The materials in these experiments were motivated from examples from Pickering & Barry (1991), who provided intuitive ...

, 2008 This thesis investigates the Korean dative construction that consists of the Goal (Indirect Object: IO), an NP marked with a dative marker, and the Theme (Direct Object: DO), an NP marked with an accusative marker. I propose that [IO-DO] is the underlying order and [DO-IO] is derived through scrambling.

Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik, 2011 This paper argues for the adoption of a construction-based perspective to the investigation of diachronic shifts in valency, which is a hitherto largely neglected topic in the framework of valency grammar. On the basis of a comparison of the set of verbs attested in the double object argument structure pattern in a corpus of 18th-century British ...

How Does Speaking A Free Word Order Language Influence Sentence Planning and Production? Evidence From Pitjantjatjara (Pama-Nyungan, Australia). [PDF]
Cogn SciAbstract Sentence production is a stage‐like process of mapping a conceptual representation to the linear speech signal via grammatical rules. While the typological diversity of languages is vast and thus must necessarily influence sentence production, psycholinguistic studies of diverse languages are comparatively rare.
