Intermediate Grammars G 0 … G i G i+1 …… G t G i G i+1 : a step between two intermediate grammars The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 2

Intermediate Grammars G 0 … G i G i+1 …… G t For each step there is - a cause/trigger (cue) - an ordering - a speed Program: establish cause/ordering/speed for each step The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 3

The distinction N/V lexical categories (N o /V o /A o /P o ) word categories functional categories (I o /C o /D o /P o -types) The lexical categories a.correspond with a real experience b.have a primary quality c.N and V are present in all languages of the world The functional categories a.relate other words and phrases b.have a secondary quality c.are different in all languages of the world The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 4

A route map single words X categoriesphrasesphrasal {N o, V o, A o, P o }{NP,VP,AP,PP} configurations {I o, D o etc.}{IP,DP etc.} functions subject complement adjunct Question Which categories are established first? The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 5

A route map (fixed stretches) The non-lexical categories (types of) C o, I o and D o seen as fixed companions of the lexical N o, V o The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 6

A route map (+ a morphological detour) Instead of function words I o /C o and D o there may be function morphemes The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 7

A route map (towards V o ) The realization of I o can be morphological or phrasal. a. function morphemes (paradigma) b. function words (syntagma) The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 8

A route map (towards N o ) The realization of D o can be morphological or phrasal. a. function morphemes (paradigma) b. function words (syntagma) The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 9

The distinction N/V How do children learn the lexical categories: X  N (X is a single word) X  V Chicken and egg problem: You do not hear word structure unless you have a grammar The Lexicon Week I-Wednesday 11 BUT: The child does not have a grammar yet

The distinction N/V A category class is a substitution class Words are of the same category if they can substitute each other in a paradigm with preservation of grammaticality. But: - in which constructions and in how many constructions must the words be able to be substituted? - what means the notion ‘preservation of grammaticality’? One can replacegreen leaves rustle gently with green ideas sleep furiously We knew that the stress pattern is right with nonsense words We know that the syntax is right with nonsense sentences.
