| Tartalmi kivonat: | In this study we present research focusing on the argument structure of non-compositional verbs modified by verbal modifiers, using data obtained from a corpus and an asemantic version of the principle of compositionality. We examine the compositionality of the meanings of complex expressions from a syntactic perspective, focusing on their formal features and formal behavior instead of their semantic properties. Our main question is whether it is possible to predict, solely using syntactic methods, whether the meaning of these expressions is compositional or the verb modified by a verbal modifier has a non-compositional reading. We propose that systematic changes in the argument structure of the verb in the presence of a verbal modifier result in a compositional reading, while non-systematic ones give a non-compositional reading. In this paper, we present a method that makes this information automatically retrievable from the corpus without any need for semantics. |
