Mats-word-ny.doc English translations as a clue to the structure of Swedish över.* MATS JOHANSSON 1 Introduction At first blush, prepositional meanings appear highly arbitrary and idiomatic. Moreover, as dictionary entries for reasonably common prepositions show, one and the same preposition can have a considerable range of senses. Lexicographers’ intuitions about what constitutes a main entry and

Fredrik.doc Binding Condition C and Derivation by Phase 1 FREDRIK HEINAT 1 Introduction In earlier theories of generative grammar (e.g. Chomsky 1981), the checking of binding conditions has generally been assumed to take place at Surface-structure or at Logical Form, LF, after reconstruction (see Belletti and Rizzi 1988, among others for applying binding theory at Deep-structure). Up till Chomsky

However, research on syntax in the last ten years has given binding theory less attention. One problem is that even though core concepts used in binding theory, e.g. governing categor

huber-06 On the theory of presentation STEFAN HUBER (LUND UNIVERSITY ) Abstract The aim of the paper is to introduce a new information-structural category presentation and to argue for its relevance and independence from other information-structural layers. It is shown that a successful presentation consists of two steps, namely the import of a new discourse participant and its establishing (proce

Why phrases probe FREDRIK HEINAT (L UND UNIVERSITY ) Abstract This paper looks at the arguments for the stipulation that only heads are probes. Three areas where there traditionally have been made a difference between heads and phrases are examined. These areas are, phrase structure, movement, and selection. The strongest argument against probing phrases seems to be selection. Furthermore, Hallman

Bea2.PDF An Alternative Account of the Interpretation of Referential Metonymy and Metaphori BEATRICE WARREN 1 Introduction Most modern linguists agree that metaphor and metonymy are two distinct constructions arising from two distinct cognitive operations, although they are alike in that they both involve an explicit source expression (that which is mentioned) which suggests an implicit target (in
