I didn't quite understand your poin...Muhammad,<br /><br />I didn't quite understand your point about {[[A B ]and[C D]F]} and different thematic roles. Could you provide a concrete example in some real language (preferably, English)?<br /><br />And, to clarify. Frames are not constituents. Frames are their heads and the connections between the heads and their dependents. This is closer to Dependency Grammar than to Phrase Structure grammar. And I'm not sure there will be any Minimalism-like deletion, copy, movement etc.Peter Gromovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601586254795238403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536960326300527592.post-34718749827318655332010-08-02T00:37:38.677+01:002010-08-02T00:37:38.677+01:00Hi Peter,
this approach seems interesting at leas...Hi Peter,<br /><br />this approach seems interesting at least it conveys somewhat new ideas. on of them is the cooperation of syntax, semantics, ets...<br /><br />but I am wondering how this approach deals with one constituent that plays two different thematic roles in a structure because you mentioned that 'The frame should eventually choose one construct for each role' <br />Suppose that we have this sort of coordination<br />{[[A B ]and[C D]F]}<br />suppose that we have a coordination of two conjuncts and the two conjuncts share a constituent F which is in each conjunct plays a different thematic role.. Now if we assume that the frame should choose one constuct for one role (=Thematic roles) then we are forced to have in the surface structure of the two different constructs which are phonologically the same but syntactically (i.e. in terms of thematic roles) they are different. However the surface structure above, there is only one overt construct so ....<br />what that inidactes to me is that the frame-approach will stipulate that there is 'deletion process' somewhere occuring the frame that affects one of the phonologically same construct to be deleted somewhere in the frame.....?Muhammad Alzaidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375381234799128745noreply@blogger.com
