| Term | Definition |
|---|
| placed a lot of emphasis on morphology within the syntax | Early Generative Grammar |
| -s, -ed, --en (inflectional endings) suffixed to verbs by affix-hopping | Early Generative Grammar Aspects |
| strict division between syntax and morphology | Lexical Hypothesis |
| a suffix attaches to a whole phrase, rather than a stem ((nuclear physic) ist) | nuclear physicist bracketing paradox |
| claim that the phonology first figures out the structure at PF, and that the semantics later raises nuclear by QR, which yields the right meaning | How would a LH explain the bracketing paradox? |
| verb or adjective which expresses a property or relationship | predicate |
| individuals that the predicate possesses | arguments |
| the characterization of the sorts of arguments various predicates can or must take | argument structure |
| verb stem on right, noun stem on left, predictable meanings | synthetic compound |
| relationship not one of argument and predicate, less predictable meanings | root compound |
| To maintain LH, claim argument structure interacts with syntax and morphology separately (to determine the interpretation of subject and object, and then the subparts). | How do predicate-argument relationships connect with the morphology? |
| synthetic compounds are derived in syntax (which involves the syntax interacting with sub-parts of words) | Non LH version of argument structure |
| No, because there seems to be a syntax operating below the word level, at Xo. | According to argument structure, is there a principled distinction between morphology and syntax? |
| compound words that contain entire syntactic phrases | phrasal compounds |
| deny internal structure is phrasal, find a way to generate it in the morphology | LH options for explaining phrasal compounds |
| deny they behave externally as words, just phrases derived in syntax | LH options for explaining phrasal compounds2 |
| deny they are part of active grammar, treat them as special words created by extra-grammatical processes, whose internal structure is opaque to synchronic analysis | LH options for explaining phrasal compounds3 |
