LOT 574: Incorporation

September 04, 2020/in Dissertations, News /by Janacy
Marieke Olthof

The Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics is pleased to announce a new publication in the LOT Dissertation Series by Marieke Olthof.

This thesis examines the range of variation regarding the pragmatic, semantic, morphosyntactic, phonological and lexical properties of incorporation constructions, focusing specifically on constraints on the variation. The thesis starts out with a review of the pragmatic, semantic and phonological variation in incorporation described in previous literature and the relevant constraints that can be formulated on the basis of earlier research. This review is followed by three in-depth studies of particular domains of morphosyntactic, pragmatic-semantic and lexical variation in incorporation. These domains of variation are analyzed based on data from a varied sample of languages. The morphosyntactic domain investigated concerns the possible morphosyntactic forms of incorporated elements. The pragmatic and semantic properties that are examined are the referentiality and modifiability of incorporated nouns respectively. With respect to the lexical properties of incorporation, the thesis addresses the question which types of verbs do and do not allow the incorporation of nouns. Finally, it is shown that the different theoretical accounts of incorporation proposed in the literature are only partly able to capture or predict the variation and constraints presented in this thesis. The thesis thus indicates that theoretical work on incorporation may generally benefit from paying more attention to the full range of variation in incorporation constructions and its constraints.

Scientific mission of LOT

The aim of LOT is to create a scientific community in which this research can be optimally pursued, and to educate the next generation of researchers with an open mind toward new disciplinary and interdisciplinary developments, theoretical and methodological alternatives, and possible applications.

LOT stimulates new initiatives and developments in research, and provides a national forum to further communication between the participating institutes with a view to short- and long-term collaboration.

LOT School Series

LOT was officially established in June 1994 by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The LOT school series soon acquired an international reputation as a result of inviting well-known linguists to teach at the schools.

The research by the LOT institutes covers all major areas of linguistics, and exploits a wide range of methodological tools and theoretical frameworks.
