A grammar design accommodating packed argument frame information on verbs

Petter Haugereid · Waseda University Repository (Waseda University) · 2011

This paper presents a comparison of two designs for implementing argument frame information on verbs.In the first design, alternating verbs will be represented with one lexical entry pr.possible argument frame.In the other design, each verb form will be associated with only one lexical entry containing a packed representation of the possible argument frames.The first design represents how valence alternations are treated in lexicalist grammars, while the second shows how valence alternations can be handled in a constructionalist grammar.The comparison is done with an implemented "deep" grammar of Norwegian.
