Lexicalisation and the Origin of the Human Mind [PDF]

We locate the source of this discontinuity within the language faculty, and thus take the origin of the mind to depend on the origin of the language faculty. We will look at one such proposal put forward by Hauser et al.

Lexicalised Locality: Local Domains and Non-Local Dependencies in a Lexicalised Tree Adjoining Grammar [PDF]
Philosophies, 2021 Contemporary generative grammar assumes that syntactic structure is best described in terms of sets, and that locality conditions, as well as cross-linguistic variation, is determined at the level of designated functional heads. Syntactic operations (merge, MERGE, etc.) build a structure by deriving sets from lexical atoms and recursively (and ...

Configuration morpho-lexicale du nom propre et propension à la lexicalisation
Lexis: Journal in English Lexicology, 2022 Not every proper name is a proper noun. The acquisition of this status is, in principle, yet not always, devoid of visible traces. We postulate that some morpho-lexical configurations are more compatible than others with lexicalisation. This postulate is
