ABSTRACT                                                                                                                                                                                                         Current theories of grammar generally assume a constraint on                    lexical selection, i.e. the determination of syntactic properties               of one lexical item by another, which was originally proposed by                Chomsky in 1965 as "local subcategorization" -- that the two                    lexical items must be sister constituents, immediately adjacent                 in underlying syntactic structure.  A number of instances have                  emerged in recent research, however, which suggest that this                    constraint may be too restrictive, that categorial selection can                under some circumstances be non-local.                                                                                                                          The aim of this project is to investigate the limits of non-local               lexical selection, and then to develop a general system of non-                 local selection which correctly characterizes the constraints.                  The investigators will examine an existing data-base for English,               the Brandeis Verb List, which specifies the syntactic forms of                  the complements of roughly 600 verbs and which appears to contain               numerous instances of non-local selection, and they will                        formulate the lexical-conceptual structures and the argument                    structures for these verbs.  They will then construct functions                 that map these semantic structures into the syntactic structures                specified in the Brandeis Verb List.                                                                                                                            After entering the lexical-conceptual structures and argument                   structures for the verbs into a computer, the investigators will                program the functions from semantic categories to syntactic                     categories in an attempt to reconstruct the original database                   from the modified database.                                                                                                                                     The study will bear on the representation of case, prepositions,                and complementizers in lexical entries.
