  • Chapter 1 Typology of Complement Clauses Magdalena Lohninger University of Vienna Susi Wurmbrand University of Vienna
    Chapter 1 Typology of Complement Clauses Magdalena Lohninger University of Vienna Susi Wurmbrand University of Vienna Put abstract here with \abstract. 1 Introduction—Universal questions about complement clauses Following Dixon (2010), complement clauses can be defined along several dimen- sions: they have the internal structure of a clause (i.e., a predicate-argument con- figuration); they function as a core argument of another predicate (the matrixor main predicate); they are restricted to a limited set of matrix predicates; and they describe semantic concepts such as propositions, facts, activities, states, events or situations (they cannot simply refer to a place or time). In this chapter we will follow this characterization and summarize major findings of clauses that “fill an argument slot in the structure of another clause” (Dixon (2010), 370). When looking at complement clauses typologically, one striking characteris- tic is found: despite extensive variation, there are restrictions of different sorts within and across languages, determined by the semantics of the matrix predi- cate, the semantics of the complement clause as well as the complement’s mor- phosyntactic properties. No language follows an “anything goes” strategy and the combination of matrix predicates and different types and meanings of com- plement clauses is often not free. However, these restrictions are not completely uniform. Cross-linguistically, the meaning of a complementation configuration is Change with \papernote Magdalena Lohninger & Susi Wurmbrand mapped

  • Hillary Clinton Is Not Mitt Romney Rich: Nouns Modifying Degree and Dimen- Sion of Adjectives1 Charlie O’HARA — University of Southern California
    Hillary Clinton is not Mitt Romney rich: Nouns modifying degree and dimen- sion of adjectives1 Charlie O’HARA — University of Southern California Abstract. In loose English speech, speakers can be observed to use nouns to modify adjectives. This paper explores the four readings which this construction can attain, associated with four types of parameters typically associated with adjectives: degrees, judges, comparison classes, and dimensions. A formal analysis is put forth that derives all four phenomena by recentering pragmatic halos around the modifying noun. Keywords: adjectives, degree, dimensions, comparison class, equative, alternatives. 1. Introduction Consider the sentence in (1). (1) Hillary Clinton is rich, but not Mitt Romney rich. Mitt Romney rich is indicative of a construction that seems unique to varieties of English, where a noun phrase modifies the meaning of the following adjective. Mitt Romney rich can be ambiguous between several different readings. (2) a. How rich is Hillary Clinton? b. Does Hillary Clinton care about poor people? c. Mitt Romney’s only inviting rich people to his birthday party, did he invite Hillary Clinton? As an answer to the first question, (1) obtains the DEGREE READING: Mitt Romney rich means something similar to as rich as Mitt Romney. The second question obtains a DIMENSION READING, Mitt Romney rich means something like rich in the way Mitt Romney is. The third reading is a JUDGE READING, similar to is considered rich by Mitt Romney. A fourth reading is more difficult to obtain with the sentence in (1), but is more apparent in (3). (3) They are rich, of course [...], but not New York City rich.

  • A Functional-Typological Account of NP-Clause Parallels SLE 2012 - J
    A functional-typological account of NP-clause parallels SLE 2012 - J. Rijkhoff (Aarhus University, Denmark) 1. Preliminaries - Subject: similarities between SEMANTIC REPRESENTATIONS of NP and clause (often iconically reflected in morphology and syntax); ‘symmetry model’ developed within theory of F(D)G. - Main point: the same five FUNCTIONAL MODIFIER CATEGORIES can be used to analyze NPs and clauses (e.g. Rijkhoff 2008a, 2008c, 2009): (i) CLASSIFYING MODIFIERS, (ii) QUALIFYING MODIFIERS, (iii) QUANTIFYING MODIFIERS, (iv) LOCALIZING or ANCHORING MODIFIERS, and (v) DISCOURSE-REFERENTIAL MODIFIERS (on ATTITUDINAL MODIFICATION, see e.g. Rijkhoff 2010). - Method: combination of theory-driven data collection and data-driven hypothesis formation. ! - ‘functional’: as already intended by Prague School linguists, who were “seeking to understand what jobs the various components were doing […]” (Sampson 1980: 104). - ‘typological’: model based on a data from a representative 50-lge. sample of the world’s languages (Rijkhoff et al. 1993; Rijkhoff & Bakker 1998). ! Modifier categories include both grammatical and lexical modifiers; they cover all ‘dependents’ that are not arguments or complements. ! Modifiers are distributed over ‘nested’ layers around the head constituent, reflecting differences in SEMANTIC SCOPE. Conventionally, grammatical modifier categories (‘operators’) like Demonstratives or Tense (both: LOCALIZING/ANCHORING MODIFIERS) are represented on the left, whereas lexical modifiers (‘satellites’), such as adjectives, adverb(ial)s, PPs

  • Jezebel HD:Cour:322:Axioms.Synt.Conc.Fm
    The Fundamental Relations of Syntax and Conceptual Structure Some ideas for discussion Richard C. DeArmond 1 Introduction. Our intention here is to create a set of terms for basic syntax and their conceptual counter- parts. We will start with a prime, which cannot be defined, and build up the definitions from these primes. The following box contains the corresponding units of conceptual structure and their correspondent units of syntactic structure: Table 1: Conceptual and Grammatical Terms Conceptual Grammatical Suggested Primes STATE IMPLICATOR CHANGE CAUSE COLOUR? SOLID? LIQUID? Form Form predicate head (part of speech (N, V, A, P)) implicator pointer predicator basic head (semantic) argument (syntactic) argument basic eventuality basic phrase (unmodified), X1 complete eventuality clause, CP (or NegP?) 1 Table 1: Conceptual and Grammatical Terms Conceptual Grammatical (syntactic) operator (semantic) modifier lexical modifier 2 The Primes The term predicate is nearly impossible to define without containing circular defini- tions. The basic idea is that a predicate is conceptually the heart of an eventuality--an event or a state. The best way to treat this problem is to consider a predicate a prime form--a form which cannot be defined in terms of smaller units. However, a predicate consists of a bunch of semantic-conceptual features. Thus, a predicate is not a prime. At this time no one knows what the set of conceptual primary features are. We can think of a predicate as a bundle of features, but then this term needs to be defined. A appropriate bundle of features determines the meaning of a form. This is hard to illustrate, as the features are less than clear and easy to access.

  • Grammaticalization, Constructions and the Incremental Development of Language: Suggestions from the Development of Degree Modifiers in English
    Grammaticalization, constructions and the incremental development of language: Suggestions from the development of Degree Modifiers in English Elizabeth Closs Traugott 1. Introduction When we consider the topic of “language evolution: cognitive and cultural factors”, one of the first questions that come to mind is what is meant by “evolution”: language change over the course of recorded history (the time- span of which is very short, some seven thousand years only), or the bio- logical and cognitive development of the language capacity in the species (the time-span of which is geological, possibly of over two hundred thou- sand years). As a historical linguist I will be discussing “language evolu- tion” in the first sense, assuming that the historical record (all written until about a century and a half ago, when live recording began) reflects modern cognitive ability and a stable stage in the evolved human language capacity.1 By hypothesis, millennia ago, there were earlier stages that had not evolved as far; possibly, millennia from now, it will evolve further, but neither the very distant past nor the future are accessible, and can only be the subject of speculation. Another question is which model of the human language capacity seems likely to be plausible in the pursuit of hypotheses about the origins and development of language in the biological sense. In this paper I explore some aspects of the relationship between linguistic constructions and grammaticalization. I assume that language is fundamen- tally a symbolic system that pairs form and meaning. Since constructions as theoretical objects are designed to capture systematic associations between form and meaning, I assume that constructions, conceived in recent tradi- tions of Construction Grammar (e.g., Goldberg 1995; Kay & Fillmore 1999), 1 When this modern capacity developed is controversial; so too is the extent to which its development was rapid or slow (see Wong 2005 for discussion).
