Morphological change as systemically motivated bricolage
While many languages have voluntary desiderative constructions expressing the intention of an agent argument to engage in an activity or action, a few languages have dedicated impulsative constructions expressing an urge or feeling to engage in an activity or action. Hungarian has developed an impulsative construction by reanalyzing a series of individual verbal affixes associated with the morphosyntactic properties potential, conditional and agr…

Beyond caricatures: Commentary on Evans 2014 Farrell Ackerman and Robert Malouf The language myth: Why language is not an instinct. By Vyvyan Evans. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014. Pp. xi, 304. ISBN 9781107619753. $29.99. ‘In order to understand what another person is saying you must assume it is true, and try to imagine what it might be true of.’ —George Miller, quoted by Ross (1982:8) As will be familiar to a Language audience, man…

A perceptual cue constraint approach to postnasal laryngeal alternations
Symmetrical objects in Moro
This paper examines the syntactic and semantic behavior of object arguments in Moro, a Kordofanian language spoken in central Sudan. In particular, we focus on multiple object constructions (ditransitives, applicatives, and causatives) and show that these objects exhibit symmetrical syntactic behavior; e.g., any object can passivize or be realized as an object marker, and all can do so simultaneously. Moreover, we demonstrate that each object can…

Morphological Organization
Crosslinguistically, inflectional morphology exhibits a spectacular range of complexity in both the structure of individual words and the organization of systems that words participate in. We distinguish two dimensions in the analysis of morphological complexity. enumerative complexity (E-complexity) reflects the number of morphosyntactic distinctions that languages make and the strategies employed to encode them, concerning either the internal c…
Parts and wholes
Humans show an amazing ability to produce novel words based on previous experience. What analogical processes are at work in this process, and how do analogical generalizations emerge from complex morphological systems? This chapter addresses these questions with new quantitative measures. Words are construed as recombinant gestalts. The predictive value of particular words in relation to others is calculated in terms of measures of conditional e…
Taking sides
Purpose To evaluate and extend, existing natural language processing techniques into the domain of informal online political discussions. Design/methodology/approach A database of postings from a US political discussion site was collected, along with self‐reported political orientation data for the users. A variety of sentiment analysis, text classification, and social network analysis methods were applied to the postings and evaluated against th…
Maximal Consistent Subsets
Default unification operations combine strict information with information from one or more defeasible feature structures. Many such operations require finding the maximal subsets of a set of atomic constraints that are consistent with each other and with the strict feature structure, where a subset is maximally consistent with respect to the subsumption ordering if no constraint can be added to it without creating an inconsistency. Although this…
