The grammar of object experiencer psych verbs: theoretical, computational and experimental analyses of reflexive binding in German

反身代词在客体体验者心理动词（OE心理动词）刺激论证中的实现已经成为一个有争议的话题，因为可能的绑定，即体验者论证，似乎是一个客体与主语的绑定。这种结构的语法性在许多语言中都得到了证实，但它在德语中的地位仍不清楚。因此，德语可以作为反身结合比较理论的试金石。然而，应该指出的是，很少有关于德语模式可能的语法性或不语法性的理论含义的建议，这些建议受到经验基础不足的影响。因此，本文的两个主要目标是为德语心理动词的构建提供一个坚实的数据基础，并利用该数据基础建立一个考虑到德语英语心理动词刺激中绑定（非）语法性的自反绑定模型。有必要把迄今为止只是单独研究的各个方面的分析结合起来。对德语反身化的分析不包括语序规律，反之亦然。包含动词的语义和可选的子分类模式也是如此。因此，该项目将把这些孤立的理论结合起来。这些动词将接受基于语料库的分析，特别关注它们的语义和它们可能的子分类框架。更有问题的是“图片名词”的概念。它被认为是构造的触发因素，但从未得到一个适当的定义。结合计算语言学和语料库语言学的方法，我们的目标是提供相关名词的正式表征，同时考虑到动词的竞争结构和选择限制。这些分析不仅为英语心理动词和“图画名词”这两种结构的主要成分提供了坚实的基础，而且为英语心理动词结构的论点顺序、对刺激的反身性以及最后对英语心理动词结构的活力可能的选择限制等三个实验研究奠定了基础。实验研究是这里的选择方法，因为我们必须处理至少包含三个问题的结构，因此极不可能在显示所有必要条件的语料库中发生。实验研究的结果将有助于定义一个基于经验的德语OE心理动词刺激下的反身化理论模型。语言学不仅可以确定德语结构的语法状况，还可以确定其对反身结合比较理论的影响。

The realization of reflexive pronouns within stimulus arguments of object experiencer psych verbs (OE psych verbs) has become the topic of a controversial debate, since the possible binder, the experiencer argument, appears to be an object binding into the subject. The grammaticality of the construction is attested for many languages, but its status in German has remained unclear. German can thus be employed as a touchstone for comparative theories of reflexive binding. It should be noted, however, that there are very few proposals concerning the theoretical implications of a possible grammaticality or ungrammaticality of the pattern in German, and these suffer from an insufficient empirical basis. The two main goals of the present proposals are thus to provide a solid data base for the construction in German and to use the data base to develop a model of reflexive binding that takes the (un-)grammaticality of binding into the stimulus of OE psych verbs in German into account. It is necessary to combine analyses of various aspects that have hitherto been studied in isolation only. Analyses of reflexivization in German do not cover word order regularities, and vice versa. The same holds for the inclusion of the verb’s semantics, and alternative subcategorization patterns. The project will thus combine these isolated theoretical strands. The verbs will receive a corpus-based analysis, which focuses in particular on their semantics and their possibly subcategorization frames. Even more problematic is the concept of a 'picture noun'. It has been assumed to be a trigger for the construction but has never received a proper definition. Combining methods from computational linguistics and corpus linguistics, we aim to provide a formal characterization of the pertinent nouns, which also takes competing constructions and selectional restrictions imposed by the verbs into account. These analyses do not only provide a solid basis for the two major ingredients of the construction, the OE psych verbs and the 'picture nouns', they also form the prerequisites for three experimental studies that concern the order of arguments, the reflexivization into the stimulus, and finally possible selectional restrictions on animacy in OE psych verb constructions. Experimental studies are the methods of choice here since we have to deal with constructions including at least three problems that are thus extremely unlikely to occur in corpora showing all required conditions. The results of the experimental studies will then serve to define an empirically based theoretical model of reflexivization within the stimulus of OE psych verbs in German. Linguistics would then not only be able to determine the grammaticality status of the construction in German, but also its implications for a comparative theory of reflexive binding.
