Do We Need a Distinction between Arguments and Adjuncts? Evidence from Psycholinguistic Studies of Comprehension
(2008) In Language and Linguistics Compass 2(4). p.631-646- Abstract
- Within both psycholinguistic theories of parsing and formal theories of syntax, a
distinction between arguments and adjuncts is central to some theories, while
minimized or denied by others. Even for theories that deem the argument/
adjunct distinction important, the exact nature of the distinction has been difficult
to characterize. In this article, we review the psycholinguistic evidence for an
argument/adjunct distinction, discuss how argument status can best be defined in
the light of such evidence, and consider the implications for how grammatical
knowledge is represented and accessed in the human mind.
