Events and Aspectual Structure in Derivational Morphology1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Events have been represented as part of the lexicon (Grimshaw 1990; Pustejovsky 1991), as part of argument structure (Davidson 1967; Higginbotham 1985; Kratzer 1994), in aspectual projections (Tenny 1994; Borer 1994; Travis 1991, 1994) and as a property of Feature Checking (van Hout 1996). We argue that the Feature Checking account defined on Event related projections captures morphological variation.

Morphosemantic relations between verbs in Croatian WordNet
This paper deals with morphosemantic relations between Croatian verbs and discusses their inclusion in Croatian WordNet. Morphosemantic relations refer to semantic relations between morphologically related verbs, i.e., between verbs from the same derivational family. A derivational family consists of verbs with the same lexical morpheme grouped around a base form. Generally, a verb with the sim...

This article aims at contrasting aspectual oppositions in English and Persian in the context of the novel The Old Man and the Sea, and its translation by Daryabandari (1983) as the data. Unlike English, in Persian perfective and imperfective forms are morphologically marked. While the vast majority of English simple past forms are translated into Persian by past perfective forms, only less than...

متن کاملMoving verbal chunks in the low functional field
The paper proposes a partial unification of two computational devices: the derivational option advocated in Cinque (2004) to account for the distributional difference between certain adverbs and the corresponding adverbial PPs; and “smuggling”, the device proposed by Collins (2005, 2006), which circumvents minimality violations in passive and raising constructions. After reviewing certain cases...
متن کاملAnnotation of causal and aspectual structure of events in RED: a preliminary report
Causal and temporal relations among events are typically analyzed in terms of interclausal relations. Yet participants in a monoclausal event interact causally as well, and monoclausal events unfold in temporal phases. We propose an annotation scheme for the resulting analysis of event structure types. The annotation scheme is based on a fine-grained analysis of aspectual structure combined wit...
