Selected Proceedings of the 2005 Symposium on New Approaches in English Historical Lexis (HEL-LEX) edited by R. W. McConchie, Olga Timofeeva, Heli Tissari, and Tanja Säily ISBN 1-57473-412-1 library binding vi + 184 pages publication date: 2006 published by Cascadilla Proceedings Project, Somerville, MA, USA Table of contents Abstract Alejandro Alcaraz Sintes Proposal for a Dictionary of Syntactic and Semantic Complementation of Old English Adjectives 34-40 (complete pdf) This paper is a proposal for a corpus-based dictionary of Old English adjective complementation. It will describe the syntactic and semantic structures of clauses whose predicate is a complemented adjective and of NPs with a complemented adjectival noun modifier. Both personal and impersonal constructions will be included. It will establish associations between entries on the basis of semantic opposition and similarity, and semantic class membership. A notation system is proposed to describe the different layers of information of an entry. The paper describes the different elements composing an entry and includes, by way of examples, the entries for five adjectives. |
