the Tarramiutut subdialect of Inuktitut, within the Role and Reference Grammar framework. Data from the use of the floated quantifier, “atuniit”, as well as interclausal binding will be used to suggest that NPs which express arguments in constructions which, in their most canonical...
متن کاملSyntactic Causatives in Korean : Clause Union or Not?
Clause Union Laws require causee nominals to assume the relation of direct object or indirect object depending on the transitivity of corresponding non-causative constructions (Perlmutter & Postal 1974) or in accordance with the language specific rules (Gibson & Raposo 1986) in forming causative constructions. However, the causee nominals in Korean syntactic causatives are nominatively, accusat...
متن کاملSetting Syntactic Parameters with Implicit Negative Evidence: The Case of Zero-derived Causatives in English
In this paper, I introduce a learning challenge for various models of parameter setting in generative syntax, namely a scenario where all input to the learner underdetermines the target parameter setting. This scenario is exemplified by the case of zero-derived causatives in English, as discussed in Pylkkänen (2008). I then propose a model for parameter setting that uses a simple Bayesian learn...
