Using the largest sample of corpus examples to date, normative dictionaries, and native speakers’ forum discussions on the subject, I will defend an analysis of constructions involving voller as prepositional constructions without an unambiguous case assignment. Overt case in specific environments is determined not by the head but by the argument’s morphosyntax, including the properties of number, gender, morphological class and the presence of attributive adjectives. Inconvenient forms will be shown to be systematically avoided and replaced by alternative constructions. I describe a unification based, constructional approach with underspecified case assignment to capture the data using the formalism of Sign-Based Construction Grammar (SBCG).","PeriodicalId":408755,"journal":{"name":"Constructional Approaches to Syntactic Structures in German","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114244650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Boas, Alexander Ziem","doi":"10.1515/9783110457155-001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110457155-001","url":null,"abstract":"Over the last decade or so, Construction Grammar (CxG) has evolved into an influential paradigm in linguistic research. CxG subsumes a family of related constructional approaches to language including Cognitive Construction Grammar (Lakoff 1987, Goldberg 1995, Boas 2013), Berkeley Construction Grammar (Fillmore et al. 1988, Kay and Fillmore 1999, Fillmore 2013), Sign-based Construction Grammar (SBCG; Sag 2011, Boas and Sag 2012, Michaelis 2013), Radical Construction Grammar (Croft 2001, 2013), and Cognitive Grammar (Langacker 1987, 2008; Broccias 2013), among others (for an overview see Hoffmann/Trousdale 2013, Ziem and Lasch 2013, and Lasch and Ziem 2014). Although such approaches differ not only in methodological terms but also with respect to the types of linguistic phenomena addressed, they all embrace the view that both lexicon and grammar essentially consist of constructions, i.e. non-compositional (and compositional) formmeaning pairings of varying abstractness and syntagmatic complexity. Building on this basic assumption, this volume investigates a variety of grammatical phenomena in German from a constructional point of view, including argument structure constructions, prepositional constructions, comparative correlatives, and relative clause constructions. Each contribution is anchored in a constructional approach to language, and the constructional nature of each phenomenon addressed is demonstrated in detail. Why German? Since its beginnings in the 1980s, constructional research has primarily focused on English, although languages such as Czech, Finnish, French, and Japanese have also received considerable attention. Since the 2000s, there has also been a significant amount of constructional research on German, including Järventausta (2006), Imo (2007), Nikula (2007), Chang (2008), Cloene and Willems (2006a, b), Deppermann (2007), Rostila (2008), Felfe (2012), Zeldes (2012), Hein (2015), and Lasch (2017); as well as a number of edited volumes such as Fischer and Stefanowitsch (2006), Stefanowitsch and Fischer (2008), Günthner and Bücker (2009), Engelberg et al.

Cuypere, Jonah Rys","doi":"10.1515/9783110457155-003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110457155-003","url":null,"abstract":"In present-day German, nine “two-way prepositions” can take either the accusative (ACC) or dative (DAT), viz. an, auf, hinter, in, neben, uber, unter, vor and zwischen. In traditional explanations, ACC is associated with ‘motion’/‘directionality’ and DAT with ‘location’/‘state’. A similar conceptual contrast can be found in many modern accounts, which oppose ‘focus on the path’ and ‘endpoint focus’. While such a contrast may be satisfactory with respect to verbs such as gehen ‘go’, laufen ‘run’, wandern ‘wander’ etc., the ACC/DAT alternation with more complex verbal constructions cannot be accounted for in this way. This article provides an alternative explanation, which is corpus-based and couched in a constructional framework. The case study focuses on two prepositional verbs: aufsetzen auf ‘set down on, land on, base on’ and aufnehmen in ‘allow (as a member), incorporate, shelter, assimilate mentally’. These prepositional verbs were selected because they figure prominently in the literature on case alternation with two-way prepositions and exhibit interesting formal and semantic differences, which are potentially relevant from a constructional point of view: aufsetzen auf occurs in transitive and intransitive sentences, aufnehmen in only in transitive sentences, and they both have a range of different senses. The data is drawn from the Mannheim German Reference Corpus (DeReKo). The sentences (aufsetzen auf: N = 644; aufnehmen in: N = 454) are annotated for a set of morpho¬syntactic and lexical-semantic factors, viz. transitivity, voice, perfect tense and conventionalized senses. Classification trees are used to gauge the effects of the factors on the case alternation. The quantitative findings are interpreted according to a “three-level” approach to meaning based on the distinction between i) the general systemic meaning of a prepositional verb as part of the lexicon, ii) its conventionalized or default senses which pertain to “normal language use” and iii) its unique, referential readings in particular contextualized occurrences. The analysis shows that a constructional account makes it possible to determine the extent of the effects of the various factors on the case alternation in a quantitatively satisfactory and qualitatively innovative way. At the same time, the analysis leaves room to incorporate assumptions about the meaning of ACC and DAT proposed in previous accounts, in particular Paul (1920).","PeriodicalId":408755,"journal":{"name":"Constructional Approaches to Syntactic Structures in German","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126480056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
