This article reviews the work on frames in the last decade by a Düsseldorf research group. The research is based on Barsalou's notion of frames and the hypothesis that the frame is the general format of categorization in human cognition. The Düsseldorf frame group developed formal definitions and interpretations of Barsalou frames and applied the theory in linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. This review focuses on applications of the theory in semantics. The Düsseldorf approach grounds the analysis of composition in deep decomposition of lexical meanings with frames. The basic mechanism of composition is unification, which has deep repercussions on semantic theory and practice: Composition produces structured meanings and is not necessarily deterministic. The interaction of semantic and world knowledge can be modeled in an overall frame model across levels of linguistic analysis. The review concludes with a brief report on the development of hyperframes for dynamic verbs and for cascades, a model for multilevel categorization of action. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Linguistics, Volume 7 is January 14, 2021. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Identifying Light Verb Constructions in Indonesian: A Direct Translation Approach

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.

stehen unter-Funktionsverbgefüge und ihre Familien

Light verb constructions (German ‚Funktionsverbgefüge‘) are complex predicates consisting of a semantically light verb and a phrasal element. A characteristic property of light verb constructions is that they come in families, i. e., groups of identically formed light verb constructions exemplifying different interpretation patterns. On the basis of a corpus study, the paper discusses the existence of three different families of stehen unter ‚stand under‘ light verb constructions. In a detailed study, it is demonstrated that the three families are associated with different characteristics like the semantic type of PP-internal nouns and the choice of a causative light verb.
