Object-To-Subject-Raising and Lexical Rule An Analysis of the German Passive
نویسنده
چکیده
It is a much-debated issue whether one should assume separate lexical entries for participles used in passive and perfect constructions or whether there is just one lexical entry that is used in different ways depending on whether a passive or perfect auxiliary is present in the clause. In previous work I criticized approaches trying to analyze the passive with one lexical entry for making empirically wrong predictions and suggested a lexical rule-based approach were two different lexical items for the participle are licensed. In this paper I show how Heinz and Matiasek’s (1994) formalizations of Haider’s (1986) ideas can be extended and modified in a way that both modal infinitives and control constructions can be captured correctly. The suggested analysis needs only one lexical item for participles, base form infinitives, and zu infinitives irrespective of their usage in active or passive-like structures.

Object- to Subject Raising or Lexical Rule - An HPSG Analysis of the German Passive
In this paper I develop a lexical rule based analysis for the passive in German in the paradigm of HPSG. Object-toSubject-Raising approaches will be discussed and it will be explained why a lexical rule based approach does not have their shortcomings. It will be shown that difficult cases of remote passive can be handled by such an analysis. 1 Object-to-Subject Raising In HPSG grammars for Engl...
متن کاملThe Passive as a Lexical Rule
In HPSG grammars for English (Pollard and Sag, 1987, p. 214–218) and in LFG (Bresnan, 1982), the passive is analyzed as a lexical rule. For German many authors followed Haider (1986a) and analyzed the passive as object-to-subject-raising (Kathol, 1991, 1994; Heinz and Matiasek, 1994; Lebeth, 1994; Pollard, 1994; Müller, 1999). The advantage of the raising analysis is that one entry for the part...

Object manipulation techniques in robotics can be categorized in two major groups including manipulation with and without grasp. The aim of this paper is to develop an object manipulation method where in addition to being grasp-less, the manipulation task is done in a passive approach. In this method, linear and angular positions of the object are changed and its manipulation path is controlled...
