“…Furthermore, LVCs have been investigated in previous studies using a variety of theoretical frameworks, regardless of language. LVCs have been studied using morphology at the first level (Aldridge, 2019;Fleischhauer & Neisani, 2020;Kovalevskaitė et al, 2020;Stroik, 2001;Sundquist, 2020;Vaidya et al, 2019). The main contribution of this field of study was an explicit method for identifying markedness in LVCs.…”

Morphosemantic Features of Membuat ‘Make’ in the Light Verb Constructions of Indonesian

Light verb constructions (LVCs) are combinations of a verb and a noun that operate as a referee for a distinctive idiomatic-like meaning in which the noun is the central focus of meaning deduction. This study aimed to identify and describe Indonesian LVCs as morphosemantic phenomena. The dataset comprises Indonesian sentences containing featured LVCs. Three corpora were utilized as data sources: Leipzig Corpora Collection – Indonesian (LCCI), SEAlang Library Indonesian Text Corpus (SEAlang), and Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI). In this study, a framework from Morphosemantics has been employed to provide the deep analysis technique. The results revealed the following two folds. First, at the morphological level, the Indonesian verb membuat 'make' is a clear indicator of the existence of LVCs. Second, on a semantic level, the verb membuat ‘make’ in Indonesian LVCs tends to produce ACTION type verbs, AGENT paired argument of verbs and RESULTATIVE grammatical meaning. This study suggested that further research be done on the morphosyntactic features of the Indonesian LVCs verb membuat 'make.'

This study aimed to identify light verb constructions (LVCs) in Indonesian based on machine translation methods, namely binary translation or direct translation. Based on the method, the LVCs of the source language (SL) were selected and utilized to construct the LVCs counterpart of the target language (TL). The SL instrument has been developed using previous studies on English and Hungarian, namely the LVCs matrix formulated by Vincze (2011). The TL data were in the equivalent forms of LVCs in Indonesian. Data analysis was carried out based on morphosemantics and morphosyntax. Based on the study, the result was stated as follows, i.e. (i) there were translation work procedures that needed to be carried out to process LVCs from SL to TL regarding the type of translator, limited text selection, and final counterpart assignation; (ii) there were changes in the morphosemantic features of LVCs from SL to TL during the translation process; and (iii) there were grammatical exceptions that cannot be resolved through binary translation methods. This study also suggested a further analysis of LVCs identification through another method, for instance, information retrieval (IR) and information extraction (IE), in the light of computational linguistics.

Argument alternations in complex predicates: an LFG+glue perspective

Vaidya et al. (2019) discuss argument alternations in Hindi complex predicates, and propose an analysis within an LTAG framework, comparing this with an LFG analysis of complex predicates. In this paper I clarify the inadequacies in existing LFG analyses of complex predicates, and show how the LFG+glue approach proposed by Lowe (2015) can both address these inadequacies and provide a relatively simple treatment of the phenomena discussed by Vaidya et al. (2019).
