“…Deutlich wird dies etwa in der Betrachtung dieser Konstruktionen bei Helbig & Buscha (2001), die sich scheuen, diese Sequenzen Phrasen zu nennen und stattdessen von Wortgruppen sprechen. Baldwin et al (2006) folgen dieser Sicht und klassifizieren entsprechende Konstruktionen des Englischen als multiword expressions. Wenn überhaupt über diese Sequenzen gesprochen wird, dann werden Sonderfälle innerhalb dieser schon speziellen Konstruktion behandelt, so etwa bei Trawinski (2003) und Trawinski et al (2006) im Rahmen der Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) oder in Burger (2003).…”

“…Many works have examined bare nouns in a single position (e.g., Baldwin et al, 2006;Stvan, 1993Stvan, , 1998 on prepositional phrases; Borik & Gehrke, 2015;Stvan, 2007 on direct objects; Berezowski, 2009 on nominal predicates). Responding, then, to Question 3, we illustrate the distribution of each of the 15 most frequent BSCNs according to their position as subject, direct object or object of a preposition.…”

Learning English bare singulars: Data in the L2 classroom

ENContrasted with the more typical English bare noun forms of mass and proper nouns, bare singular count nouns comprise a problematic set for many descriptive grammars and thus for many second language learners. Although article usage is one of the trickiest areas of English as a Second Language (ESL) to master, bare noun phrases, and bare singulars in particular, are less emphasized in the English language classroom, where much of the focus is placed on learning to produce articles, not learning to exclude them. To investigate L2 sensitivity to bare singular forms, the distribution of bare and articulated NPs in corpus data is contrasted, nouns appearing most often without articles are tracked, and a survey of L2 grammaticality judgments by adult learners is gathered. Lastly, the combined results of the corpus and survey data are integrated into a lesson on the syntax and pragmatics of bare singular count nouns that is designed for the ESL classroom. Key words: BARE SINGULARS, ENGLISH ARTICLES, ESL, CORPUS ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING, L1 LANGUAGE TYPES ES En contraste con las formas nominales indeterminadas del inglés tales como los sustantivos incontables y los nombrespropios, los sustantivos contables en singular suponen una dificultad en muchas gramáticas descriptivas y, por ende, para muchos aprendientes de L2. Aunque el uso del artículo es uno de los aspectos más difíciles en el aprendizaje del inglés como L2, las frases nominales no determinadas, en especial los sustantivos indeterminados en singular, no suelen recibir un tratamiento extenso en la clase de inglés, ya que la atención se centra en aprender a producir artículos, no en excluirlos. Con el fin de investigar la sensibilidad de los aprendientes de inglés L2 a las formas singulares indeterminadas de sustantivos ingleses, se contrasta la distribución de las frases nominales indeterminadas y articuladas en un corpus, realizándose un seguimiento de los sustantivos que aparecen con más frecuencia sin artículo, así como un estudio de juicios de gramaticalidad en aprendientes adultos de L2. Finalmente, los resultados combinados de los datos procedentes del estudio y del corpus se integran en una lección sobre sintaxis y pragmática de sustantivos singulares indeterminados diseñada para la clase de inglés como L2. Palabras clave: SINGULARES INDETERMINADOS, ARTÍCULOS DEL INGLÉS, INGLÉS COMO L2, APRENDIZAJE DE LENGUAS ASISTIDO POR CORPUS, TIPOS LINGÜÍSTICOS COMO L1IT I sostantivi non numerabili e i nomi propri che si presentano spogli, ovvero senza articoli o quantificatori, risultano piuttosto comuni in inglese. Al contrario, i sostantivi singolari spogli rappresentano un gruppo problematico per molte grammatiche descrittive e di consequenza per molti studenti di inglese L2. Sebbene l'uso dell'articolo sia una delle strutture più complesse da padroneggiare nell'inglese come lingua seconda/straniera (ESL), i sintagmi nominali (SN), e nello specifico quelli singolari, sono meno enfatizzati nei corsi di inglese, nei quali l'attenzione è posta sull'abi...

“…Omission of articles in prepositional phrases is a cross-linguistically widespread phenomenon, especially with locative prepositions (Himmelmann 1998, Stvan 1998, Baldwin et al 2006. Here are some examples (see Stvan 1998 for extensive lists):…”

Less form – more meaning: Why bare singular nouns are special

In languages like English, bare nominals are only used in special constructions, and they come with special meaning effects. This paper applies bidirectional Optimality Theory to explain why unmarked (articleless) forms have unmarked (stereotypical) meanings. The syntactic unmarkedness of bare nominals is embedded in a constraint-based typology of number, article use and referentiality. The semantic unmarkedness of the stereotypical interpretation falls out of the strongest meaning hypothesis.
