Multi-word expressions, verb-particle constructions, idiomatically combining phrases, and phrasal idioms have something in common: not all of their elements contribute to the argument structure of the predicate implicated by the expression. Radically lexicalized theories of grammar that avoid string-, term-, logical form-, and tree-writing, and categorial grammars that avoid wrap operation, make predictions about the categories involved in verb-particles and phrasal idioms. They may require singleton types, which can only substitute for one value, not just for one kind of value. These types are asymmetric: they can be arguments only. They also narrowly constrain the kind of semantic value that can correspond to such syntactic categories. Idiomatically combining phrases do not subcategorize for singleton types, and they exploit another locally computable and compositional property of a correspondence, that every syntactic expression can project its head word. Such MWEs can be seen as empirically realized categorial possibilities rather than lacuna in a theory of lexicalizable syntactic categories.

Idioms as multi-word expressions in Turkish
Güven, Arzu Burcu; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2020-10)
Idioms constitute several challenges for both Natural Language Processing (NLP) and linguistic analysis. A better understanding of idioms will yield valuable insights about natural language as well as the way it is processed. The relevance of idioms, along with the fact that Turkish is a rather unexplored language from this perspective, motivates us to work on Turkish idioms. Here, we aim to demonstrate a grammatical study on Turkish idioms that were selected in accordance with distributional models.
Inferable and Partitive Indefinites in Topic Position
Von Heusinger, Klaus; Özge, Umut (Brill, 2021-01-01)
The topic position in a sentence is reserved for familiar and/or referential arguments (Kuno, 1972; Reinhart, 1981; Portner & Yabushita, 2001). Thus, the typical topic is a definite expression such as a pronoun, a proper name or a definite noun phrase. However, indefinites can appear in topic position if they are referential, i.e. specific or generic. Following Prince (1981c) we argue that indefinite noun phrases can also be topics if they are weakly familiar, i.e. discourse-linked. We assume that there are...
Connective position, argument order and ınformation structure of discourse connectives in written turkish texts
Demirşahin, Işın; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2008)
A text is a linguistic structure that is more than a random collection of sentences. A text is cohesive (Halliday & Hasan, 1976) and coherent (Mann & Thompson, 1987, 1988). Mainly ignored in the field of linguistics until recently, the text and the discourse structure have been inquired from various points of view (Asher, 1993; Asher & Lascarides, 1998; Grosz & Sidner, 1986; Mann & Thompson, 1987, 1988; Webber, 2004). D-LTAG is a discourse grammar work that extends a lexicalized sentence level grammar LTAG ...
Partial direct product difference sets and almost quaternary sequences
Özden, Büşra; Yayla, Oğuz (2021-01-01)
In this paper, we study the m-ary sequences with (non-consecutive) two zero-symbols and at most two distinct autocorrelation coefficients, which are known as almost m-ary nearly perfect sequences. We show that these sequences are equivalent to P-partial direct product difference sets (PDPDS), then we extend known results on the sequences with two consecutive zero symbols to non-consecutive case. Next, we study the notion of multipliers and orbit combination for P-PDPDS. Finally, we present two construction ...
Reformulation of the concept of understanding in Heidegger's and Gadamer's hermeneutic theories
Günok, Emrah; Ergüden, Akın; Department of Philosophy (2004)
The goal of the present dissertation is to display the reconstruction of the concept of understanding which has down through the history of philosophy been used as the synonym of knowing. Hence, my main intention is to focus on the Heidegger2s and Gadamer2s critique of epistemological conception of understanding and their reevaluation of this concept in terms of ontology. Finally, I will try to examine the similarities and dissimilarities between the philosophers and try to call attention to their emphasis ...
