Complex Predicates

2010
Complex predicates are multipredicational, but monoclausal structures. They have proven problematic for linguistic theory, particularly for proposed distinctions between the lexicon, morphology, and syntax. This volume focuses on the mapping from morphosyntactic structures to event structure, and in particular the constraints on possible mappings.

Complex predicates

2016
Abstract The main goal of this chapter is to provide a descriptive and critical overview of the some of the most striking and interesting problems and questions related to Romance complex predicates such as causative and perception verb constructions, covering such areas as the properties of the Romance causative construction with ...

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

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
