Building verbs in Chuj : Consequences for the nature of roots / Jess Ica Coon. // Journal of Linguistics Vol. 55- Issue 1/2019
2019.
p. 35-81.

This paper offers an in-depth look at roots and verb stem morphology in Chuj (Mayan) in order to address a larger question: when it comes to the formation of verb stems, what information is contributed by the root, and what is contributed by the functional heads? I show first that roots in Chuj are not acategorical in the strict sense (cf. Borer 2005), but must be grouped into classes based on their stem-forming possibilities. Root class does not map directly to surface lexical category, but does determine which functional heads (i.e. valence morphology) may merge with the root. Second, I show that while the introduction of the external argument, along with clausal licensing and agreement generally, are all governed by higher functional heads, the presence or absence of an internal argument is dictated by the root. Specifically, I show that transitive roots in Chuj always combine with an internal argument, whether it be (i) a full DP, (ii) a bare pseudo-incorporated NP, or (iii) an implicit object in an antipassive. In the spirit of work such as Levinson (2007, 2014), I connect this to the semantic type of the root; root class reflects semantic type, and semantic type affects the root’s combinatorial properties. This work also contributes to the discussion of how valence morphology operates. In line with works such as Alexiadou, Anagnostopoulou & Schäfer (2006), I argue that valence morphology applies directly to roots, rather than to some ‘inherent valence’ of a verb.

Đa nghĩa và cấu trúc tham tố cấu trúc cú pháp của vị từ trong tiếng Việt = Polysemy and argument structure, synactic structure of polysemous verbs in Vietnamese / Đậu Thành Vinh, Lê Kính Thắng. // Ngôn ngữ và đời sống. 2015, Số 10 (240).
2015
tr. 136-140

Polysemy is a widespread phenomenonb characterizing the majority of words, any theory of the representation of word meaning must be able to account for it. In Vietnamese, Polysemy verb can be a head of the different argument structures and syntactic structures. In Vietnamese, monovalency verbs, which are intransitive verbs, can be head of the structure of bivalency verbs and vice serva. The phenomenon reflect the interface between verb senses and argument structures and synatic structures that they play roles as the head. It is verb sense that plays the dicisive role how argument structure and syntactic structure, which it is the head, will be.

Le débat sur la place de la sémantique dans l’acquisition des structures argumentales / Jacques François. // Langages 2016, N.201.
2016
p. 91 - 110.

Les deux ouvrages de S. Pinker (1984, 1989 réédité en 2013) consacrés à l’acquisition des structures argumentales ont entraîné une réplique de M. Tomasello (1992) basée sur des observations développementales mettant en avant l’acquisition de fragments syntaxiques associés à un contenu sémantique et des conditions pragmatiques d’emploi.
