This paper explores the semantic consequences of the principle of containment embodied by the popular assumption that word formation is entirely syntactic and that there is no generative lexicon. According to the principle of containment, the analysis and structure of a given form must also be contained within the analysis of any structure derived from that form. The implications of the contain...

In the study of Thai nominalization, previous studies have suggested that kaan and khwaam are symmetric. That is to say, they similarity in function, but different meaning. Based on views distribution function structural linguistic theory and, expansion theory, this paper aims khwaam, analyzes grammatical properties nominalizations composed khwaam. It argued there asymmetries between semantics,...

We present a small set of attachment heuristics for postnominal PPs occurring in full-text articles related to enzymes. A detailed analysis of the results suggests their utility for extraction of relations expressed by nominalizations (often with several attached PPs). The system achieves 82% accuracy on a manually annotated test corpus of over 3000 PPs from varied biomedical texts.

Verbal and nominal predicate structures present interesting linguistic properties. In biological texts they express relations between biological entities. We describe PredXtract, a platform which extracts predicate argument structures, and present the results. Mots-clés : Predicate structure, Nominalizations of verbs, Dependency grammar, Link Parser.

This paper presents an analysis of Slovenian deverbal external argument nominalizations in a syntactic approach, where the focus is on Slovenian agentive and instrumental deverbal nominalizations in -(V)lec, the most numerous and productive class in the language according to Stramljič Breznik (1999). It is proposed that these nominals fall in three distinct classes according to the type of the ...

1. Introduction While Japanese contains a varied arsenal for categorial change, the discussion in this chapter will address only two types of nominalizations within the context of The first type appears to belong to the familiar cross-linguistically abundant Ø-derived nominalizations; the second type is deverbal, but not Ø-derived. The analysis I propose for both assumes the SINGLE ENGINE HYPOT...

Institutional identity as a concept in CDA is a field of study that deals with the identities that individuals in institutions obtain, one that merits deep research attention. News interviews as institutional instances can be analyzed based on the impersonal structures because interviewees see themselves as part of the institution and they may not take responsibility when they encounter problem...
