Continuity in discourse relations
Continuity and discontinuity (maintaining or shifting deictic centres across segments) are important aspects of discourse relations. Yet they have been attributed to these relations in very different ways. This calls for an analysis of individual instances of discourse relations with respect to their continuity dimensions. To this end, we operationalise Givón’s (1993) continuity dimensions ( time, space, reference, action, perspective, modality, …
Signalling conditional relations
We investigate how discourse relations and their subtypes are signalled, extending the set of discourse signals from connectives and lexical cue phrases to the wide range of semantic, syntactic, and orthographic signals of the RST Signalling Corpus (Das, Debopam & Maite Taboada. 2018. RST signalling corpus. Language Resources and Evaluation 52. 149–184). This extension requires re-evaluating previous predictions on discourse signalling, in partic…
Proměny pohřebních zvyklostí starší a mladší doby železné ve střední Evropě / Changes in the burial customs in the Early and Late Iron Age in Central Europe
Burial customs underwent gradual changes during the Iron Age, sometimes revealing significant upheavals occurring in the socio-spiritual sphere of the time. Both commonalities and differences between Western and Eastern Europe can be observed in the development of Iron Age burial practices. Particular attention is paid to the differences between the western and eastern parts of Central Europe, which come to the forefront in LT C2 and are probably…
Semantic Underspecification
Semantic underspecification is a technique to capture several readings of an ambiguous expression in one single representation by deliberately omitting the differences between the readings in the representation. First, underspecification formalisms will be presented to introduce underspecification in general and to outline important properties of these formalisms that allow their classification into subgroups. After expounding the kinds of ambigu…
Anti-Ikonizität an der Syntax-Semantik-Schnittstelle
The syntax-semantics interface is iconic in that it maps syntactic asymmetries (in particular, unilateral c-command) onto semantic asymmetries (scope relations). But many modification structures seem to violate this iconicity: here the modifier has (optionally or obligatorily) semantic scope over only a part of the expression that it modifies syntactically. First I will show that some well-known cases of syntax-semantics mismatch are instances of…
Beginning Novels and Finishing Hamburgers
Verbs like begin may take either a VP or an NP complement, but their meaning is pretty similar in both cases, e.g., for begin, the start of an eventuality is at stake.
Wh-questions in underspecified minimal recursion semantics
In this paper, I present Underspecified Minimal Recursion Semantics (UMRS), a representation language that represents structural ambiguities in terms of underspecification. It is argued that this kind of approach allows for transparent semantic representations and a straightforward syntax-semantics interface. UMRS is a semantic metalanguage, whose expressions describe expressions of an object language and (possibly underspecified) dependences bet…
The Intergressive as a New Category of Verbal Aktionsart
The topic of this paper are predicates like to play a sonata or to cough, whose classification in proposed systems of aknonsarten is unsatisfactory I will present an augmentation of Dowey‘s system of aknonsart to classify these predicates adequately. This revised classification employs the features ‘interval-based’ (- can be evaluated with respect to extended periods of time only), ‘bounded’ and ‘telic’. Boundedness and telicity are different fea…

Spatial Metaphors. Ancient Texts and Transformations
In presenting philological reading of spatial metaphors in ancient texts and their reception based on theoretical approaches to metaphor, this is a pioneering study which also bears testimony to the increasing interest in the potential and cognitive functions of metaphor in literary studies. The individual studies of er a representative synopsis of current theories on spatial metaphors and encompass applications to literary texts from a number of…
