Ultimately, the paper tries to show that Jackendoff's\u0000framework is to be preferred to all others. The paper proceeds as follows. In\u0000Section 2, the common theoretical commitments of Gärdenfors and Jackendoff\u0000are outlined, and it is attempted to argue briefly that they are on the right\u0000track. In Section 3, the basics of the two frameworks to be compared are laid\u0000out, and it is assessed how they deal with some central issues in semantic\u0000theory, namely reference and truth, lexical decomposition, and compositionality.\u0000In Section 4, we get into the nitty-gritty of how Gärdenfors and Jackendoff\u0000actually proceed in semantic analysis, using an example of a noun and a verb\u0000(embedded in a sentence). In Section 5, the merits of Gärdenfors's empiricism\u0000when it comes to word learning and concept acquisition are assessed and\u0000compared to the moderate nativism of Jackendoff, and it is argued that\u0000Jackendoff's nativism is to be preferred. In the sixth section, the semantic\u0000internalism common to both frameworks is commented on.","PeriodicalId":41610,"journal":{"name":"Jezikoslovlje","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42489750","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}

Polazeći od Kleinova određenja\u0000ovih izraza (1994; 2009a), u radu se predlaže klasifikacija hrvatskih\u0000adverbijala položaja u vremenu, kojima je svojstveno smještanje događaja na\u0000vremensku os. U analizi se uzimaju u obzir neki hrvatski adverbijali položaja\u0000koji smještaju događaj u prošlost – tada, u poss vrijeme, u svoje\u0000vrijeme, jednom, nekoć i nekad(a). Razmatraju se\u0000primjeri njihove uporabe u korpusu hrWaC (Ljubešić i Klubička 2014), a u\u0000analizi načina na koji istraživani adverbijali smještaju događaj na vremensku\u0000os primjenjuje se Haspelmathov (1997) pristup vremenskim adverbijalima te se\u0000komentiraju njihova svojstva anaforičnosti i/ili deiktičnosti. U radu se daju\u0000neka zapažanja o vremenskom određenju istraživanih izraza i predlažu\u0000kriteriji na temelju kojih je moguće klasificirati i razlikovati hrvatske\u0000adverbijale položaja u vremenu.","PeriodicalId":41610,"journal":{"name":"Jezikoslovlje","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47138837","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}
