How Complex Are Complex Predicates?

Syntax, 2007
Abstract. This paper argues that clause union/restructuring constructions such as verb clusters in German do not involve head clustering in the form of (lexical or derived) complex head formation. I provide several arguments showing that clause union properties are licensed in the absence of complex head formation and that complex head formation hence ...

Complex Predicates and Logics for Properties and Relations

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 1998
A logic is introduced for dealing with predicates and relations and their deontations. This is a standard first-order language, with the addition of an operator \(\lambda\) that forms predicates from formulas. This language is interpreted over what the author calls intensional relational structures\(\). An intensional relational structure is an ordered

Complex Predicates in Arrernte

2012
Using the example of Murrinh-Patha, Seiss (2011) illustrates how Australian Aboriginal languages can shed light on the morphology-syntax interface: one aspect of their polysynthetic nature is that information often encoded in phrases and clauses in other languages is instead found in a single morphological word.

Idioms and complex predicates

1994
This chapter will discuss translation problems that have “translation in context” as a common denominator. The expressions under consideration consist of more than one word. Translation of these words separately yields wrong results. Expressions that fit this denominator are idioms, translation idioms, complex predicates and collocations.

The grammaticalization of complex predicates

2012
AbstractThis article examines the grammaticalisation of the so-called complex predicates. It explains that a complex predicate is a construction consisting of a light verb, an article, and a deverbal noun. It analyses the history of complex predicates in the English language and attempts to determine what construction types are encompassed by the ...

Complex Sortal Predicates

2019
We define a formal language for sortals with a lambda operator. By means of this language, a formal representation of the logical structure of complex sortal concepts and complex sortal predicates is possible. A formal semantics for the language is also defined together with a formal system. The system is proved to be complete and sound with respect to
