Dorothee Beermann and Lars Hellan: A treatment of directionals in implemented HPSG Grammars
This article proposes a semantics of directional expressions in Norwegian and
German, regarded as VP modifiers. The analysis uses Minimal Recursion
Semantics, as an integrated part of Matrix-based HPSG grammars. Directional
expressions are analyzed as modifying an individual, the 'mover'. Context
dependent directionals like here receive a decomposed analysis. Telicity values
reflecting various types of directional and locative expressions are computed.
