Understanding S-Selection

Understanding S-Selection

Blog Article

I report a few study notes of semantic selection in this paper.First, if derivational affixes s-select roots, which have no categorial features, s-selection may be implemented Jandy CS Parts independently of c-selection.Second, in certain constructions, it seems that s-selected features do not take part in the syntactic operations that establish syntactic dependencies, and thus the inspection of s-selection seems to be local to the merge domain.

I also examine s-selection between Combs phrases, showing that it follows the same projection principle as seen in the c-selection between phrases.
