X minutes IN every week #132

Closed esmanning closed 2 years ago

esmanning commented 3 years ago

With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes IN every week lpp_23 sent_id = lpp_1943.1214

Similar to #1, but more temporal. Time? Locus? Frequency? Whole?

nschneid commented 3 years ago

Though the quantifier "every" provides frequency semantics to the NP, I don't think it's a Frequency PP. If you select one particular week those fifty-three minutes saved are in that week, correct?

esmanning commented 3 years ago

Correct!

nschneid commented 3 years ago

So we can say 53 minutes OF/IN/OUT_OF the week. Ideally these would have the same scene role but different functions?

For the scene role I'm vacillating between Time and Whole. I guess technically Whole is better because a time period is a portion of another time period.

esmanning commented 3 years ago

Time\~Whole is also tempting (used for some other "time in time" constructions like "the 15th of March"), but then we'd lose the ability to change function based on the preposition.

nschneid commented 3 years ago

OF can have Whole as a function, but off the top of my head we don't have precedent for IN with Whole as a function.

aryamanarora commented 3 years ago

Why not Time~Time? We do use Time to pick out something that takes place over a span, e.g. "I worked for fifty-three minutes DURING the week" is unambiguously Time. (Although, perhaps on a tangent, I think the functions of DURING and AT/ON temporally should probably be split up.)

aryamanarora commented 3 years ago

Alternatively, IN_EVERY behaves like PER.

nschneid commented 2 years ago

Going with Time. Whole seems like overkill
