Previous research has focused on evaluating the nouns and verbs in parents' input through type/token ratios. This research offers an additional means of evaluating parent speech by first examining the frequencies of individual nouns, verbs and descriptors and second examining the learning task presented to children. Study 1 examines 25 transcripts from the CHILDES database of English-speaking p...

This book is a long-needed study of certain verbal collocations in English which – on the basis of semantic and syntactic similarities – Claudia Claridge groups together as 'multi-word verbs', including: phrasal verbs (burn N down [transitive], fly away [intransitive]), prepositional verbs (agree to N), phrasal prepositional verbs (look down on N [transitive], put N down to N [ditransitive]), v...

The concept of a “dynamic frame” is introduced for use in the analysis of event structure. It is the external boundary metaphorically encircling a perceived event which determines the temporal scale on which the event is interpreted. The dynamic frame is used in two examples to simplify the analysis of English phenomena: 1) it is shown that semelfactive verbs can be considered a special case of...

Data collected from three corpus-informed textbooks show that there been being a change grammatical usage, specifically form In particular, traditional views s...

Lexical classifications have proved useful in supporting various linguistic and natural language processing (NLP) tasks. The largest verb classification in English is Levin's (1993) work. VerbNet (Kipper-Schuler 2006) the largest computational verb lexicon currently available for English provides detailed syntactic-semantic descriptions of Levin classes. While the classes included are extensive...

This paper deals with an aspectual classification of Korean and Japanese verbs based on Vendler (1967). Both of Korean and Japanese verbs are classified into 12 distinctive aspectual categories by their restrictions on time adverbials, progressive tenses and logical entailments. A well-established aspectual verb classes provide us not only with a better understanding of both languages, but also...

Learning the English past tense is characterized by a U-shaped learning function for the irregular verbs. Existing cognitive models rely on a sudden increases in vocabulary, a high token-frequency of regular verbs, and convoluted schemes of feedback in order to model this phenomenon. All these assumptions are at odds with empirical data. In this paper a hybrid ACT-R model is presented that show...

Verb-particle constructions (phrasal verbs) are a notoriously difficult aspect of English to acquire for second-language (L2) learners. This study was conducted to assess whether L2 English speakers would show sensitivity to the subtle semantic properties of these constructions, namely the gradations in semantic transparency of different verb-particle constructions (e.g., finish up vs. chew out...
