Particle verbs and a theory of late lexical insertion

For example, to account for the syntactic separability of particle verbs, Stiebels & Wunderlich (1994) and Stiebels (1996) introduce a morphological feature [+max], together with a universal condition that requires elements marked with this feature to be syntactically visible. Stiebels and Wunderlic ...

Linguistic Ambiguity in Language-based Jokes
