  • A collostructional approach to the concealed passive construction in English

    Open AccessRok Sims, Rok Sim et al.ARTICLEEnglish Language and Linguistics2026

    This study investigates the English concealed passive construction (CPC), as in the car needs washing , using authentic corpus data. While previous research has explored certain aspects of the CPC, little attention has been given to strongly associated matrix verbs (or verb types) and interactions between matrix verbs (or verb types) and other elements of the construction. To address these issues, we apply three types of collostructional analysis…

  • Constructing the “other”

    Hyeseon Noh, Rok Sims et al.ARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2026Referências: 46

    This study examines patterns of online racialized hate speech in South Korea amid rapid demographic change and a strong ethnonationalist identity. Drawing on racial threat theory, we analyze 3,077 racially/ethnically offensive comments from NAVER and YouTube (2020–2022) using the Korean Offensive Language Dataset (KOLD). Using morphological analysis and keyword-frequency categorization, we identify dominant themes and targets. The results show tw…

  • This construction needs understood

    Frances Blanchette, Stanley Dubinsky et al.ARTICLEAmerican Speech2024Referências: 15

    The Alternative Embedded Passive (AEP) occurs in the Midland region in variation with the infinitival passive. AEPs may occur with the verbs need, want, and like: The baby needs/wants/likes fed. Murray & Simon (2002) observe a hierarchy of acceptability and usage across the three AEP verbs, with need as the most acceptable and like as the least. Building on an idea in Edelstein (2014), this paper presents evidence that the hierarchy results from …

  • Case-matching effects under clausal ellipsis and the cue-based theory of sentence processing

    Open AccessJoanna Nykiel, J B Kim et al.ARTICLEJournal of Linguistics2022Citada por: 2Referências: 6

    This paper is concerned with case-matching effects under clausal ellipsis. We begin by considering available crosslinguistic data that indicate that variation in case marking on a fragment is delimited by the argument structure of the lexical head that assigns case to the fragment’s correlate in the antecedent clause. We then offer experimental evidence for a case-matching preference in Korean when a fragment and its correlate may differ in case …

  • Concealed passives and the syntax and semantics of need/philyo in English and Korean

    Open AccessRok Sims, Rok Sim et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Linguistic…2021

    Despite similar argument structure, the syntax of English need and Korean philyo contrasts, illuminating differences in lexical derivation and insertion of argument-taking elements. Verbs need, require, deserve, want, and bear take gerundive complements that are "understood passively" (Jesperson 1927/1954:112[9.23]) and called concealed passive constructions (CPCs) (Huddleston and Pullum 2002:1429). In this paper, we argue that in English, the ge…
