Sarveswaran, Kengatharaiyer & Butt, Miriam: Computational Challenges with Tamil Complex Predicates

This paper presents work in the context of the development of a computational ParGram style grammar for Tamil. The grammar is implemented via the XLE grammar development platform and contains a Finite-State Morphological Analyser implemented via Foma. This paper reports on challenges for the implementation found with respect to V-V complex predicates in terms of the interaction with phonology (Sandhi) and the lexicon. In particular, we focused on the interaction of causation and passivisation with complex predication. This paper provides further evidence from Tamil complex predicates for the use of the Restriction Operator and also addresses issues with respect to complex predication at the morphology-syntax interface.
