"Verdes ideas sin color no pueden dormir furiosamente" : restricciones que los conceptos [predicados] imponen sobre sus argumentos

Abstract

Wilk-Racięska Joanna, "Verdes ideas sin color no pueden dormir furiosamente" (Restricciones que los conceptos [predicados] imponen sobre sus argumentos) [Green ideas with no colour cannot sleep furiously. The restrictions that concepts (predicates) impose upon their arguments]. Studia Romanica Posnaniensia, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, Poznań, vol. XXXI: 2004, pp. 469- 475. ISBN 83-232-1353-4, ISSN 0137-2475. The purpose of this paper is a short presentation of some types of restrictions imposed by predicates upon the objects selected as their own arguments. We investigate several graramar procedures used by languages in order to classify objects in argument positions. We will also discuss the relations between these selections and different cultural schemes which can affect the classification and determine the use of linguistic forms. Theoretical instrument applied is the semantic theory known as semantic grammar or semantic syntax.
