Investigating valency-changing prefixes in Czech and German using large syntactically annotated data
Abstract
Valency-changing morphology is a phenomenon described for many typologically diverse languages. Morphological operations such as the addition of a derivational affix can have an effect on the number and type of arguments that a verb has, i.e., its valency / argument structure. This submission quantifies this phenomenon as it is manifested in verbal prefixation in Czech and German - two languages in which prefixation is the most productive type of verb-formation and in which, although there are individual differences in the behavior of the prefixes, the addition of a prefix to a verb often has an effect on its valency.
Keywords: morphology, word-formation, valency, argument structure, Czech, German
