Profil

Zusammenfassung

Elisabeth Verhoeven erforscht die Grammatik von Sprachen aus typologischer Perspektive, mit Schwerpunkt auf Fragen der Satzstruktur, Wortstellung und Informationsstruktur. Sie kombiniert Feldforschung an indigenen Sprachen (besonders Yukatekisches Maya und Chibcha-Sprachen) mit experimentellen Methoden und vergleichenden Analysen, um universelle Muster und sprachspezifische Variation in der Grammatik zu verstehen. Ihre Expertise ist für die Entwicklung von Sprachverarbeitungssystemen und Sprachmodellen relevant, die verschiedene Sprachen und ihre strukturellen Besonderheiten berücksichtigen müssen.

• Experiential constructions in Yucatec Maya : a typologically based analysis of a functional domain in a Mayan language

  2007

  80 Zitationen

  This book combines a fieldwork-based language-specific analysis with a typological investigation. It offers a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the form and semantics of experiencer constructions in Yucatec, the Mayan language of the Yucatecan peninsula in Mexico. Since the linguistic expression of experience is not restricted to a specific grammatical area the study touches a great variety of grammatical fields in the language such as argument structure, grammatical relations, possessive constructions, subordinate constructions, etc. The empirical analysis of the Yucatec data is preceded by a thorough examination of the functional domain and the cross-linguistic coding of experience which until now could not be found in the literature. This study will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of typology and Native American linguistics, and especially to those interested in argument structure and the syntax-semantics interface.

• Agentivity and stativity in experiencer verbs: Implications for a typology of verb classes

  2010

  Linguistic Typology · 53 Zitationen · DOI

  Experiencer-object verbs are known to deviate from the prototype of transitive verbs. Previous studies have shown that a subset of these verbs is stative and non-agentive and argue that this semantic peculiarity accounts for particular non-canonical syntactic properties. This article shows that the stativity/non-agentivity of experiencer verbs is subject to typological variation. The empirical evidence comes from an experimental study on speaker's intuitions, which shows that some experiencer-object verbs in German and Modern Greek differ from canonical transitive verbs in agentivity and stativity, while experiencer-object verbs in Turkish, Yucatec Maya, and Chinese display the semanto-syntactic properties of canonical transitive verbs.
