Abstract

Prepositions and cases constitute a fruitful field of research for semantics. The historical development of their meaning can shed light on the relations among the semantic roles of participants and on the organization of conceptual space. Ancient Greek allows an in-depth study of such development. The book, based on a wide, diachronically ordered corpus, aims at providing a usage-based analysis of possible patterns of semantic extension, including the mapping of abstract domains onto the concrete domain of space. An analysis of the Greek data further highlights the interplay between specific spatial relations and the internal structure of the entities involved, and shows how case semantics may account for differences on the referential level, rather than merely express clause internal relations. The first chapter contains a typologically based discussion of semantic roles, which sets the language-specific analysis in a wider framework, showing its general relevance and applicability.

Abstract

Lokalpartikeln sind eine Wortart, die nicht auf die Funktion von Adverb oder Adposition (= Prä- bzw. Postposition) festgelegt ist, sondern in der jeweiligen syntaktischen Umgebung adverbial oder adpositional fungiert; ferner können Lokalpartikeln als Präverbien in Verbalkomposita lexikalisch gebunden werden. Um welche dieser drei Verwendungsweisen es sich an jeder einzelnen Belegstelle handelt, wird im Besonderen Teil der Untersuchung dargestellt, während der Allgemeine Teil die syntaktische und semantische Methodik zur Beantwortung dieser Frage präsentiert. Moderne Linguistik wird hier auf das archaische Griechisch der homerischen Epen angewandt, das die typologische Charakteristik trikasueller Lokalpartikeln aufweist.

Abstract

The study of complementation has received considerable attention in generative studies. Following Rosenbaum's (1967) pioneering study of the English complement system, there are extensive studies by Lakoff (1965), Ross (1967), Perlmutter (1971) and a large number of publications. More recent detailed studies are Emonds (1970) and Bresnan (1972) . These studies have increased enormously the body of factual knowledge about the complement system of English, and about the phenomenon of complementation in general. As a consequence there are a number of empirical hypotheses about the structure of human languages which must now be tested against facts of different languages. Of these hypotheses, perhaps the most interesting is that the grammars of all languages make use of the principle of the transformational cycle. Testing this hypothesis constitutes one of the main concerns of the present book. Furthermore, these studies have also raised numerous interesting empirical issues of great importance for linguistic theory, most of which are still awaiting fresh evidence from different languages in order to be settled. This study is directed towards resolving some of these issues by adducing relevent data, primarily from Portuguese.
