Phonologically Motivated Word Order Movement:
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Chinese compounds exhibit word order variations that have so far not been well understood. In this article I propose that the word order variation is motivated by metrical requirements. I also propose that the mechanism for word movement is Nonhead Fronting, an operation that is similar to XP movement by adjunction in syntax.

The study focused on the discourse-pragmatically motivated variations of the basic word order such as inversion, pre-posing, it- and Wh-clefts. After taking the Nelson test, a homogeneous group was settled. ...
متن کاملOvert Case and Covert Case in Korean*46
In this paper, I concern myself with the relationship of overt and covert Case to two types of word order in Korean; free vs. rigid word order. To characterize this relationship I will essentially assume the Attract-F theory in Chomsky 1995. I assume that (overt) Case markers are Ds with phonological features and Case features, and phonologically null (covert) Case markers also exist as their c...
متن کاملA Quantitative Model of Word Order and Movement in English, Dutch and German Complement Constructions
We present a quantitative model of word order and movement constraints that enables a simple and uniform treatment of a seemingly heterogeneous collection of linear order phenomena in English, Dutch and German complement constructions (Wh-extraction, clause union, extraposition, verb clustering, particle movement, etc.). Underlying the scheme are central assumptions of the psycholinguistically ...
متن کاملWithin-word Speech Errors Note That Some Small Parts May Differ from the Published Version
An essential function of language processing is serial order control. Computational models of serial ordering and empirical data suggest that plan representations for ordered output of sound are governed by principles related to similarity. Among these principles, the temporal distance and edge principles at a within-word level have not been empirically demonstrated separately from other princi...
متن کاملImproving language without words: first evidence from aphasia.
The pervasiveness of word-finding difficulties in aphasia has motivated several theories regarding management of the deficit and its effectiveness. Recently, the hypothesis was advanced that instead of simply accompanying speech gestures participate in language production by increasing the semantic activation of words grounded in sensory-motor features, hence facilitating retrieval of the word ...
