Topological Dependency Analysis of the Dutch Verb Cluster

چکیده
Topological Dependency Grammar (TDG) is a new lexicalized formalism where word order phenomena arise from the interaction of a non-ordered syntax tree with a projective topological tree, both related by an emancipation mechanism. TDG proved capable of an elegant account of German word-order phenomena. We apply it now to the modelization of word-order variation in the Dutch verb cluster and further extend it with an ordering principle that correctly accounts for the ordering of elements in the Mittelfeld.

Word Order Constraints on German Verb Clusters
There is a broad concensus among researchers working within the paradigm of HPSG that argument-inheritance (Hinrichs and Nakazawa (1989; 1994)) is an essential operation in the analysis of so-called verb clusters in German. An argument-inheritance verb subcategorizes for an unsaturated verbal complement, and for all the complements on the COMPS-list of this verbal complement. In German, auxilia...
متن کاملVerb Cluster, Non-Projectivity, and Syntax-Topology Interface in Korean
This article proposes a simple modeling of Korean word order within the framework of the topological dependency grammar – the first topological modeling for this language – a system of formal rules accounting for the correspondence between the dependency tree of a sentence and an ordered constituent structure. We show that a fairly small number of linearization rules can account for the word or...
متن کاملRelativization in Korean ko Constructions: A Topological Solution
Using a linearization formalism in the framework of dependency grammars, this article proposes a simple analysis of new data on word order constraints in Korean ko construction composed of three verbs V3-ko V2 V1. It will be shown that V3-ko rejoins the verb cluster in the case of extraction of its nominal dependent, while V3-ko forms an independent constituent with its dependent in the case wh...

Lotte Hendriks, Sjef Barbiers and Hans Bennis Meertens Instituut Introduction: The novel observation that is central to this paper is that speakers are able to judge syntactic constructions that are not part of their own language variety. When they are asked to rank a number of variants of such a construction on a scale, this ranking turns out to be parallel to the geographic frequency distribu...
متن کاملNeural correlates of Dutch Verb Second in speech production.
Dutch speakers with agrammatic Broca's aphasia are known to have problems with the production of finite verbs in main clauses. This performance pattern has been accounted for in terms of the specific syntactic complexity of the Dutch main clause structure, which requires an extra syntactic operation (Verb Second), relative to the basic Subject-Object-Verb order surfacing in Dutch subordinate cl...
