A qualitative analysis of tokens of the Hebrew verb lehitbayesh ‘to be ashamed’ in political interviews was conducted using Discursive Psychology and Conversation Analysis methods. The findings show that in this public context the verb lehitbayesh is mostly not used to convey an emotional state, nor can its meaning be explained by the classic theoretical conceptualization of shame. Instead, lehitbayesh is mobilized to allocate shame to another actor, and portrays the allocator as morally superior and as someone who sacrifices for what is right. Lehitbayesh is part of the negotiations between journalists and politicians over the question of who is accountable for a transgressive act, what the desired response is, and who the relevant audience for the moral lesson is.

The paper argues that the distribution of suffixed sey is determined by constituent structure, meaning that Bey can only substitute for syntactic constituents. Thus, sey acts as a pro-form, similar, for instance, to pronouns substituting for noun phrases. This has two implications: First, as sey is a quasi-universal pro-form with the ability to substitute for a wide range of constituents, sey-substitution can be used as a constituency test to peek into the constituent structure of virtually any major syntactic domain. Second, the overall sey-substitution pattern across different syntactic domains constitutes evidence for Kayne's binary branching hypothesis.

Based on the observation that in present-day German the position of infinitival complements is restricted by properties of the matrix verb (Haider, 2010, Wurmbrand, 2001), whereas this appears much more liberal in older stages of German (Demske, 2008, Maché and Abraham, 2011, Demske, 2015), this dissertation investigates the emergence of those restrictions and the factors that have led to a reduced, yet still existing variability. The study contrasts infinitival complements of two types of matrix verbs, namely raising and control verbs. In present-day German, these show different syntactic behaviour and opposite preferences as far as the position of the infinitive is concerned: while infinitival complements of raising verbs build a single clausal domain with the with the matrix verb and occur obligatorily intraposed, infinitive complements of control verbs can form clausal constituents and occur predominantly extraposed. This correlation is not attested in older stages of German, at least not until Early New High German. Drawing on diachronic corpus data, the present work provides a description of the changes in the linearisation of infinitival complements from Early New High German to present-day German which aims at finding out when the correlation between infinitive type and word order emerged and further examines their possible causes. The study shows that word order change in German infinitival complements is not a case of syntactic change in the narrow sense, but that the diachronic variation results from the interaction of different language-internal and language-external factors and that it reflects, on the one hand, the influence of language modality on the emerging standard language and, on the other hand, a process of specialisation. N2 - Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Variation in der Linearisierung von deutschen Infinitivkomplementen aus diachroner Perspektive. Ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass im Gegenwartsdeutschen die Stellung von Infinitivkomplementen durch Eigenschaften des Matrixverbs eingeschränkt wird (Haider, 2010, Wurmbrand, 2001), während diese in älteren Sprachstufen des Deutschen viel liberaler erscheint (Demske, 2008, Maché und Abraham, 2011, Demske, 2015), untersucht die vorliegende Dissertation die Entstehung solcher Beschränkungen und die Faktoren, die zu einer reduzierten, jedoch noch bestehenden Variation geführt haben. In der Untersuchung werden die Wortstellungseigenschaften von Infinitivkomplementen gegenübergestellt, die von zwei Typen von Matrixverben eingebettet werden, nämlich Anhebungs- und Kontrollverben. Diese zeigen im Gegenwartsdeutschen ein unterschiedliches syntaktisches Verhalten und entgegengesetzte Präferenzen, was die Stellung des Infinitivs betrifft: Während Infinitivkomplemente von Anhebungsverben einen Verbalkomplex mit dem Matrixverb bilden und obligatorisch intraponiert vorkommen, bilden Infinitivkomplemente von Kontrollverben sententiale Konstituenten und kommen überwiegend extraponiert vor. In älteren Sprachstufen des Deutschen konnte diese Korrelation bis ins Frühneuhochdeutsche nicht festgestellt werden. Neben einer empirisch fundierten Beschreibung des Wortstellungswandels von Infinitivkomplementen, die darauf abzielt, den Zeitpunkt der Entstehung dieser Korrelation zu identifizieren, werden in der Arbeit mögliche Faktoren und Gründe untersucht, die zu diesen Präferenzen geführt haben. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass der Worstellungswandel in deutschen Infinitivkomplementen nicht dem syntaktischen Wandel im engeren Sinne zuzuordnen ist, sondern dass die diachrone Variation auf einem Zusammenspiel von verschiedenen sprachinternen und sprachexternen Faktoren beruht. Es wird dafür argumentiert, dass sich die diachrone Distribution der Wortstellungsmuster zum einen durch den Einfluss von Medialität auf die Entstehung der Standardsprache, zum anderen durch einen Prozess der Spezialisierung erklären lässt.

LVCs are analyzed as a phenomenon of mismatch in the argument structure. The processing implication of this mismatch are experimentally investigated, using ERPs and a dual task. Data from these experiments point to an increase in working memory. Representational questions are investigated using structural priming. Data from this study suggest that while the syntax of LVCs is not different from other structures’, the semantics and mapping are represented differently. This hypothesis is tested with a new categorization paradigm, which reveals that the conceptual structure that LVC evoke differ in interesting, and predictable, ways from non-mismatching structures’.

BT - Examining students‘ strategies in German capitalization tasks JF - Journal of Educational Data Mining N2 - The ability to spell correctly is a fundamental skill for participating in society and engaging in professional work. In the German language, the capitalization of nouns and proper names presents major difficulties for both native and nonnative learners, since the definition of what is a noun varies according to one’s linguistic perspective. In this paper, we hypothesize that learners use different cognitive strategies to identify nouns. To this end, we examine capitalization exercises from more than 30,000 users of an online spelling training platform. The cognitive strategies identified are syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and morphological approaches. The strategies used by learners overlap widely but differ by individual and evolve with grade level. The results show that even though the pragmatic strategy is not taught systematically in schools, it is the most widespread and most successful strategy used by learners. We therefore suggest that highly granular learning process data can not only provide insights into learners’ capabilities and enable the creation of individualized learning content but also inform curriculum development.

In: Journal of Historical Linguistics N2 - According to Haider (2010), we have to distinguish three types of infinitival complements in Present-Day German: (i) CP complements, (ii) VP complements and (iii) verbal clusters. While CP complements give rise to biclausal structures, VP complements and verbal clusters indicate a monoclausal structure. Non-finite verbs in verbal clusters build a syntactic unit with the governing verb. It is only the last infinitival pattern that we address as a so-called coherent infinitival pattern, a notion introduced in the influential work of Bech (1955/57). Verbal clusters are bound to languages with an OV grammar, hence the well-known differences regarding infinitival syntax in German and English (Haider 2003, Bobaljik 2004). On the widespread assumption that German has been an OV language throughout its history (Axel 2007), we expect all three types of infinitival complements to be present from the earliest attestions of German.

It is shown that (a) in the initiation of so-called repair or local problem handling sequences, intonation is used as a type-distinctive device, and (b) in the handling of a global problem handling sequence, intonation is systematically used as a means to constitute and control participant cooperation. In general, intonation is analyzed as one contextualization cue cooccurring with specific syntactic, semantic and discourse organizational devices to signal the status of an utterance in conversational context. It is hypothesized that especially in the global problem handling sequence, different categories of intonation, i.e. different accent and contour types, are systematically used to signal and control participants' interactive problem handling in different, indexically relevant ways simultaneously.

In this paper it is argued that only the linking element -(e)s- evolved from an inflectional suffix, that of the genitive case, but not the syllabic linking elements -e-, -er- and -(e)n- homophonous with plural markers. For these linking elements the explanation is doubtful for a number of reasons. The present paper proposes an alternative explanation for the development of such interfixes, according to which both linking elements and plural markers have been grammaticalized from the same old Indo-European stem suffixes which indicated the declension class of the noun.. Their homophony is due to the fact that they both evolved from the same source. After the decline of the original endings, the indicators of moribund inflectional classes became afunctional 'junc' and were then reanalysed either as plural markers or as linking elements. This development of linking elements can thus be shown as a case of exaptation or regrammaticalization.

In contrast to the broad body of experimental and neuroscientific research on semantic information and prosodic speech, the emotional impact of grammatical structure has rarely been investigated. One reason for this might be, that measuring effects of syntactic structure involves the use of complex stimuli, for which the emotional impact of grammar is difficult to isolate. In the present experiment we examined the emotional impact of structural parallelisms, that is, repetitions of syntactic features, on the emotion-sensitive "late positive potential" (LPP) with a cross-modal priming paradigm. Primes were auditory presented nonsense sentences which included grammatical-syntactic parallelisms. Visual targets were positive, neutral, and negative faces, to be classified as emotional or non-emotional by the participants. Electrophysiology revealed diminished LPP amplitudes for positive faces following parallel primes. Thus, our findings suggest that grammatical structure creates an emotional context that facilitates processing of positive emotional information.

The molecular mechanism of the anti-apoptotic action induced by S1P is less characterized. Apart from S1P, endogenously produced nitric oxide (NOaEuro cent) has been recognized as a potent modulator of apoptosis in keratinocytes. Therefore, it was of great interest to elucidate whether S1P protects human keratinocytes via a NOaEuro cent-dependent signalling pathway. Indeed, S1P induced an activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in human keratinocytes leading to an enhanced formation of NOaEuro cent. Most interestingly, the cell protective effect of S1P was almost completely abolished in the presence of the eNOS inhibitor L-NAME as well as in eNOS-deficient keratinocytes indicating that the sphingolipid metabolite S1P protects human keratinocytes from apoptosis via eNOS activation and subsequent production of protective amounts of NOaEuro cent. It is well established that most of the known actions of S1P are mediated by a family of five specific G protein-coupled receptors. Therefore, the involvement of S1P-receptor subtypes in S1P-mediated eNOS activation has been examined. Indeed, this study clearly shows that the S1P(3) is the exclusive receptor subtype in human keratinocytes which mediates eNOS activation and NOaEuro cent formation in response to S1P. In congruence, when the S1P(3) receptor subtype is abrogated, S1P almost completely lost its ability to protect human keratinocytes from apoptosis.

Against this background, I sketch a possible pragmaticalization path from referential usages of so via hedging to a semantically bleached focus marker, which, unlike particles such as auch ‘also’/‘too’ or nur ‘only’, does not contribute any additional meaning.

The discussion is within the context of the TIGER treebank, the associated search engine and query language, but the general ideas can apply to any search engine for XML-encoded treebanks. It will be shown that important classes of linguistic phenomena can be accessed by applying relatively simple XSLT templates to the output of a query, effectively simulating the universal quantifier for a subset of the query language. uni-potsdam.de/cgi-bin/publika/view.pl?id=206"> Y1 - 2005 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-8678 SN - 1866-4725 SN - 1614-4708 IS - 2 SP - 117 EP - 128 ER - TY - GEN A1 - Selting, Margret T1 - Question intonation revisited : the intonation of conversational questions N2 - Content: 1.

These components are used and combined by interlocutors to distinguish between different activity types which (4) sequentially implicate different types of answers by the recipient in the next turn. Prosody is only one cooccurring cue, but in some cases it is the only distinctive one. It is shown that prosody, and in particular intonation, cannot be determined or even systematically related to syntactic sentence structure type or other sentence-grammatical principles, as most former and current theories of intonation postulate. Instead, prosody is an independent, autonomous signalling system, which is used as a contextualization device for the constitution of interactively relevant activity types in conversation.

Because the spelling of some word forms can differ between texts, a language model trained on already annotated treebanks may fail to recognize known word forms due to differences in spelling. In the present work, we explore the feasibility of an unsupervised method for spelling-adjustment for the purpose of improved part of speech (POS) tagging. To this end, we present a method for spelling normalization based on weighted edit distances, which exploits within-text spelling variation. We then evaluate the improvement in taging accuracy resulting from between-texts spelling normalization in two tagging experiments on several Early New High German (ENHG) texts.

In our data, this style of speaking is not deployed throughout the speakers' conversations, butonly in particular turns and turn-constructional units (TCUs). The utterances most typical of this style exhibit specific combinations of syntactic and prosodic features that are unusual for colloquial and/or regionalized varieties of German. Among the structures recurrently found are specific kinds of pre- and post-positioned constituents before and after their 'host' sentences, the separation of turn-constructional units into very short prosodic units, the deployment of both lexical stress as well as utterance accentuation as a resource for stylistic variation, and the constitution of particular rhythmic patterns. In our paper, we will discuss some of these structures and show how they arc used its a resource to achieve particular tasks in conversational interaction.

The project investigates the language abilities of multilingual children and adolescents, in particular, those who have Turkish and/or Kurdish as a mother tongue. A further aim of the project is to examine from a psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspective the extent to which competence in academic registers is achieved on the basis of the languages spoken by the children, including the language(s) spoken at the home, the language of the country of residence and the first foreign language. To be able to examine these questions using corpus linguistic parameters, we created categories of analysis in MULTILIT. The data collection comprises texts from bilingual and monolingual children and adolescents in Germany in their first language Turkish, their second language German und their foreign language English. Pupils aged between nine and twenty years of age produced monologue oral and written texts in the two genres of narrative and discursive. On the basis of these samples, we examine linguistic features such as lexical expression (lexical density, lexical diversity), syntactic complexity (syntactic and discursive packaging) as well as phonology in the oral texts and orthography in the written texts, with the aim of investigating the pupils’ growing mastery of these features in academic and informal registers. To this end the raw data have been transcribed by the use of transcription conventions developed especially for the needs of the MULTILIT data. They are based on the commonly used HIAT and GAT transcription conventions and supplemented with conventions that provide additional information such as features at the graphic level. The categories of analysis comprise a large number of linguistic categories such as word classes, syntax, noun phrase complexity, complex verbal morphology, direct speech and text structures. We also annotate errors and norm deviations at a wide range of levels (orthographic, morphological, lexical, syntactic and textual). In view of the different language systems, these criteria are considered separately for all languages investigated in the project. N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Übersicht der linguistischen Analysen dar, die im Rahmen des MULTILIT Projektes entwickelt wurden. Darüber hinaus wird die Aufbereitung der erhobenen mündlichen und schriftlichen Texte vorgestellt. Das Projekt betrachtet die sprachlichen Fähigkeiten multilingualer Kinder und Jugendlicher, insbesondere mit der Muttersprache Türkisch und/oder Kurdisch. Ein weiteres Ziel des Projektes ist die Untersuchung der Entwicklung eines akademischen Registers der Sprachen der Kinder, d.h. der zu Hause gesprochenen Sprache(n), der Sprache des Aufenthaltslandes und der ersten Fremdsprache unter psycholinguistischen und soziolinguistischen Gesichtspunkten. Zur Untersuchung dieser Forschungsfragen unter korpuslinguistischen Parametern wurden in MULTILIT Analysekriterien entwickelt. Die Datenerhebung umfasst Texte bilingualer und monolingualer Kinder und Jugendlicher in ihrer Erstsprache Türkisch, ihrer Zweitsprache Deutsch sowie ihrer ersten Fremdsprache Englisch. Schüler im Alter von 9 bis 20 Jahren haben sowohl mündliche als auch schriftliche monologische Texte in zwei Genres produziert – erzählend und erörternd. Basierend auf diese Daten untersuchen wir linguistische Bereiche wie lexikalischer Ausdruck (lexikalische Dichte, lexikalische Vielfalt), syntaktische Komplexität (syntaktische und diskursive Verdichtung) sowie Phonologie in den mündlichen Texten und Orthographie in den schriftlichen Texten mit dem Ziel, die wachsende Beherrschung dieser Bereiche in akademischen und informellen Registern durch die Schüler zu untersuchen. Dafür wurden die Rohdaten mit Transkriptionskonventionen verarbeitet, die speziell auf die Bedürfnisse des MULTILIT Projektes zugeschnitten sind. Sie basieren auf den weit verbreiteten Transkriptionskonventionen HIAT und GAT und wurden durch Konventionen erweitert, die zusätzliche Informationen, beispielsweise auf graphischer Ebene, festhalten. Die Analysekategorien umfassen zahlreiche linguistische Kategorien, wie Wortarten, Syntax, Nominalphrasenkomplexität, komplexe Verbalmorphologie, direkte Rede und Textstrukturen. Außerdem annotieren wir Fehler und Normabweichungen auf allen zahlreichen Ebenen (orthographisch, morphologisch, lexikalisch, syntaktisch und textuell). Aufgrund der verschiedenen Sprachsysteme werden diese Analysekategorien für alle im Projekt untersuchten Sprachen gesondert betrachtet.

During the course of conversational storytelling, it is structurally necessary that recipients warrant the tellers speakership. At the same time, a particular affective display-not only in response to what has been said but also to what comes at the climax-appears to become relevant. Immediately prior to the climax, when the teller employs elaborate multimodal cues, the recipient's display of an "anticipatory affect" is made relevant. A particular type of affect signals the anticipation of what kind of climax is approaching. The present paper explores how story recipients accomplish this two-fold task, namely to display alignment with the speaker's role allocation and listenership on the one hand and affiliation on the other. The study argues that a minimal uptake is called for, requiring only a minimal slot in the flow of storytelling and facial expressions that are most likely to fit this slot.

At the same time, schools accommodate pupils with different home languages who might or might not be fluent in the national language and who start from other linguistic backgrounds in their acquisition of literacy. While it is safe to say that schools with a monolingual policy are not prepared to deal with the factual multilingualism in their classrooms in a systematic way, bilingual pupils have to deal with it nonetheless. The interdisciplinary and comparative research project “Literacy Acquisition in Schools in the Context of Migration and Multilingualism” (LAS) investigated the practical processes of literacy acquisition in two countries, Germany and Turkey, where the monolingual orientation of schools is as much a reality as are the multilingual backgrounds of many of their pupils. The basic assumption was that pupils cope with the ways they are engaged by the school – both socially and academically – based on their cultural and linguistic repertoires acquired biographically, providing them with more or less productive options regarding the acquisition of literary skills. By comparing the literary development of bilingual children with that of their monolingual classmates throughout one school year in the first and the seventh grade in Germany and Turkey, respectively, we found out that the restricting potential of multilingualism is located rather on the part of the schools than on the part of the pupils. While the individual bilingual pupil almost naturally uses his/her home language as a resource for literacy acquisition in the school language, schools still tend to regard the multilingual backgrounds of their pupils as irrelevant or even as an impediment to adequate schooling. We argue that by ignoring or even suppressing the specific linguistic potentials of bilingualism, bilingual pupils are put at a structural disadvantage. This research report is the slightly revised but full version of the final study project report from 2011 that was until now not available as a quotable publication. While several years have passed since the primary research was finalized, the addressed issues have lost none of their relevance. The report is accompanied by numerous publications in the frame of the LAS project, as well as by a web page (https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/daf/projekte/las), which also contains the presentations from the final LAS-Conference, including valuable discussions of the report from renowed experts in the field. N2 - Der Erwerb von Schriftsprache ist eines der Hauptziele der schulischen Bildung und erfolgt in der Regel in der dominanten Sprache des jeweiligen Landes. Gleichzeitig haben viele Schülerinnen und Schüler eine andere Familiensprache als die Landessprache. Den Erwerb der Schriftsprache in der Landessprache gehen sie von einem anderen sprachlichen Hintergrund aus an als monolinguale Schülerinnen und Schüler. Die Schule ist mit ihrer monolingualen Politik weitestgehend nicht bereit, sich mit der faktischen Mehrsprachigkeit in ihren Klassenräumen systematisch umzugehen, die zweisprachigen Schülerinnen und Schüler selbst aber müssen sich damit auseinandersetzen. Das interdisziplinäre und vergleichende Forschungsprojekt "Literacy Acquisition in Schools in the Context of Migration and Multilingualism" (LAS) untersuchte die praktischen Prozesse des Schriftspracherwerbs in zwei Ländern, Deutschland und der Türkei, in denen die einsprachige Ausrichtung von Schulen ebenso Realität ist wie der mehrsprachige Hintergrund vieler ihrer Schülerinnen und Schüler. Die Grundannahme war, dass die Schülerinnen und Schüler auf der Grundlage ihres biographisch erworbenen kulturellen und sprachlichen Repertoires einen spezifischen Weg finden, mit den sprachlichen und sozialen Herausforderungen und Erwartungen der Schule zurecht zu kommen und mehr oder weniger produktive und kreative Wege des Schriftspracherwerbs entwickeln. Der in dem Projekt vorgenommene Vergleich des Schriftspracherwerbs zweisprachiger Kinder mit der ihren einsprachigen Klassenkameraden während eines Schuljahres in der ersten bzw. siebten Klasse in Deutschland und der Türkei zeigt, dass die Mehrsprachigkeit der Schülerinnen und Schüler eher ein Problem der Schule ist als eins der Schülerinnen und Schüler. Während der/die einzelne zweisprachige Schüler/in fast selbstverständlich seine/ihre Familiensprache als Ressource für den Schriftspracherwerb in der dominanten Schulsprache nutzt, neigen die Schulen immer noch dazu, den mehrsprachigen Hintergrund ihrer Schüler als irrelevant oder sogar als Hindernis für eine adäquate Schulbildung zu betrachten. Wir argumentieren, dass zweisprachige Schüler strukturell benachteiligt werden, wenn die Schule die spezifischen sprachlichen Potenziale der Zweisprachigkeit ignoriert oder sogar unterdrückt. Dieser Forschungsbericht ist die leicht revidierte, aber vollständige Version des Abschlussberichts der Studiengruppe aus dem Jahr 2011, der bisher nicht als zitierfähige Publikation verfügbar war. Obwohl seit dem Abschluss unserer Forschung mehrere Jahre vergangen sind, haben die behandelten Themen nichts von ihrer Relevanz verloren. Der Bericht wird begleitet von zahlreichen Publikationen im Rahmen des LAS-Projekts sowie von einer Webseite (https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/daf/projekte/las), die auch die Präsentationen der abschliessenden LAS-Konferenz enthält, einschliesslich wertvoller Diskussionen des Berichts von namhaften Experten auf dem Gebiet der schulischen Bildung.

I show that, apart from the preference for three-part lists described by Jefferson (1990), lists are embedded in a larger three-component structure that the list is the middle part of. For lists proper, I suggest to differentiate between closed and open lists that are produced with different kinds of practices. It is the prosody that is used to suggest the list as made up of a closed or an open number of list items, irrespective of its syntactic embedding. I then concentrate on open lists, in particular their intonation. Open lists may be produced with different kinds of, albeit similar, intonation contours. But it is not so much the particular intonation contour that is constitutive of lists, but a variety of similar contours plus the repetition of the chosen contour for at least some or even all of the list items. Furthermore, intonation is deployed to suggest the interpretation of a potential final list item as either a designed list completer or as another designed item of the list. The design of this final list item as a completer or as another list item is used as a practice to signal the non-completion or completion of the list proper. But even after completing the list proper, the larger three-component structure also has to be closed in order to embed and accommodate the list into the surrounding sequential interaction. For the analysis of the practices of list construction I am concentrating on the role of prosody, especially intonation, giving evidence to show that intonation is indeed one of the methodically used constitutive cues that makes the production and structuring of lists recognizable for recipients.

Style-shifting is shown to affect several distinct linguistic levels: phonetic, morphophonemic, syntactic, and lexical. The functions of style-shifting are related both to the discourse context and the broader institutional context. Relying on listeners' co-occurrence expectations with respect to language use in contexts and exploiting listeners' evaluations of processes of speech convergence and divergence, the moderator uses stereotypic markers at different style levels in locally strategic functions in discourse. On the one hand, thematic development is controlled by reinforcing obligations on the addressee. On the other hand, global social reciprocity patterns are constituted and secured. Patterns of reciprocity vary with different types of addressees. The conversational analysis of language variation shows that variation is not only a quantitative correlate of regional, social and contextual parameters as predominantly conceived of in sociolinguistics. Language variation is furthermore used as a means to signal social and interactive meaning in conversations.

These results brought to light significant differences, due to age, in the interpretation and acceptance of these resultatives, that is to say, sentences with an adjective in the final position. The youngest participants were prone to accept ungrammatical sentences by assigning a resultative meaning. The ungrammaticality of the sentences in question was not due to semantic inconsistencies but to violations of the selectional properties of verbs, as for instance in *die Kinder erschrecken die Katze ängstlich ‘the children frighten the cat scared’. In contrast, the adults rejected or amended those sentences. The conclusion is (a) that the children seemed to rely on the sentence structure as a primary cue to compute the meaning of an utterance and (b) that, in contrast with adults, the youngest children in particular had not yet learned the relevant semantic properties of verbs that determine the selectional restrictions and thus the syntactic options of verbs. This means that differences in interpretation and acceptance of sentences are due to differences in knowledge of semantic verb properties between adults and children. The relevant semantic knowledge increases in gradual stages during language acquisition.
