The syntactic structure of the deontic “ought” has been much debated in philosophy and linguistics. Schroeder argues that is syntactically ambiguous sense it can be associated with either a control or raising construction. He distinguishes between deliberative evaluative “ought”s while raising. However, if there “ought,” implies which word carries an external argument. Chrisman (Australas J Phi...

This paper addresses a fundamental problem of derivational morphology: which meanings are possible for the words given morphological category, forms can be chosen to express meaning, and what is role base in these mappings form meaning? In broad empirical study we examine extent two types nominalizations English – conversion nouns - ing either eventive or referential readings, quantified as cou...

The paper investigates several issues in the syntax/semantics of comparison constructions Turkish. We first show that although use nominalized constituents marking standard comparison, they involve rich clausal structure under this nominalization. Second, we demonstrate interpretation is constrained by syntactic structure, differing from languages primarily thrive on contextual cues. also addre...

This paper describes how NOMLEX, a dictionary of nominalizations, can be used in Information Extraction (IE). This paper details a procedure which maps syntactic and semantic information designed for writing an IE pattern for an active clause (IBM appointed Alice Smith as vice president) into a set of patterns for nominaliza-tions (e.g., IBM's appointment of Alice Smith as vice president and Al...

In this paper we propose a unified account of ergativity in two unrelated languages with very different systems of marking grammatical relations. Both Chol (Mayan, Mexico) and Mẽbengokre (Jê, Brazil) have what appear to be aspect-based ergative splits. However, while in Mẽbengokre ergativity is found in verb stems which are formally nominal, ergativity in Chol is found in what can be shown to b...

Though languages show rich variation in the clausal embedding strategies employed attitude reports, most mainstream formal semantic theories of attitudes assume that complement an verb contributes at least a proposition to semantics. The goal this paper is contribute growing cross-linguistic perspective by providing analyses for two found with verbs Oromo (Cushitic): verbal nominalization, and ...
