English prepositional passives in HPSG

Jesse Tseng () 1

Proceedings of Formal Grammar 2006 (2006) 147-159

Résumé : This paper discusses the treatment of English prepositional passives (also known as "pseudopassives") in HPSG. The empirical overview includes a discussion of the familiar (but unformalizable) notion of semantic cohesiveness, as well as new observations about the possibility of intervening elements between V and P. Two formal approaches to the syntactic aspects of the problem are then outlined and compared—one relying on lexical rules, the other taking advantage of HPSG's capacity to express constraints on constructions.
