Une approche lexicalisée des phénomènes de contrôle
Karine Baschung · Langages · 1996
Karine Baschung : A lexicalist approach of control phenomena We deal with the problem of identifying the obligatory controller of an infinitival complement. We show that a lexical approach is descriptively more adequate than the purely syntactic one of generative grammarians (Minimal Distance Principle) or a purely semantic one (as in GPSG). We offer a formalization in Unification Categorial grammar (UCG) that captures the lexical generalizations we have found to hold in French. We also consider alternative approaches within lexical semantics (Dowty) or HPSG (Pollard and Sag).
