Key Points

  • Lexicalism challenges traditional phrasal handling of argument structure constructions, indicating innovative perspectives.
  • Key proposals from Tree Adjoining Grammar and HPSG highlight the flexibility of lexical approaches to argument structures.
  • Comparative analysis between Distributional Morphology and LFG methods underscores valid alternatives to HPSG rules.
  • This exploration into argument structures may advance understanding of grammar dynamics in linguistics.

Abstract

This paper deals with lexicalism and recent proposals that suggest that argument structure constructions can be or should be handled on a phrasal level. I first provide some general background, then discuss a particular proposal made in Tree Adjoining Grammar and provide a lexical alternative within the framework of HPSG. The paper ends with a comparison of Distributional Morphology and recent DM-based LFG approaches and lexical rule-based HPSG proposals.
