A Frame-Based Semantics of Locative Alternation in LTAG

Yulia Zinova, Laura Kallmeyer · 2012

Abstract. In this paper I present the analysis of locative alternation phenomena in Russian and English. This analysis follows the approach proposed in [13] and uses LTAG and Frame Semantics. The combination of a syntactic theory with an extended domain of locality and frames provides a powerful mechanism for argument linking. Metagrammar factorization allows to determine not only lexical, but also constructional meaning that is essential for locative alternation analysis. 1
