Despite the wide discussion of these two structures (VP-attached and NP1-attached), we raise the possibility for a third parsing structure (about 11.3% from all 1845 instances analyzed), a co-attachment to both verb and noun. A co-attachment structure denotes the lack of [movement] feature in both the verb and noun surrounding a PP. This proposal is arrived when we annotate the semantic feature [-movement] to both VP and NP1, respectively, in a caused-motion construction of V NP1 into NP2 (e.g., vote an individual into the presidency; shamed us into pity; define ourselves into a box). © 2011 by Liyin Chen, Siaw-Fong Chung, and Chao-Lin Liu. | 關聯: | PACLIC 25 - Proceedings of the 25th Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information and Computation, 607-614 | 資料類型: | conference |
