	Incorporation (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Incorporation is a phenomenon by which a word, usually a verb, forms a kind of compound with, for instance, its direct object or adverbial modifier, while retaining its original syntactic function.
		Incorporation is central to many polysynthetic languages such as those found in North America and Siberia, but polysynthesis does not necessarily imply incorporation.
		Noun incorporation usually deletes one of the arguments of the verb, and in some languages this is shown explicitly.

	[No title]
		The incorporated root can be interpreted together with a demonstrative (4a), an adjectival modifier (4b), a quantifier (or numeral) (4c), or a relative clause (4d): (4) a.
		Further instances of an animate incorporated noun failing to appear with object agreement are found in (19a) and (20a,b). Again, one might try to save the lexicalist approach by saying that the compound in (22b) is simply intransitive syntactically.
		Noun incorporation then takes place, and only afterwards are the stems inflected--either in the syntax by moving through functional category projections in the spirit of Pollock (1989) and Chomsky (1991), or in the PF component by morphological rules such as those of Anderson (1982) and similar work.

		Li examines both the linguistic facts that are brought to light for the first time and the existing data in the literature and shows that each side has an empirical foundation that cannot be negated by the other.
		He then examines causativization on the adjectival root, noun incorporation in polysynthetic languages, and the possibility that the word formation part of the Lexicalist Hypothesis -- which is crucial to his theory -- can be derived as a theorem from a version of the X-bar theory.

		History: When European linguists encountered languages of the Americas they were struck by constructions and compounds of the form N\V or V/N (using a categorial notation) in which the nominal element was semantically in some sense an argument (usually direct object) of the verb.
		"Noun incorporation" is, at least sometimes and perhaps always, a composiutional or etymological process, which differs from the familiar processes of noun composition only in resulting in words of a different part of speech.
		There is no evidence of the existence of any kind of "incorporation" that so far as its process or method is concerned is different from processes pccurring in European languages, and it is more reasonable to assume that there can be no such difference than that there must be.

		Distinguishing between discourse referents and thematic arguments, the analysis of incorporation proposed by Donka Farkas and Henriettë de Swart accounts for the relationship between morphological and semantic number, the contrasts between incorporated singulars and incorporated plurals, and various "shades" of discourse transparency.
		Linguists and logicians interested in discourse structure, cross-linguistic semantics, and the relationship between morpho-syntax and meaning will find this an engaging and innovative work.

		In this talk, I present the semantic analysis of West Greenlandic noun incorporating configurations developed in van Geenhoven (1996).
		I show how this process - called Semantic Incorporation - captures the inherent narrow scope of incorporated nouns as well as their lack of a partitive and of a definite reading.
		From a cross-linguistic perspective, Semantic Incorporation sheds new light on the notion of "weak NP".

	Compound (linguistics) - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A special kind of composition is incorporation, of which noun incorporation into a verbal root (as in English backstabbing, breastfeed, etc.) is most prevalent (see below).
		English prefers another type of verb-noun compounds, in which an argument of the verb is incorporated into the verb, which is then usually turned into a gerund, such as breastfeeding, finger-pointing, etc. The noun is usually an instrumental complement.
		Compound prepositions formed by prepositions and nouns are common in English and the Romance languages (consider English on top of, Spanish encima de, etc.).

		The idea behind this conference is to bring together syntacticians and semanticists who have worked on the topic of nominal incorporation and/or nominal conflation, often independently.
		In addition to giving descriptions and providing accounts of the different kinds of nominal incorporation available cross-linguistically, the meeting hopes to address issues such as the status of (pseudo) nominal incorporation and the concept of (pseudo) nominal conflation.
		But again, it is important to stress that submissions about incorporation in all language families is solicited.

		This enables the operation to have at least the same potential for linguistic application as Bouma's and Carpenter's definitions of typed default unification, but with the added advantage of being declarative.
		I and others have defended the view that it is syntactic, with the incorporated noun counting as (part of) the grammatical object of the verb.
		Then I will show how an understanding of the nonconfigurational syntax that is typical of languages having noun incorporation affects the logic of the arguments and their empirical predictions.

		Classes (ii) and (iii) are further distinguished from the determinate class (i) in that their overt objects are syntactically closely associated with the verb.
		Second, in the class (i) case the D head has no overt content and it is thus the empty D head that incorporates to the verb.
		The remainder of the DP (if it has other overt content) is 'left behind' as a result of head-raising of the V and incorporated D. This account extends on the range of incorporation possibilities in Austronesian languages, providing at the same time an elegant rationale for the observed surface effects.

		Another question arises from incorporation which, though well studied by a number of linguists for other languages, still presents challenges for linguistic theory.
		Such examples indicate that incorporation, which involves a long-distance dependency, need not involve a head, but may involve numerals, quantifiers, modifiers, etc., at least in Nuuchahnulth, and possibly in other languages (Greenlandic, for instance).
		This research will be of significance not only to theoretical linguists interested in the properties of a little known language and their theoretical consequences for our understanding of human cognition, but also to cultural anthropologists, specialists in Native American studies, linguistic typologists and fieldworkers, and furthermore to the general public.

	Abstract: Keira G. Ballantyne
		Cross linguistically, voice and transitivity alternations are exploited in order to suppress noun phrase arguments, to manipulate word order and to grant or withdraw prominence from discourse entities.
		For a morphosyntactic alternation such as noun incorporation to be a discourse variable, the alternation in question must be productive.
		Thus, Yapese speakers do not have access to the analogical relationships acquired to generate novel noun incorporations, and are therefore highly unlikely to have access to noun incorporation as a discourse variable.

		Note that the incorporation of a noun in this type does not change the valence of the transitive verb.
		Because Noun Incorporations (for the types that change the valence of the verb) yield verbs by satisfying an argument position, the result then being a Verb that has one less argument position to fill.
		Wakashan lines up with Greenlandic in that the closest thing to incorporation is the use of affixes that yield verbal stems when combined with the proper sort of argument.
