Three sources of head effects
P. 27–51.
This paper develops the claim that head properties arise (at least) due to one of the three factors: (i) the higher position of an element in a compositional structure, (ii) the informational prominence, and (iii) the development of a construction from an appositive(-like) structure. These factors are logically independent and may lead to the assignment of head properties to different elements of a construction. As a result, it is more accurate to speak not of the heads but rather of head effects, which may – but need not – concentrate around a single component of a construction.

Two types of appositional phrases are distinguished in Slavic languages: close and loose. With close constructions, the issues of syntactic headedness and optional case concord between the parts are discussed. Loose appositions are functionally different from close appositions, having a role comparable to secondary predication. ...

The present work is devoted to the syntax of specificational constructions with proper names within a typological perspective. The provided typology is based on the results obtained from the analysis of grammar descriptions and available corpus data for 94 languages. The paper discusses the morphosyntactic means that languages use to express specification, namely juxtaposition, attribution, and ...

The article presents taxonomy of personality traits based on Russian adjectives. As per
sonality structures derived from adjectives have been widespread worldwide, the identifica
tion of such a structure for the Russian language would open up possibility of applying global
taxonomies like the Big Five and HEXACO to the Russian-language context. Participants
were 812 Russian residents; after removing unreliable ...

This paper provides a survey of number agreement in the East Caucasian languages and languages of other language families in contact with East Caucasian. For a sample of 59 idioms I considered number agreement strategies of adjectives in the attributive position and established what factors license agreement in these idioms. Besides, I assessed the weight ...

The article deals with parameters for the study of adjectival derivation from the point of view of semantic typology. The bases of semantic typology of word formation and classification of derived adjectives are considered. It is shown that the parameters of “Eurocentric” standard classifications are shifted towards formal-content samples (derivative formant ~ formant value). The Tungus-Manchu languages demonstrate ...

Статья посвящена регрессу обоснования, описанному Кэрроллом в эссе «Что Черепаха сказала Ахиллу». Дискуссии о регрессе обоснования, начавшиеся задолго до его описания Кэрроллом и уходящие корнями в проблематику топического обоснования в античной и средневековой логике, продолжаются до сих пор. Большинство исследователей согласно, однако, с тем, что ключевой причиной бесконечного регресса является превращение правила вывода в дополнительную ...

This book introduces a method for modelling cognitive foundation of the semantics of English adjectives. The study focuses on three adjectival categories, in particular, “Mental qualities of human beings”, “Moral qualities of human beings” and “Characteristics of human beings’ appearance”. The results of the study show that the human mind peculiarity to interpret the world via antinomies rules the interpretation of ...

The contributions in this volume provide new empirical findings bearing on phenomena that challenge the conception of grammatical heads and/or discuss the notion of head/headedness and its consequences for grammatical theory in a more abstract way. The collected papers view the topic from diverse theoretical perspectives (among others HPSG, Generative Syntax, Optimality Theory) and different ...

Лексическая типология – область лингвистики, которая занимается сопоставительным анализом значений слов в разных языках, – на сегодняшний день добилась больших успехов: разработаны методики сбора и анализа материала, описан целый ряд семантических полей. Однако некоторые методологические ограничения по-прежнему не преодолены: процесс сбора данных очень трудоемок, что сказывается либо на объемах и представительности языковых выборок, либо на ...

This paper aims at describing the syntactic and semantic properties of gradable predicates in Russian Sign Language (RSL). Property signs in RSL, such as big or beautiful, generally behave similarly to stative predicates. However, their compatibility with the degree modifiers and aspectual markers shows that they significantly differ from other stative verbs. Thus, they can ...

The compound phrases are collected from the Universal Dependency treebanks according to part of speech patterns, such as ADJ+NOUN or NOUN+NOUN, using the gold-standard annotations. Each compound phrase is annotated by two experts and a moderator according to the following ...

Traditionally, functioning of major classes of lexical items is described as follows. Nouns prototypically function as arguments, but can also serve as predicates and attributes; verbs are normally used as predicates, but can also appear for arguments and attributes; and adjectives are categorically attributes, while secondary they can be used as predicates. The question arises, ...

The paper presents a cross-linguistic investigation into specific characteristics of the expressions translated as ‘other’. We discuss the appearance of OTHER expressions at a periphery of nominal phrases or before nouns in right-branching languages, their occasional incompatibility with determiners and certain peculiarities in the expression of number. The features discussed suggest that OTHER expressions are ...
