... with subcategorization. Pattern extraction refers to the representation in the lexicon of the relationships among the consonants involved in initial consonant mutation. Subcategorization specifies the context in which a particular mutation occurs and the patterns stored in the lexicon provide the correct consonant...

...This chapter presents a concrete, crucially holistic, model for understanding the distributional properties of infixes. There are three main components to this model. Section 3.1 offers a formal theory of phonological subcategorization and, by extension, morphological subcategorization that can...

... vocabulary. Foremost among these objects are the syntactic categories: NP, V, S, and so on. The inventory of categories has changed over the years and differs from model to model. Likewise, their distribution has been constrained by proposals such as X-bar theory, feature subcategorization schemes...

.... Subsequently, the syntactic properties of participial verb phrases are analysed, with focus on the coherence and continuity of participle VPs, and the subcategorization properties of participles. Particular attention is given to subcategorization, since this is traditionally taken to be a prototypically verbal...

...-specific. Vocabulary items belong to complex, structured semantic categories. Universally, verbs fit into one or more “subcategorization frames”, which specify the number and type of obligatory dependents of the verb. The human lexicon displays at least three further unique characteristics. First...

...This chapter introduces the topics of verb phrase adjunction and verbal subcategorization and relates these to the relevant linguistics literature. It discusses in particular previous attempts to define a notion of subcategorization which allows for a category intermediate between arguments...

... (1994) rendition of raising as structure sharing, the subcategorization information of the subject-raising verb consists of an NP subject and a VP complement. The subject required by that VP is not provided by means of some inaudible element (‘PRO’); rather the raising verb lexically states the token...

...This chapter explores some of the ramifications of the phonological subcategorization approach to infixation. It examines the possibility of the so-called ‘genuine’ infixation. It then takes a brief foray into the realm of infixal ludlings and endoclisis. Finally, it explores further...

Section 2.2 demonstrates that grammatical functions are best treated as primitive concepts, as they are in LFG, rather than defined in terms of morphological or phrase structure concepts. Section 2.3 shows that syntactic subcategorization...

... thus leads to a prosodically better-formed output. The analysis is exemplified in the tableau in (32): (32) The second main approach to infixation identified by Yu ( 2007 ) is the prosodic subcategorization approach. If we turn back to the Samoa data in (5), above, we see that the reduplicative...

It lays out the basic properties of the two main approaches to infixation: Phonological Readjustment and Phonological Subcategorization. It shows that the Phonological Readjustment...
