Analog zu dem verbalen Bereich weist auch die nominale Domäne eine Reihe semantisch-syntaktischer Regularitäten und Restriktionen bezüglich ihrer internen Struktur auf. Als signifikante Parallelen zwischen Nominalstrukturen und Sätzen gelten Kontroll-, Bindungs- als auch Passivisierungsverhalten. Der Schwerpunkt des in der letzten Phase des Projekts B8 des SFB 340 entwickelten Nominalphrasenfragments liegt auf der Ausarbeitung einer Analyse für komplexe Nominalstrukturen, der eine bestimmte Menge empirisch basierter Generalisierungen zugrunde liegen. Neben der Behandlung der Kongruenzphänomene innerhalb der Nominalphrase, steht die Beschreibung der Argumentstruktur deutscher Nomina im Mittelpunkt. Das Ziel ist, eine solche Analyse zu entwickeln, die ohne leere Elemente und Spuren innerhalb der NP auskommt und eine gute Basis für Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten darstellen kann. Das Papier soll einen Überblick über die empirischen und theoretischen Annahmen geben, die der hier vorgestellten Analyse zugrunde liegen und einige ausgewählte Phänomene aus dem Nominalphrasenbereich im HPSG-Formalismus zu skizzieren. Im ersten Abschnitt wird eine Taxonomie der deutschen Nomina hinsichtlich ihrer Valenzeigenschaften vorgestellt. Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses stehen dabei Nomina mit einer Argumentstruktur. Weiterhin werden die Genitiv-NPn behandelt. Diskutiert werden insbesondere der kategoriale Status und die syntaktische Funktion der pränominalen Genitive. In Kapitel Analyse wird eine HPSG-Analyse deutscher NPn vorgeschlagen, die der Implementierung der Nominalsyntax im Projekt B8 zugrunde liegt.
In this paper, semantic aspects of P1N1P2 word sequences will be discussed. Based on syntactic analysis of Trawinski (2003), which assumes prepositions heading P1N1P2NP combinations to be able to raise and realize syntactically complements of their arguments, we will investigate whether semantic representation of these expressions can be considered as an instance of the combinatorics semantics. We will investigate three German PPs involving expressions under consideration with respect to two criteria of internal semantic regularity adopted from Sailer (2000) and we will observe that the discussed expressions are not uniform with regard to the semantic properties. While the logical form of some of them can be computed by means of ordinary translations and a set of standard derivational operations, the other require additional handling methods. However, there are approaches available within the HPSG paradigm that are suited to account for these data. Here, we will briefly present the external selection approach of Soehn (2003) and the phrasal lexical entries approach of Sailer (2000) and we will show how they interact with the syntactic approach of Trawinski (2003).
One of the most popular techniques used in HPSG-based studies to describe linguistic phenomena is the raising mechanism. Besides ordinary raising verbs or adjectives, this tool has been applied for handling verbal complexes and discontinuous constituents, among other phenomena. In this paper, a new application for raising within the HPSG paradigm will be discussed, thereby investigating data from the prepositional domain. We will analyze linguistic properties of word combinations in German consisting of a preposition, a noun, and another preposition (such as auf Grund von (‘by virtue of’)), thus arguing that raising is the most appropriate method for satisfactorily describing the crucial syntactic features which are typical for those expressions. The objective of this paper is thus to demonstrate the efficiency of the raising mechanism as used in HPSG, and therefore, to emphasize the importance of designing a satisfactory uniform theory of raising within this grammar framework.
This paper focuses on aspects of the licensing of adverbial noun phrases (AdvNPs) in the HPSG grammar framework. In the first part, empirical issues will be discussed. A number of AdvNPs will be examined with respect to various linguistic phenomena in order to find out to what extent AdvNPs share syntactic and semantic properties with non-adverbial NPs. Based on empirical generalizations, a lexical constraint for licensing both AdvNPs and non-adverbial NPs will be provided. Further on, problems of structural licensing of phrases containing AdvNPs that arise within the standard HPSG framework of Pollard and Sag (1994) will be pointed out, and a possible solution will be proposed. The objective is to provide a constraint-based treatment of NPs which describes non-redundantly both their adverbial and non-adverbial usages. The analysis proposed in this paper applies lexical and phrasal implicational constraints and does not require any radical modifications or extensions of the standard HPSG geometry of Pollard and Sag (1994).
Since adverbial NPs have particularly high frequency and a wide spectrum of uses in inflectional languages such as Polish, we will take Polish data into consideration.
