In this paper I want to discuss Goldberg’s claim that phrasal Constructions can be regarded as underspecified statements about dominance and that therefore my claim that she would have to assume 218 Constructions to account for resultative secondary predication in German is wrong. I will discuss earlier HPSG approaches to particle verbs, which are similar to resultatives in many respects. In ad...

There is a considerable linguistic debate on whether phrasal verbs (e.g., turn up, break down) are processed as two separate words connected by a syntactic rule or whether they form a single lexical unit. Moreover, views differ on whether meaning (transparency vs. opacity) plays a role in determining their syntactically-connected or lexical status. As linguistic arguments could not settle these...

Students struggle to learn use phrasal verbs in written English. Books, writings, and social media quotes can all be used as sources. Phrasal are the most common English language. However, students must also understand form of verb order avoid making errors when writing. This study aimed analyze students' narrative texts eleventh grade SMAN 1 Pati was search for types verbs, solutions suggestio...

In this paper, we investigate a full-fledged supervised machine learning framework for identifying English phrasal verbs in a given context. We concentrate on those that we define as the most confusing phrasal verbs, in the sense that they are the most commonly used ones whose occurrence may correspond either to a true phrasal verb or an alignment of a simple verb with a preposition. We constru...

This paper complements a series of works on implicative verbs such as manage to and fail to. It extends the description of simple implicative verbs to phrasal implicatives as take the time to and waste the chance to. It shows that the implicative signatures of verb-noun collocations depend both on the semantic type of the verb and the semantic type of the noun in a systematic way.

In this work we investigate alternatives to automatically detect phrasal terms, defined here as phrasal verbs, phrasal nouns, phrasal adjectives or phrasal adverbs found in a text. The automatic identification of phrasal terms may have several applications in text processing systems. We approach this problem and present a novel approach for detecting phrasal terms in a collection of documents. ...

This paper presents an optimality theoretic approach to the transitive particle verb construction (PVC), also referred to in the literature e.g. as phrasal verbs or separable complex verbs. This construction occurs in most if not all of the Germanic languages and has been studied most intensely and controversially in the generative literature (cf. Dehé et al 2002 and Dehé 2002 for recent analys...
