A Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Japanese Benefactives: The Case of the Yaru-Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the semantic and pragmatic properties of Japanese benefactives with the main focus on the yaru-construction. The benefactive sentence is judged to be acceptable if the transitive verb complement falls into a certain semantic class in which the meaning of transfer of possession is expressed. Hence, the distribution of the recipient role rather than the beneficiary role is crucial for determining the acceptability of the construction. To capture such a multi-dimensional linguistic information, HPSG account will be given.

Investigating the discursive construction of EFL learners’ motivation is a relatively new area of inquiry. Hence, there is a dearth of research into how foreign language learners’ discourse mediates their motivation construction. This study attempted to examine the discursive construction of two (one male and one female) Iranian EFL learners’ motivation in Shiraz University, Iran by examining t...
متن کاملThe Acquisition of Benefactives and Passives
This paper investigates children’s acquisition of benefactives and passives in Japanese. It has been pointed out that Japanese complex constructions with mora-w (receive) are acquired later than their counterparts with age-ru (give) (Uyeno et al. 1978). Also, many researchers report that passives are more difficult for children than active counterparts (Borer and Wexler 1987, Fox and Grodzinsky...
متن کاملConstructing Two-Dimensional Multi-Wavelet for Solving Two-Dimensional Fredholm Integral Equations
In this paper, a two-dimensional multi-wavelet is constructed in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. The constructed multi-wavelet is an orthonormal basis for space. By discretizing two-dimensional Fredholm integral equation reduce to a algebraic system. The obtained system is solved by the Galerkin method in the subspace of by using two-dimensional multi-wavelet bases. Because the bases of subs...

متن کاملINTUITIONISTIC FUZZY DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS FOR MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING
Dimensional analysis, for multi-criteria decision making, is a mathematical method that includes diverse heterogeneous criteria into a single dimensionless index. Dimensional Analysis, in its current definition, presents the drawback to manipulate fuzzy information commonly presented in a multi-criteria decision making problem. To overcome such limitation, we propose two dimensional analysis ba...
