Inhalt:

This module deals with different approaches towards describing com-plementation phenomena in English. Particular emphasis will be put on the approach of valency theory and its application to English:

• What are the formal categories to be identified as complements in English?

• the status of semantic roles

• lexicographic description of valency phenomena

• How can a valency description be combined with the argument structure constructions proposed in construction grammar?

The seminar involves practical analysis of English texts in a valency framework.
