The diachronic semantics of English again
Natural Language Semantics - - 2015
Sigrid Beck, Remus Gergel
Perception, selection, and structural economy
Natural Language Semantics - Tập 2 - Trang 47-70 - 1993
Ken Safir
In this essay I will explore the syntactic expression of the notion ‘clause’ by focusing on some syntactic and semantic properties of bare infinitive (BI) complements to perception verbs in English. I shall argue briefly that perception BI complements must be clausal, and then turn in more detail to the issue of what sort of clause the BI complement must be. It will be established that the categor...... hiện toàn bộ
The semantic ingredients of imperfectivity in progressives, habituals, and counterfactuals
Natural Language Semantics - Tập 24 - Trang 353-397 - 2016
Marcelo Ferreira
This paper develops a unified analysis for the meaning of imperfective aspect that covers progressives, habituals, and counterfactuals, aiming at an understanding of two crosslinguistically frequent syncretisms: one between progressives and habituals, and one between habituals and counterfactuals. I first discuss progressive and habitual readings in detail, identifying mereological, temporal, and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Always and Only: Why Not All Focus-Sensitive Operators Are Alike
Natural Language Semantics - Tập 11 - Trang 323-362 - 2003
David Beaver, Brady Clark
We discuss focus sensitivity in English, the phenomenon whereby interpretation of some expressions is affected by placement of intonational focus. We concentrate in particular on the interpretation of always and only, both of which are interpreted as universal quantifiers, and both of which are focus sensitive. Using both naturally occurring and constructed data we explore the interaction of these...... hiện toàn bộ
Why will is not a modal

Time and evidence in the graded tense system of Mvskoke (Creek)
Natural Language Semantics - Tập 30 - Trang 155-183 - 2022
Kimberly Johnson
In recent years, much attention has been given to the puzzling relationship between tense and evidence type found in languages where a single morpheme appears to encode both reference to time and to the evidential source for the assertion. In natural language, tense has long been understood as serving to locate the time at which the proposition expressed by the sentence holds. The two main theorie...... hiện toàn bộ
Pluractionality in Chechen Dịch bởi AI
Natural Language Semantics - Tập 11 - Trang 289-321 - 2003
Alan C. L. Yu
Khái niệm Pluractionality (PLR) là một danh mục hình thái học chỉ chung về nhiều hành động. Bài báo này, dựa trên công trình nghiên cứu thực địa, cung cấp cuộc điều tra đầu tiên về PLR trong tiếng Chechen, một ngôn ngữ Nakh được nói ở phần trung đông của Bắc Caucasus. Dữ liệu phản ánh phương ngữ chuẩn của tiếng Chechen được sử dụng ở và xung quanh các thành phố Murus-Martan và Grozny. PLR trong ti...... hiện toàn bộ
Indeterminate Phrase Quantification in Japanese
Natural Language Semantics - Tập 14 - Trang 139-173 - 2006
Junko Shimoyama
This paper examines the question of how so-called indeterminate phrases in Japanese (Kuroda 1965) associate with relevant particles higher in the structure. In the universal construction in Japanese, the restrictor (provided by an indeterminate phrase) sometimes appears to be separate from the universal particle mo. It is proposed that quantification at a distance is only apparent, and that the re...... hiện toàn bộ
Individual-denoting classifiers
Natural Language Semantics - Tập 15 - Trang 95-130 - 2007
Mana Kobuchi-Philip
This paper discusses Japanese numeral quantifiers that are used to count individuals, rather than quantities, of a substance, and which may occur either as floated or non-floated quantifiers. It is argued that such morphologically complex numeral quantifiers (NQs) are semantically complex as well: The numeral within the NQ is the quantifier itself, the classifier its domain of quantification. The ...... hiện toàn bộ
Finding the force: How children discern possibility and necessity modals
Natural Language Semantics - Tập 30 - Trang 269-310 - 2022
Anouk Dieuleveut, Annemarie van Dooren, Ailís Cournane, Valentine Hacquard
This paper investigates when and how children figure out the force of modals: that possibility modals (e.g., can/might) express possibility, and necessity modals (e.g., must/have to) express necessity. Modals raise a classic subset problem: given that necessity entails possibility, what prevents learners from hypothesizing possibility meanings for necessity modals? Three solutions to such subset p...... hiện toàn bộ
