When Wide Scope Is Not Enough: Scope and Topicality of Discourse Referentsd in sign space. It is argued that a combination of scope and topicality is required when analysing the correlation between the introduction of entities into the discourse and assigning a spatial location.

When Disjunction Looks Like Conjunction: Pragmatic Consequences in ASLsigns WANT TEA COORD COFFEE can be interpreted as "I want tea or coffee" or "I want tea and coffee" depending on contextual or world knowledge or other linguistic information such as prosodic marking and the addition of disambiguating lexical material. In this paper I show that these general use coo

Quantificational Strategies across Language Modalitiest attention was paid to quantificational strategies that rely on adverbs, or affixes. In this paper I discuss three varieties of quantificational strategies attested in two sign languages (ASL and LSC) and argue that even the apparent instances of determiner quantification in those languages make us

We have found that pragmatic strategies dependent on verification (Lasersohn 1993,von Fintel 2004) and topicalization (Strawson 1964, Reinhart 1981), suggested in the context of trivalent theories, both pla

Licensing Sentence-Internal Readings in Englishment. This reading is licensed only if a semantically plural NP is present. We argue in this paper that it is incorrect to describe a particular NP as either licensing or not licensing the sentence-internal reading of a specific AOC: licensing is more fine-grained. We use experimental methods to est

Evaluative Adjectives, Scale Structure, and Ways of Being Polite evidence we will be using is based on a corpus study. The more general goal of this paper is to develop and describe a pipeline that would help solve quantitative semantic tasks in an easier and more systematic way, this particular study being an example.

Relating ERP-Effects to Theories of Belief Update and Combining Systemsve an answer to the question of how the gap between psycholinguistic and formal models of specific aspects of language on the one hand and the neural architecture underlying neurophysiological measures on the other can be bridged (Baggio et al. 2010). An interesting research program based on the ext

Can Children Tell Us Something about the Semantics of Adjectives?account for the meaning of gradable adjectives, i.e. the degree-based analysis and the partial function approach. We claim that younger children start by assigning a nominal like interpretation to relative gradable adjectives (. means “with a vertical dimension”), and that only at a later stage, for
