Cel The nature of the relationship between a verb and its grammatical dependents is an ancient questionin linguistics, tracing back to Aristotelian notions of the subject-predicate relation. A major debate in current theoreticallinguistics is how to model this, and the standard view (that the relevant information is stored as part of thegrammatical specification of the verb) has been challenged by the development of a new idea: that both the verband its noun-dependents are embedded inside syntactic hierarchies of fundamentally grammatical elements (socalled“functional categories” encoding notions such as tense, aspect, definiteness and numerosity) and that it is theinteraction between the functional category structures that embed the verb and the noun that is responsible for establishingthe dependency. This viewpoint has allowed a new and empirically successful understanding of the relationshipbetween a verb and its dependents, capturing how definiteness and grammatical number interact with aspectualcategories across different languages. However, this new approach has never been applied to the other majorgrammatical dependency that verbs set up: clausal complementation. That is, the parallel relation between averb and its clausal, as opposed to nominal, dependents. This project investigates, using interdisciplinary methods,whether these new theoretical ideas can be applied to this empirical domain, comparing two languages (Greek andEnglish) whose clausal syntax is quite different. The objective is to both test the theoretical model in a new empiricalarea, leading to new findings about how clausal embedding works syntactically, and to determine how best todevelop and extend the model to domains that it was not designed for. The action requires extended training in experimentalmethods and design (both behavioural and neurolinguistic), statistical analysis, development of systematictheoretical models, as well as interaction with a non-academic partner Dziedzina nauki humanitieslanguages and literaturegeneral language studieshumanitieslanguages and literaturelinguistics Program(-y) H2020-EU.1.3. - EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Main Programme H2020-EU.1.3.2. - Nurturing excellence by means of cross-border and cross-sector mobility Temat(-y) MSCA-IF-2014-EF - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (IF-EF) Zaproszenie do składania wniosków H2020-MSCA-IF-2014 Zobacz inne projekty w ramach tego zaproszenia System finansowania MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF Koordynator QUEEN MARY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Wkład UE netto € 183 454,80 Adres 327 MILE END ROAD E1 4NS London Zjednoczone Królestwo Zobacz na mapie Region London Inner London — East Tower Hamlets Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Uczestnictwo w unijnych programach w zakresie badań i innowacji Opens in new window sieć współpracy HORIZON Opens in new window Koszt całkowity € 183 454,80
