Theories of total reconstruction have generally supposed that movement can be followed by an undoing operation like LF lowering (May 1977, 1985) or deletion higher copies (Chomsky 1993). We argue effects derived only if the original is purely phonological. There are no operations. present three distinct arguments, based on interaction between raising and wh-movement in English, facts from agreement with group terms British multiple scrambling Japanese. The arguments imply T-model correct...

Abstract I provide an overview of four current theories scalar implicature: the pragmatic (or Gricean ), lexical, a combined + and grammatical theory. The empirical focus are global local, but also intermediate implicatures. argue that theory is conceptually less well motivated than even lexical theory, therefore requires strong support. then on novel phenomenon – implicatures which provides support for conclude it seems necessary to adopt

Significance Although much research has been devoted to the acquisition of number words, relatively little is known about other expressions quantity. We propose that order quantifiers related features inherent meaning each term. Four specific dimensions and use are found capture robust similarities in similar ways across 31 languages, representing 11 language types.
It has been generally assumed that certain categories of numerical expressions, such as 'more than n', 'at least and 'fewer systematically fail to give rise scalar implicatures in unembedded declarative contexts. Various proposals have developed explain this perceived absence. In paper, we consider the relevance scale granularity implicature, make two novel predictions: first, are fact available from these expressions at appropriate level, second, attenuated if numeral previously mentioned...
This study develops a single elicitation method to test the acquisition of third-person pronominal objects in 5-year-olds for 16 languages. methodology allows us compare pronominals languages that lack object clitics ("pronoun languages") with employ relevant context ("clitic languages"), thus establishing robust cross-linguistic baseline domain clitic and pronoun production 5-year-olds. High rates are found our results, indicating children have pragmatic knowledge required select discourse...
When interpreting disjunctive sentences of the form 'A or B', young children have been reported to differ from adults in two ways. First, interpret disjunction inclusively rather than exclusively, accepting B' contexts which both A and B are true (Chierchia et al. 2001; Gualmini 2001). Second, some conjunctively, rejecting only one disjuncts is (Paris 1973; Braine & Rumain 1981; Chierchia 2004; Singh 2015). In this article, we extend investigation children's interpretation include simple...
In the present review paper by members of collaborative research center "Register: Language Users' Knowledge Situational-Functional Variation" (CRC 1412), we assess pervasiveness register phenomena across different time periods, languages, modalities, and cultures. We define "register" as recurring variation in language use depending on function social situation. Informed rich data, aim to better understand model knowledge involved situation- function-based register. order achieve this goal,...
This cross-linguistic study evaluates children's understanding of passives in 11 typologically different languages: Catalan, Cypriot Greek, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, German, Hebrew, Lithuanian, and Polish. The intends to determine whether the reported gaps between comprehension active passive short full hold cross-linguistically. present offers two major findings. first is relative ease which 5-year-old children across languages are able comprehend constructions (compared...
In several three cell paradigms, it has been observed that one logically conceivable pattern – ABA under some arrangement of cells is unattested. Existing approaches assume such *ABA generalizations provide evidence for feature inventories which are restricted to features stand in containment relations, and thus subject Pāṇinian rule order. We present a novel approach derives from general properties feature-based morphology. To this end, we develop formal account the widespread view...
