In this article, we argue that a structural distinction between predicational and equative copular clauses is illusory. All semantic relationships are constructed asymmetrically via syntactic head; differences reduce to whether head bears an event variable or not. This allows us maintain restrictive view of the syntax-semantics interface in face apparently recalcitrant data from Scottish Gaelic.
In this article, we argue that, under current conceptions of the architecture grammar, apparentwh-dependencies can, in principle, arise from either a movement or base-generation strategy, where Agree establishes syntactic connection latter case. The crucial diagnostics are not locality effects, but identity effects. We implement analysis using small set semantically interpretable features, together with simple universal syntax-semantics correspondence. show that parametric variation arises...
In this paper, I draw on data from prefixation in Russian to argue for a basic distinction between event structure and temporal struc- ture. present linguistic semantics of verb argument interpretation the one hand, formal semantic implementa- tion 'telicity' other, which makes sense generalisations apparently common both domains. will claim that domain embeds domain, latter con- strains former.

Visual World eye tracking is a temporally fine-grained method of monitoring attention, making it popular tool in the study online sentence processing. Recently, while infrared was mostly unavailable, various web-based experiment platforms have rapidly developed webcam functionalities, which are now urgent need testing and evaluation. We replicated recent on incremental processing verb aspect English using ‘out box’ software (jsPsych; de Leeuw, 2015) crowdsourced participants, fully both...
In this paper we will discuss cross-linguistic variation in semantic entailment patterns causative alternations. Previous work has probed issue with data from elicited judgements on paired linguistic forms, often involving negation and contradiction. We contribute to the debate form of a related psycholinguistic experiment that taps into direct truth conditions based visualized scenarios. The stimulus consisted video sequences agents causing events, task involved answering Yes-No question...
In this paper, I revisit the licensing and interpretation of instrumental case-marked nominals in Hindi/Urdu causative constructions to argue against hypothesis that se-marked phrase corresponds a demoted agent. Rather, will more unified analysis se-phrases can be achieved through an event-structural analysis, line with standard other adverbials syntax. Since ‘intermediate agent’ is only possible indirect causatives Hindi/Urdu, event structural proposed here also has...
