    Chapter One Introductions 1.0 Background: This chapter provides a historical framework for the study specifically it will provide description of the context of the study and gives short account of history of English language in Sudan. It is also provide a description of the study problem and formulates the question and hypotheses of the study. The significance of the study was shown. The scope and limitation of the study. Finally, the study unfolds the methodology to be adopted for conducting the empirical part of study. 1.1 Context of the Study problem: During the British colonial period of Sudan (1898- 1956). English language was the official language of the state. It was the medium of instruction in the educational institution during that period. It is worth mentioning that most of teachers at that time were native speakers of English and that allowed a wide exposure of English language for Sudanese students. Late after Sudan gained its independence in 1956 Arabic language began gradually to replace English as medium of instruction. Consequently, English language comes to be taught as a foreign language. 1 The current status of this language in the context of Sudan shows that it is declining and losing its significance in the education environment in this country because the purposes of learning this language have been changed. Upon considering its characteristics, English is a language which is rich in what are calls phrasal verbs are the most frequently used types of figurative language in discourse. For Sudanese secondary schools students these guises of language (i.e. phrasal verbs) are difficult to deal with because they are not relevant of the culture of the target language.

Introduction It is widely recognized that Japanese manner of motion verbs do not tolerate a so-called GOAL expression -ni, as observed in (1) (see e.g. Yoneyama (1986), Kageyama and Yumoto (1997), Ueno and Kageyama (2000)). 1' 2 The same is true of Korean (cf. Lee (1999)). (1) Japanese: a. *?Taro wa gakko-ni arui-ta Taro TOP school-GOAL walk-PAST `(Lit.)Taro walked to school' b. *?Taro wa gakko-ni hasi-tta Taro TOP school-GOAL run-PAST `(Lit.)Taro ran to school' Korean: c. *?Taro-nun yek-e keless-ta Taro-TOP station-GOAL walk-PAST `(Lit.)Taro walked to the station' d. *?Taro yek-e tallyess-ta Taro-TOP station-GOAL run-PAST `(Lit.)Taro ran to the station' On the other hand, in English, the expressions corresponding to (1) are natural. (2) a. John walked to school. b. John ran to school. The intended situations in (2) should be realized in Japanese with a V-V compound or a V-te-V compound, such as arui-te-iku `go by walking' and hasi-tte-iku 'go by running'. In Korean, as in Japanese, we should use compound verbs. We will call V -te-V compounds in Japanese TE-compounds, to distinguish them from V-V compounds. 3' 4 * I would like to express my deep gratitude to Prof. Chungmin Lee for kindly giving me advice.

    Chapter Ii the Types of Phrasal Verbs in Movie Snow White and the Huntsman by Rupert Sanders

    33 CHAPTER II THE TYPES OF PHRASAL VERBS IN MOVIE SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN BY RUPERT SANDERS In this chapter, the researcher will analyzed the types of phrasal verbs. It is to complete the first question in this research. The researcher had been categorizing the types of phrasal verbs and form that divided into verb and adverb, also sometimes prepositions. 2.1. Types of Phrasal Verbs in movie Snow White and the Huntsman According to Heaton (1985:103) considers that phrasal verbs are compound verbs that result from combining a verb with an adverb or a preposition, the resulting compound verb being idiomatic. Phrasal verb is one of important part of grammar that almost found in English language. Based on Andrea Rosalia in her book “A Holistic Approach to Phrasal Verb”, Phrasal verbs are considered to be a very important and frequently occurring feature of the English language. First of all, they are so common in every day conversation, and non-native speakers who wish to sound natural when speaking this language need to learn their grammar in order to know how to produce them correctly. Secondly, the habit of inventing phrasal verbs has been the source of great enrichment of the language (Andrea Rosalia, 2012:16). A grammarian such as Eduard, Vlad (1998:93) describes phrasal verbs as "combinations of a lexical verb and adverbial particle". It means that the verb if wants to be a phrasal verb always followed by particle. It can be one particle or two particles in one verb. If the case is like that, it called as multi word verbs.

    Snyder, William (in press) Compound word formation. In Jeffrey Lidz, William Snyder, and Joseph Pater (eds.) The Oxford Handbook of Developmental Linguistics . Oxford: Oxford University Press. CHAPTER 6 Compound Word Formation William Snyder Languages differ in the mechanisms they provide for combining existing words into new, “compound” words. This chapter will focus on two major types of compound: synthetic -ER compounds, like English dishwasher (for either a human or a machine that washes dishes), where “-ER” stands for the crosslinguistic counterparts to agentive and instrumental -er in English; and endocentric bare-stem compounds, like English flower book , which could refer to a book about flowers, a book used to store pressed flowers, or many other types of book, as long there is a salient connection to flowers. With both types of compounding we find systematic cross- linguistic variation, and a literature that addresses some of the resulting questions for child language acquisition. In addition to these two varieties of compounding, a few others will be mentioned that look like promising areas for coordinated research on cross-linguistic variation and language acquisition. 6.1 Compounding—A Selective Review 6.1.1 Terminology The first step will be defining some key terms. An unfortunate aspect of the linguistic literature on morphology is a remarkable lack of consistency in what the “basic” terms are taken to mean. Strictly speaking one should begin with the very term “word,” but as Spencer (1991: 453) puts it, “One of the key unresolved questions in morphology is, ‘What is a word?’.” Setting this grander question to one side, a word will be called a “compound” if it is composed of two or more other words, and has approximately the same privileges of occurrence within a sentence as do other word-level members of its syntactic category (N, V, A, or P).

    A Minimalist Study of Complex Verb Formation: Cross-Linguistic Paerns and Variation

    A Minimalist Study of Complex Verb Formation: Cross-linguistic Paerns and Variation Chenchen Julio Song, [email protected] PhD First Year Report, June 2016 Abstract is report investigates the cross-linguistic paerns and structural variation in com- plex verbs within a Minimalist and Distributed Morphology framework. Based on data from English, German, Hungarian, Chinese, and Japanese, three general mechanisms are proposed for complex verb formation, including Akt-licensing, “two-peaked” adjunction, and trans-workspace recategorization. e interaction of these mechanisms yields three levels of complex verb formation, i.e. Root level, verbalizer level, and beyond verbalizer level. In particular, the verbalizer (together with its Akt extension) is identified as the boundary between the word-internal and word-external domains of complex verbs. With these techniques, a unified analysis for the cohesion level, separability, component cate- gory, and semantic nature of complex verbs is tentatively presented. 1 Introduction1 Complex verbs may be complex in form or meaning (or both). For example, break (an Accom- plishment verb) is simple in form but complex in meaning (with two subevents), understand (a Stative verb) is complex in form but simple in meaning, and get up is complex in both form and meaning. is report is primarily based on formal complexity2 but tries to fit meaning into the picture as well. Complex verbs are cross-linguistically common. e above-mentioned understand and get up represent just two types: prefixed verb and phrasal verb. ere are still other types of complex verb, such as compound verb (e.g. stir-fry). ese are just descriptive terms, which I use for expository convenience.

    Yearbook ofmorphology 3 (1990),201-216 Syntactic words and n*"1orphological words, simple and composite Arnold M. Zwicky 1. SYNTAGMATIC UNITS AND PARADIGMATIC UNITS What is the relationship between the simple or elementary objects of grammar, word- like things, and its composite or complex objects, phrase-like things? I focus here on a small piece of this gargantuan topic, having to do specifically with the elementary objects of morphosyntax, rather than with the grammar as a whole: ‘syntactic words’, the syntagmatic units I will call Ws; and ‘morphological words’, the paradigmatic units I will call moremes. The distinction at issue is a familiar one - it is made clearly, though not with this terminology, in careful discussions of the notion of word, such as those in Lyons (1968: sec. 5.4) and Matthews (1974) - but for some reason generative grammarians have for the most part failed to take the distinction seriously, preferring instead to use references to ‘X°’ units as if the small objects of syntax and the large objects of morphology have the same status, in fact, as if they coincided with one another. But they are objects ofquite different character - the fonner are expression tokens, the latter are expression types -and the question of whether they are in some sense coincident with one another is an empirical question, to be decided by considering a wide range of problematic data, not via a terminological or notational stipulation. Indeed, familiar data suggest quite strongly that coincidence is merely the default relationship between

  • Compositionality in English Deverbal Compounds

    Compositionality in English Deverbal Compounds

    Chapter 3 Compositionality in English deverbal compounds: The role of the head Gianina Iordăchioaia University of Stuttgart Lonneke van der Plas University of Malta Glorianna Jagfeld Lancaster University This paper is concerned with the compositionality of deverbal compounds such as budget assessment in English. We present an interdisciplinary study on how the morphosyntactic properties of the deverbal noun head (e.g., assessment) can pre- dict the interpretation of the compound, as mediated by the syntactic-semantic relationship between the non-head (e.g., budget) and the head. We start with Grim- shaw’s (1990) observation that deverbal nouns are ambiguous between composi- tionally interpreted argument structure nominals, which inherit verbal structure and realize arguments (e.g., the assessment of the budget by the government), and more lexicalized result nominals, which preserve no verbal properties or arguments (e.g., The assessment is on the table.). Our hypothesis is that deverbal compounds with argument structure nominal heads are fully compositional and, in our system, more easily predictable than those headed by result nominals, since their composi- tional make-up triggers an (unambiguous) object interpretation of the non-heads. Linguistic evidence gathered from corpora and human annotations, and evaluated with machine learning techniques supports this hypothesis. At the same time, it raises interesting discussion points on how different properties of the head con- tribute to the interpretation of the deverbal compound.
