This paper discusses a set of observations, many of which are novel, concerning differences between the adjectival modals certain and possible and their adverbial counterparts certainly and possibly. It argues that the observations can be derived from a standard interpretation of certain/certainly a ...

Forms of address must be pronominal in English but can be either pronominal or nominal in Vietnamese. I propose to analyze this fact as a parametric difference: the two languages choose different ways to implement one and the same general preference principle. This principle is Rule I, which favors ...

logicality;grammar;trivialities;wittgenstein;tractatus;
I argue that there is tension in Wittgenstein’s position on trivialities (i.e. tautologies and contradictions) in the Tractatus, as it contains the following claims: (A) sentences are pictures; (B) trivialties are not pictures; (C) rivialities are sentences. A and B follow from the “picture theory” ...

Oznake:
exceptives;cardinality;alternatives;
There are two schools of thoughts on exceptives. The "Fintelians" take exceptives to be modifiers of the NP argument of the determiner, while the "Anti-Fintelians" take them to be something else. I present the observation that exceptives do not tolerate cardinal determiners. I then discuss the probl ...

Oznake:
questions;speech acts;recursion;performative hypothesis;
I present novel observations about iterated questions, i.e. questions about questions, and propose an analysis. The conclusions I argue for are the following: (i) speech acts are represented in the grammar; (ii) speech act recursion is possible but is limited to at most two levels; (ii) declarative ...

Oznake:
linearization;remnant movement;incomplete category fronting;German;
The theory of chain linearization I propose in a number of works predicts a typology in which German would exemplify a type of language in which some cases of incomplete category fronting do not involve VP remnant movement. This is precisely what Gisbert Fanselow argues for in one of his papers. In ...

Oznake:
NPI;questions;bias;modals;
There is general agreement that the distribution of "any" is unrestricted in polar questions. I argue that this is not the case: in contexts where there is epistemic bias in favor of the prejacent of a polar question, the question exhibits the same behavior as a declarative with respect to the licen ...

Oznake:
modality;exhaustification;innocent inclusion;cell identification;
The derivation of strengthened meanings as proposed by Bar-Lev and Fox (2017, 2020) and the derivation of modal domains as proposed by Kratzer (1977, 1981, 1991) both involve an “inclusion” step of assigning true to as many propositions in a given set as possible. In the case of strengthened meaning ...

Oznake:
Wittgenstein;grammar;pictures;logicality;
Wittgenstein’s picture theory of language (PTL) unites grammar and logic as two sides of the same coin. A consequence of this theory, which Wittgenstein refuses to accept, is that trivialities are ill-formed. This turns out to be precisely what is claimed by Logicality, a recently developed thesis a ...
