Lexical function

[1][note 1] LFs are also used in the construction of technical lexica (Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionaries) and as abstract nodes in certain types of syntactic representation.

1996;[8] analysis of the most frequent type of lexical functions—verb-noun collocations—can be found in Gelbukh & Kolesnikova 2013.

A normal LF ƒ is called Standard if and only if it satisfies both following conditions: 1.

An example of a Non-Standard LF is the meaning ‘without addition of dairy product’.

This meaning fails Condition 1: it is too specific and applicable only to one beverage.

S0 = Substantival, output N having a congruent meaning to L (which can be of any part of speech except N): 7.

A0 = Adjectival, output A having a congruent meaning to L (which can be of any part of speech except A): 8.

V0 = Verbal, output V having a congruent meaning to L (which can be of any part of speech except V): 9.

Smed = standard name of the means used to bring about the situation denoted by L. 13.

Smod = standard name of the mode through which the situation denoted by L is realized.

Sloc = standard name of the location where the situation denoted by L is realized.

Ai = determining property of the i-th DSyntA of L from the viewpoint of its role in the situation ‘L’.

Advi = the determining property of the action by the i-th DSyntA of L from the viewpoint of the role of the DSyntAi of L in the situation denoted by L. 20.

magnus ‘big, great’] = ‘very’, ‘to a (very) high degree’, ‘intense(ly)’: 24.

locus ‘place’] = preposition governing L and designating a containing spatial location (‘being in’): 27.

locus ‘place’] = preposition governing L and designating an exiting spatial relation (‘moving out of’): 29.

involvere ‘[to] drag along’] = verb meaning ‘[to] involve Y’, ‘[to] affect Y’ 44.

In MTT, the LFs for L are included in the entry for L in the Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary:

Definition X’s revulsion for Y ≡ ‘X’s (strong) negative feeling about Y caused by X’s perception of Y, similar to what people normally experience when they perceive something that makes them sick and such that it causes that X wants to stop perceiving Y’.

Government Pattern 2. at N 3. for N 4. toward N 1) CII.2 : N denotes something that can be seen or felt 2) CII.4 : N denotes people [‘C’ stands for ‘column;’ the Roman numeral identifies the column, and the Arabic numeral, the cell in it.]
