Arguments of non-heads
(Akademie Verlag, 2013)
The current paper investigates these cases from a lexicalist perspective. In particular, I will discuss whether realizations of arguments of non-heads of the above types are based on a regular grammatical process or not. I will argue that this is the case indeed with constructions of the type Designanalyse des Geschirrs, where the post-nominal element figures as argument of both the head as well as the non-head. In contrast, (prepositional) external argument realizations of the type in (1)—i.e. constructions in which ...

Thematic information, argument structure, and discourse adaptation in language production
(Mouton de Gruyter, 2004)
In the minds of language users, situations are represented as states, processes, and events. Each such representation originates from perception, imagination, or illusion (cf. e.g., Glasersfeld 1972) and includes the partaking entities and the respective relations holding between them. Since situations cannot be represented by linguistic means in all their aspects, verbalization always requires schematization, i.e. the reduction of information. In the consequence, in linguistic expressions some of the information ...

Conceptual and grammatical characteristics of argument alternations: the case of decausative verbs
(2003)
In this paper the grammatical and conceptual properties of decausative verbs of the type The plate broke are explored from the viewpoint of a model of language production that systematically upholds the distinction between grammatical and extralinguistic information. In the constructions under consideration, an agentive entity — just like in passives — is suppressed by grammatical means. The first part of the paper centers around the question of whether an implicit entity can be derived from linguistic form, that is, ...

Alexiadou, Artemis & Liliane Haegemann & Melita Stavrou. 2006. Noun Phrase in the Generative Perspective (Studies in Generative Grammar 71). Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. xxii, 664 S.
(2009)
Die Syntax der nominalen Projektion, also der Nominalphrase (NP), gilt als ein klassisches Thema der Sprachwissenschaft, welches gleichzeitig aber auch sehr heterogen ist, was sich in der Literatur in oft völlig gegen-sätzlichen theoretischen Einsichten niederschlägt. Die vorliegende, über 650 Seiten umfassende Monographie untersucht die nominale Projektion und deren strukturelle Eigenschaften aus generativer Sicht. Es wird sprachvergleichend vorgegangen, wobei sich die Autorinnen dem ...

Nominal composition and the demarcation between morphology and syntax: Grammatical, variational, and cognitive factors
(WVT Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Trier, 2012)
In this paper, the authors investigate nominal compounds in English and German against the background of the debate about the boundary between morphological and syntactic structure building in language. After an examination of grammatical, variational as well as functional differences between compounds and phrases, they focus on processing factors to disentangle cognitive differences between the two domains. Crucially, the authors report on three experimental studies, which are designed to reveal contrasts in the ...

fürchten vs. ängstigen: Thematische Rollen und Ereignisstrukturen psychischer Verben ineinem Modell der Sprachproduktion
(infix-Verlag, 1999)
Die Abbildung außersprachlicher auf sprachsystematische Strukturen stellt für modulare Modelle der Sprachproduktion eine Herausforderung dar: So können scheinbar synonyme Verben ihre thematisch ausgezeichneten Argumente unterschiedlich syntaktisch positionieren: Hans ängstigt Maria oder Maria fürchtet Hans. Theoretisch-linguistische Abhandlungen deuten diese Divergenz als grammatische Eigenheit der Psych-Verben, welche entweder im Sinne einer lexikalischen Stipulation bzw. als Reflex syntaktischer Operationen beschrieben ...
