C10: A frame-based analysis of adjective-noun combinations
Funding period : 01.07.2015 - 30.06.2019
Project C10 aims at a semantic analysis of the compositional interaction of attributive adjectives with nouns in German and English. The contributions of C10 will be as follows: (i) Based on the analysis of the lexical decomposition of noun and adjective meanings, it will provide an explicit picture of the mechanisms of composition involved. (ii) Linking the research to previous frame analyses of the semantic mechanisms of nominal compounding will contribute a general picture of modification. (iii) Merging the analysis of adjective-noun combinations with the theory of nominal concept types will lead to new questions and insights.
