Toward an inductive approach of the Mel’čukian model

Sylvain Kahane

Abstract

This paper analyzes the criteria proposed by Igor Mel'čuk (1988) for determining the syntactic head of a phrase. We show through the analysis of three constructions (relative clause, determiner-noun, coordination) that the surface syntactic structures Igor Mel'čuk postulates do not conform to the criteria he proposes. We study how a more inductive approach would allow us to better adjust the structure to the properties observed in the data.
