Varieties of Clausal Complementation

Clausal Complementation and Selection

Tough complementation and the extraclausal propagation of argument descriptions

• none of the classical arguments for treating for Mary in John is easy for Mary to please as a PP are borne out by the full set of relevant data; • there is a set of arguments which point unequivocally to clausal status for for Mary to please; • this analysis however requires that the content description of tough predicates have access to the index specifications of the clausal subject Mary.

Complementation of isolated mitochondria from several wheat varieties.

Sarkissian (4) and Sarkissian and Srivastava (6) have pointed out a close correlation between complementation and heterosis effects with intact mitochondria isolated from wheat coleoptiles. In their experiments, mitochondria which were isolated from coleoptiles of heterozygous F1 plants show significantly higher values for 02 uptake, esterification of inorganic phosphate, and especially for res...

Incremental sentence production and clausal coordinate ellipsis : 


From two corpus studies into varieties of clausal coordination in English (Meyer, 1995 and Greenbaum & Nelson, 1999), it is known that the incidence of clausal coordinate ellipsis (CCE) is about two times higher in written than in spoken language. We present a treebank study into CCE in written and spoken Dutch and German which confirms this tendency. Moreover, we observe considerable differenc...

Clausal Coordinate Ellipsis and its Varieties in Spoken German: A Study with the TüBa-D/S Treebank of the VERBMOBIL Corpus

Grammar rules for Clausal Coordinate Ellipsis (CCE) are based nearly exclusively on linguistic judgments (intuitions). For German, the extent to which grammar rules based on this type of empirical evidence generate all and only CCE structures that populate text corpora, has only been explored with the TIGER treebank of written newspaper text. How well these rules fit spoken German is unknown. I...
