Towards micro-modularity</TitleText> 01 In this chapter, the rules of the game established in Chapter&#160;1 are applied to the modular organization of grammar (and the mind). The result is a modular network of very simple modules. 10 01 JB code cal.23.p2 35 132 98 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part&#160;II. &#8220;Semantics&#8221;</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cal.23.c3 37 81 45 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 3. Argument structure and its ingredients</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">F-chain, argument level, thematic features, and action tier</Subtitle> 01 In this chapter we will discuss the core set of micro-modules that are involved in the semantics of the conceptual category Situation. The modules f-chain, argument level, thematic features, and action tier are tightly related to each other: argument level and thematic features must be linked to the f-chain, and the action tier must be linked to the argument level. This means that the modules are not equal: the f-chain is the core of this part of the micro-modular network. We go through the formation of and mutual relationships between the micro-modules discussed in this chapter. 10 01 JB code cal.23.c4 84 104 21 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;4. Temporal structure of situations</TitleText> 01 The temporal structure deals with the internal time structure of the situation (cf. Vendler 1957) The temporal structure is a set of several tiers, and it is linked to the thematic structure via the thematic features. 10 01 JB code cal.23.c5 106 132 27 Chapter 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;5. Semantic fields and the modal tier</TitleText> 01 The micro-modules semantic fields and the modal tier are introduced in this chapter. These modules are linked to the understanding of situations. Semantic fields deal with the concrete or abstract &#8220;space&#8221; in which the situation is taking place.The modal tier consists of epistemic and deontic modal operators that can have a scope over the situation or its parts. 10 01 JB code cal.23.p3 136 262 127 Chapter 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part&#160;III. &#8220;Syntax&#8221;</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cal.23.c6 136 175 40 Chapter 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;6. The lexicon and argument linking</TitleText> 01 In this chapter, we will discuss the linking between the argument level and the syntactic functions subject and object. The linking is based on three levels: (i) the argument level, (ii) the DA-system that represents the lexically determined &#8220;logical subject&#8221; and &#8220;logical object,&#8221; and (iii) the GF-system including the grammatical functions subject and object. The chapter discusses the relevant parts of the lexical entries of predicates and the principles that govern the linking between the argument level, DA-system, and GF-system. 10 01 JB code cal.23.c7 178 212 35 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;7. Complex sentences</TitleText> 01 This chapter concentrates on argument linking in complex sentences, in which the matrix sentence has a sentential complement or adjunct, either infinite or finite. The discussion focuses on the Finnish language, but English examples are analyzed, too, in order to make the discussion easier to understand for readers who do not have a prior knowledge of Finnish. 10 01 JB code cal.23.c8 214 262 49 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;8. The finite sentence</TitleText> 01 In this chapter, we will discuss syntax and morphology and come up with a multi-tiered model that is compatible with the theoretical goals and assumptions of conceptual semantics as discussed in previous chapters. Word order is treated separately as a tier of its own. Finite sentence morphology is analyzed in a new way, in a separate tier. The chapter discusses the linking between the word order and the finite sentence morphology as well as information structure. The system is tested using a corpus of Finnish proverbs. 10 01 JB code cal.23.p4 266 267 2 Chapter 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part&#160;IV.

Conclusion</TitleText> 01 The micro-modular approach introduced in this book follows the principles given in Chapter&#160;1. The approach is based on a complex network of extremely simple micro-modules. The linguistic analysis based mostly on the Finnish language shows that the approach gives us a new perspective both on the Finnish language and the methodology of grammatical studies. In this chapter, the properties of the approach are discussed both from a technical and a methodological point of view. 10 01 JB code cal.23.abb 269 270 2 Miscellaneous 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Abbreviations</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cal.23.ref 271 275 5 Miscellaneous 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">References</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cal.23.ci 277 1 Miscellaneous 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Construction index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code cal.23.si 279 281 3 Miscellaneous 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20180903 2018 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027201171 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 99.00 EUR R 01 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 8018585 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code CAL 23 Hb 15 9789027201171 13 2018017377 BB 01 CAL 02 1573-594X Constructional Approaches to Language 23 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Conceptual Semantics</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A micro-modular approach</Subtitle> 01 cal.23 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/cal.23 1 A01 Urpo Nikanne Nikanne, Urpo Urpo Nikanne Åbo Akademi University 01 eng 297 xvi 281 LAN009060 v.2006 CFK 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SEMAN Semantics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 06 01 In this book, the micro-modular approach known as Tiernet within Conceptual Semantics is introduced.
