Optimal matches between clause-embedding predicates and their clausal complements

小句补语有两个重要的特征：（1）补语结构的谓词性实例化;（2）小句嵌入谓词（=CEP）及其解释与补语小句（=CC）中的材料的相互作用。性质（i）涉及结构的实例化，例如提升、控制、NG提升、重组和桥现象;只有特定的CEP子集与上述每个结构一起出现。性质（ii）已经阿利亚显示用于情绪标记的许可（例如，罗曼语中的虚拟语气），“和声情态动词”，依赖动词形态（不定式，分词等），在某些CEP的补语从句中使用了借喻标记和咒骂否定。这两个属性都指向一个将在项目中处于中心地位的方面：CEP和它的补充子句之间明显的匹配要求。有助于改善这种匹配的成分在这里被视为优化的实例：（a）在补语从句中添加材料（例如，言语语气，情态动词），其仅对于某些CEP（自上而下效应）是需要的，以及（B）CEP的修改（例如，强制）由CC中的元素触发（自下而上效应）。该项目的另一个重要方面是CEP的潜在多义/多义性及其对各自小句互补属性的意义（例如，西班牙语sentir：“sense”与指示，“be sorry”与虚拟）。该项目的目标是通过查看多义/模糊CEP来了解更多关于CEP和CC匹配的优化方向。该项目还将关注循环/非循环传播的控制，提高，重组和桥梁现象的递归结构的CEP叠加。该项目批判性地解决循环优化的语法和语义的相互作用的意义。通过将特定的CC类型理解为独立的循环域，循环局部性的潜在问题出现了：这些域的良构性取决于CEP的解释和其他属性（以及更高/扩展域中的潜在其他元素）。优化，即，在CEP和CC被组合/合并之前，不能进行合适的CC候选或CEP读数的选择。这个项目将尝试性地探索这个问题是否可以通过优化理论语法中的语义表示的循环调整来解决。

Clausal complementation is characterized by two important properties: (i) the predicate-specific instantiation of complementation structures and (ii) the interaction of the clause-embedding predicate (=CEP) and its interpretation with material in the complement clause (=CC). Property (i) concerns the instantiation of structures such as raising, control, NEG-raising, restructuring, and bridge phenomena; only specific subsets of CEPs occur with each of the aforementioned structures. Property (ii) has been shown inter alia for the licensing of mood markers (e.g., the subjunctive in Romance languages), “harmonic modals”, dependent verb morphology (infinitives, participles etc.), logophoric markers, and expletive negation in complement clauses of certain CEPs. Both properties point to an aspect that will be central in the project: the obvious matching requirement between the CEP and its complement clause. The ingredients that help to improve that match are taken here as instances of optimization: (a) addition of material in the complement clause (e.g., verbal mood, modals) that is needed only with certain CEPs (top-down effect) and (b) modification of the CEP (e.g., coercion) triggered by elements in the CC (bottom-up effect). A further important aspect of the project is the potential polysemy/vagueness of CEPs and its significance for the respective clausal complementation properties (e.g., Spanish sentir : ‘sense’ with indicative, ‘be sorry’ with subjunctive). It is the goal of the project to learn more about the direction of optimization in the match of CEP and CC by looking at polysemous/vague CEPs. The project will also be concerned with the cyclic/non-cyclic propagation of control, raising, restructuring and bridge phenomena in recursive structures of CEP stacking.The project critically addresses the significance of cyclic optimization for the interaction of syntax and semantics. By understanding specific CC types as independent cyclic domains, a potential problem for cyclic locality emerges: the wellformedness of these domains depends on the interpretation and other properties of the CEP (and potentially further elements in the higher/extended domain). Optimization, i.e., the selection of suitable CC candidates or CEP readings, cannot take place before CEP and CC are combined/merged. The project will tentatively explore if this problem can be solved by cyclic adjustment of semantic representations in an optimality-theoretic grammar.
