Complementation in Functional Discourse Grammar

Kees HengeveldAmsterdam Center for Language and

Introduction

- Earlier work on adverbial subordination (Hengeveld 1997) led to the identification of three parameters that govern the selection of deranked (≈non-finite) and/or balanced (≈finite) verb forms in adverbial clauses- These parameters were defined independently of the adverbial nature of the clauses studied, and should therefore be equally applicable to complement clauses

3

Introduction

- The current paper tests this prediction by applying the parameters concerned to the systems of complementation in the languages of the same sample that was used for adverbial subordination.- In doing so I will also apply some new insights that have come out of work on Functional Discourse Grammar (Hengeveld & Mackenzie (2008), which allow for a more systematic treatment.

Operators and modifiers

- A layer can be further specified in two different ways, through operators (π) and modifiers (σ) These grammatical strategies are different, but the semantic effects are comparable. Some examples:

14

Operators and modifiers

(π p1: [.....] (p1))

π = InferHe must be home.

( p1: [.....] (p1): σ (p1) σ = apparently

Apparently he is home

15

Operators and modifiers

(π e1: [.....] (p1))

π = HabHe used to arrive late.

( e1: [.....] (p1): σ (p1) σ = normally

He normally arrives late

16

Layers and complementation

- Layers can also occur as arguments of CTPs, and thus be the pragmatic and/or semantic counterpart of complement clauses- Every layer stands for a certain entity type, such as ‘propositional content’, ‘state-of-affairs’, etc.- The semantics of the CTP determines with which entity type it can combine, e.g.

17

Layers and complementation

(CTP) (π p1: [.....] (p1): σ (e1))ϕ

CTP = seemIt seems that he is home

(CTP) (π e1: [.....] (e1): σ (e1))ϕ

CTP = customaryIt is customary for him to arrive late

18

Operators, modifiers, CTPs

- As a result of this approach, interpersonal and representational layers can be interpreted as a classification of CCs, with a steadily decreasing degree of internal complexity the lower one gets in the hierarchical structure.- At the same time, the underlying layers predict what kind of distintions can and cannot be expressed in CCs of these different types, as the lower one gets, the more operator and modifier positions are lost.

2. Layering and complement clauses

20

Interpersonal layers underlying complement clauses

(π M1: (π A1: [… (π C1: [(T1) (R1)] (C1): Σ (C1))] (A1): Σ (A1)) (M1): Σ (M1))

ex. CTP conclude(π A1: [… (π C1: [(T1) (R1)]

(C1): Σ (C1))] (A1): Σ (A1))

ex. CTP go_without_saying

(π C1: [(T1) (R1)] (C1): Σ (C1))

ex. CTP say

21

M-complement

(f1: [(f2: concludeV (f2)) (x1)A (M1: [(A1), (A2) ... ] (M1) Σ (M1 ))U] (f1))

While it is difficult to make generalizations about such a diverse public, it is easy to conclude [that, in sum these actions have led to a net loss of vegetative cover relative to pre-settlement condi-tions, as well as a substantial change in the type of vegetation present. At the same time, public consciousness regarding the importance of urban vegetation has certainly risen in the last ten years, although how much of that awareness has translated into changed behavior vis a vis urban plants in Quito is an open question.] (Internet)

22

A-complement

(f1: [(f2: go_without_sayingV (f2)) (A1: [... (C1)] (A1): Σ (A1))U] (f1))

It goes without saying [that, in addition (*in sum), issues such as quality and a customer-oriented approach will be kept in mind.] (Internet)

23

C-complement

(f1: [(f2: sayV (f2)) (x1)A (C1: [(T1) (R1)] (C1): Σ (C1 ))U] (f1))

He said [that reportedly (*in addition) there was some history of threats of domestic abuse in the family.] (Internet)

24

Representational layers underlying complement clauses

(π p1: (π ep1: (π e1: (π f1: [(f2) (x1)] (f1): σ (f1)) (e1): σ (e1)) (ep1): σ (ep1)) (p1): σ (p1))

(ex. CTP believe)(π ep1: (π e1: (π f1: [(f2) (x1)] (f1): σ (f1)) (e1): σ (e1))

(ep1): σ (ep1))

(ex. CTP be_possible) (π e1: (π f1: [(f2)

(x1)] (f1): σ (f1)) (e1): σ (e1))

(ex. CTP see)

(π f1: [(f2) (x1)] (f1): σ (f1))

(ex. CTP continue)

25

p-complement

(f1: [(f2: believeV (f2)) (x1)A (p1: (ep1) … (ep2) (p1): σ (p1))U] (f1))

We believe [that possibly (*reportedly) as much as 60 percent (or more) of the population already believe [that the government is hiding what they know about worldly visitors.] (Internet)

26

ep-complement

(f1: [(f2: possibleAdj (f1)) (ep1: (e1) … (e2)) (ep1): σ (ep1))U] (f1))

It is possible [that later today or tomorrow (*probably) she will cover for the Loch Fyne allowing her larger fleet mate to go for her annual overhaul].

27

e-complement

(f1: [(f2: wantV (f2)) (x1)A (e1: (f3: … (f3)) (e1): σ (e1))U] (f1))

Lili wanted me [to come over after lunch (*yesterday)]. (Internet)

28

f-complement

(f1: [(f2: continueV (f2)) (x1)A (f3: [(f4) (x1)A] (f3): σ (f3))U] (f1))

The police continued [to shoot indiscriminately into the crowd (*after lunch)]. (Internet)

3. Initial prediction

30

Initial prediction

- The higher the highest layer underlying a complement clause is, the more likely it is that the verb form it contains is a balanced one. - The lower the highest layer underlying a complement clause is, the more likely it is that the verb form it contains is a deranked one.

31

Initial prediction

- A balanced verb form is one that can be used in a main clause. - A deranked verb form is one that can only be used in a subordinate clause.

32

Initial prediction

- Explanation 1: The higher the highest layer underlying a complement clause is, the more operator positions it contains. The operators occupying these positions have to be expressed, generally on the verb.- Explanation 2: The higher the highest layer underlying a complement clause is, the more the complement clause is like a main clause.

4. Layering and the typology of complement clauses

34

The entity type hierarchy

f ⊃ e ⊃ ep ⊃ p⊃ C (⊃ A ⊃ M)

The more to the right on the hierarchy the highest layer is that a CC expresses, the more likely it is that this CC contains a balanced verb form

The more to the left on the hierarchy the highest layer is that a CC expresses, the more likely it is that this CC contains a deranked verb form

5. Factuality and the typology of complement clauses

42

Factuality

- In some languages there is a major division between complement clauses that are factual in nature and those that are not. - Factuality is a cover term that hosts distinctions that apply in different ways to the different entity types.

Factual CCs are more likely to contain a deranked verb form than non-factual CCs.

46

The factuality hierarchy

Explanation:

There is a tendency in languages to mark the non-factual rather than the factual status of a complement clause explicitly, e.g. by means of a subjunctive

6. Presupposedness and the typology of complement clauses

66

Presupposedness

- In some languages there is a major division between complement clauses that are presupposed in nature and those that are not. - Presupposedness is a cover term that hosts distinctions that apply in different ways to the different entity and factuality types

67

Presupposedness

Factuale implied to be realized (force)ep presupposed to be real (commentative)p presupposed to be true (knowledge)Non-factuale implied not to be realized (prevent)ep presupposed not to be real (pretence)p presupposed not to be true (unreal wish)

68

The presupposedness hierarchy

Presupposed ⊃ Non-presupposed

Non-presupposed CCs are more likely to contain a balanced verb form than presupposed CCs.

Presupposed CCs are more likely to contain a deranked verb form than non-presupposed CCs.

69

The presupposedness hierarchy

Explanation

The factuality or non-factuality value of a presupposed CC is implied by the meaning of the CTP and therefore there is less need to express this value explicitly.

8. Conclusions

126

Conclusions

- The layered approach to complementation allows for a fine-grained classification of CCs- There is a strong crosslinguistically valid correlation between the highest layer the underlying representation a CC contains and its balanced or deranked expression- This correlation only obtains systematically when factual and non-factual and presupposed and non-presupposed CCs are distinguished and kept separate
