摘要
In any given language, there are many verbs and many structures. Studying all
of them is a monumental challenge, so in order to get a handle on the system
as a whole, we often focus on specific test cases. While useful, this strategy
can distort the overall picture if the special cases are chosen non-randomly
(they are), are not investigated exhaustively (they are not), and if different
researchers looking at different special cases come to different conclusions
(they do). In this talk, I'll describe a cluster of interrelated, ongoing
projects that try to make sense of the English verb argument structure system
as a whole. The results point to a tight coupling between syntax and semantics
(and, more broadly, conceptual representations).
