Two challenges for existentialist approaches to strict negative concord
TABU: Bulletin voor Taalwetenschap. 2024. P. 312–328.
I present two challenges for the popular approach to the meaning of negative concord items, or neg-words, as existential quantifiers or indefinites. The first challenge concerns the interaction of that analysis with the approaches to fragment answers as instances of clausal ellipsis. The second challenge stems from the ability of multiple neg-words within one clause to be modified by almost, which is unexpected if they are existentials or indefinites.

В нганасанском языке существует сложная система чередования гласных в суффиксах, которая восходит к противопоставлению переднего и заднего рядов, но в результате многих передвижений гласных лишилась фонетической мотивации. Из всех суффиксов есть один глагольный, который, присоединяясь к корням, выражающим визуально наблюдаемые свойства, способен принимать гласные обоих сингармонических классов, соответственно меняя гласные и всех аффиксов, следующих за ...

Рассматриваются формы сравнительной степени прилагательных, которые возникли в диалектахсеверных тунгусо-маньчжурских языков. Морфологическая сравнительная степень ‒ типологически довольно редкое явление, которое отсутствует, в том числе, в большинстве языков Сибири. Однако во многих диалектах эвенкийского, эвенского и негидальского языков эти формы появились, грамматикализовавшись в континентальных диалектах из селективного показателя, а в быстринском эвенском (Камчатка) ‒ из аттенуатива. ...

Previous EEG studies demonstrated ample evidence for a major influence of morphological regularity on inflectional processing. However, regularity effects may be attributed to different properties of inflectional classes: to type frequency, to productivity, or to defaultness (assumed only in some models). In many languages, these factors cannot be teased apart, but it is possible in ...

Various coordinating and subordinating conjunctions that connect clauses differ in their structural properties. Such properties seem to influence dis course prominence: references to antecedents from main clauses are more frequent than from subordinate. Structurally, coordinate and subordinate clauses, as well as in-between cases, can be distinguished based on the degree of integration to the host ...
