Colloquium Talk – Ginny Dawson
Rethinking classifier languages Classifier languages have long been of interest to formal semanticists. That such languages do not allow nouns to be modified directly by numerals have lead researchers to propose a significant degree of cross-linguistic variation between classifier and non-classifier languages in either noun meaning (e.g. Chierchia 1998) or numeral meaning (e.g. Krifka 1989,...

Asymmetries in (c)overt extraction from relative clauses and a linearization-based account Quantifiers usually give rise to scope ambiguity when two or more occur in the same clause: the surface scope is determined by the surface c-commanding relation between two quantificational phrases, while the inverse scope arises from some scope-shifting mechanism which does not bring phonological...
