We discuss the problem of deriving upper-bounded meanings of few, fewer than, and related expressions, in treatments where they are taken to denote predicates of individuals. In such analyses, the determiner-like uses of these expressions are derived by existentially- closing their predicate denotations, but this is known to give rise to problems (van Benthem, 1986). We show ...

Following a recent discussion in Fox and Spector 2018, this paper provides an argument for a
particular view of the theory of scalar implicatures and exhaustification where exhaustification
is only allowed if it alters the overall sentence meaning without weakening it.
I show that this idea is helpful to make sense of the so-called dependent plural imterpreta
tions, addressed ...

Uncontroversially, the meaning of first and second person pronouns and “imposters”, i.e. expressions like yours truly, (Collins and Postal 2012), should be indexical (Kaplan 1977/1989, Stalnaker 1970), but how exactly this indexicality is achieved has been a matter of some debate. While not settling the debate, this paper aims to show that there is no ...

The objective of this paper is to present and describe a teaching tool for linguistics students who are learning English, a tool which furthers their linguistic education at the same time as it gives them some challenging experience with reading practice with the kinds of tests they will encounter in the main international English language ...

In a variety of languages, plural DPs like books systematically show non-singularity inferences
in some contexts, but not in others.
Competition-based theories of plurality derive non-singularity inferences from reasoning about
the meaning of the plural form against its singular alternative (Sauerland, 2003; Spector, 2007;
Zweig, 2009). A parallel claim has been made about the meaning of singular DPs { in ...

The paper presents an experimental evidence for Lewis’s (1979) constraints on granularity shifting, Krifka’s (2007) representation of granularity in numerals, and its extension to adjectives. Thus, it supports the view that general principles govern the setting of a granularity level and its shifting within discourse in different domains of grammar, including simple and complex numerals and unmodified and ...

This paper discusses the phenomenon of ambiguous interpretation of Russian nibud’-indefinites in Neg-Raising contexts. There are two major approaches to Neg-Raising: the syntactic approach which considers it an instance of the syntactic process of raising and the pragmatic approach which takes it as a result of pragma-semantic processes happening to NegRaising predicates. In this work ...

This paper discusses new facts on comparative constructions in Circassian languages that contribute to a theoretical debate about the semantics of comparatives. We argue that Circassian comparatives provide the direct evidence for the combination of two recent insights into comparative semantics: the theory of two loci of degree quantication in such constructions and theories postulating exhaustivity or maximisation ...

This paper focuses on the meaning of degree modifiers such as slightly and completely, when they are either more prosodically prominent than the scalar adjective they modify or less so. Thus, one challenge is to explain the meaning, function and distribution of these modifiers. A second challenge is to explain the way accentuation (prosodic prominence ...

This paper focuses on the connection between “four-category ontologies” (which are based on Aristotle’s ontological square) and modern type-theoretical semantics. Four- category ontologies make a distinction between four types of entities: substantial universals, substantial particulars, accidental universals and accidental particulars. According to B. Smith, “fantology is a doctrine to the effect that the key to ...

В докладе обсуждаются два северохантыйских посессивных показателя с расширенной семантикой: -en/-an [POSS.2SG] и -ew/-aw [POSS.1PL]. Оба показателя выступают в контекстах типологически характерных для определённых артиклей: первый обязателен при локальной уникальности, второй при глобальной уникальности. При этом в последнем случае также возможно употребление -en, однако оно порождает Q-импликатуру "твой, но не наш". Кроме того, -en обязательно с именами собственными. В данном случае импликатура ...

We have examined the evidential contrast between the first and the second past tense morphemes
in Komi-Zyrian. We found that in resultative contexts, the first past tense morphology
and the second past tense morphology compete with each other. While the use of the
second past tense morpheme signals that the speaker has indirect (inferential or hearsay)
evidence for the ...
