This paper attempts to argue that the so-called gapless relative clause (GRC) in Korean (Chinese and Japanese as well) can best be dealt with by the Generative Lexicon Theory (GLT) put forward in Pustejovsky (1995). There arises a superficial conflict in the construction: the GRC, with no apparent gap, contains a relative verb that does not directly relate to the head noun in terms of causeeffe...

This study investigates the role played by prosody in the syntactic and semantic disambiguation of string identical Relative Clauses (RC) and Pseudo Relatives (PR) in Italian. While RCs are embedded within the Noun Phrase (NP) they modify, PRs sit in a higher position in the syntactic structure, standing in a sisterhood relation with the head Noun. A production study with 8 Italian speakers set...

Inversion-constructions, like too tasty of a cake and a disaster of a conference, have generally been treated separately from superficially similar-looking pseudo-partitives, like three gallons of water. I argue for an analysis that unifies the syntax and semantics of the two constructions through a proposal about the head of that appears in both. Both constructions involve the composition of t...

This paper explores two hypotheses regarding vector space models that predict the compositionality of German noun-noun compounds: (1) Against our intuition, we demonstrate that window-based rather than syntax-based distributional features perform better predictions, and that not adjectives or verbs but nouns represent the most salient part-of-speech. Our overall best result is state-of-the-art,...

A localist theory of the representation and projection of grammatical features in nominals is presented in which words and phrases functioning as specifiers and modifiers—in addition to heads—project grammatical features to encompassing nominals. Grammatical features may be redundantly encoded in words and phrases fulfilling different grammatical functions. At the level of the nominal, the proj...

This study is about Syntactic Structure of Coordination on the English Translation Surah Al-Mulk. The purposes this research are to find out types constituents form syntactic structure coordination Al-Mulk and explain distribution data formed as sentences having Method in analyzed by using descriptive qualitative method. To collect data, writer used documentation steps analyze reading, collecti...

This paper addresses the interpretation of nominalisations, a particular class of compound nouns whose head noun is derived from a verb and whose modifier is interpreted as an argument of this verb. Any attempt to automatically interpret nominalisations needs to take into account: (a) the selectional constraints imposed by the nominalised compound head, (b) the fact that the relation of the mod...

We present several unsupervised statistical models for the prepositional phrase attachment task that approach the accuracy of the best supervised methods for this task. Our unsupervised approach uses a heuristic based on attachment proximity and trains from raw text that is annotated with only part-of-speech tags and morphological base forms, as opposed to attachment information. It is therefor...
