Scare quotes as deontic modals
The aim of this article is to propose a formal semantic account of scare quotation (SQ). I present data showing that SQ, though flexible, is subject to regular and so far largely unnoticed limitations following from the infelicitous use of irony as well as the division between at-issue and not-at-issue content parts. While these effects can hardly be accounted for by assuming that the ironic aspect of SQ involves negation, they are in harmony wit…
Light heads and predicate formation: On two scopes of discontinuity
The present article addresses the problem of syntax-semantics mapping of syntactically complex structures that are interpreted as semantically simple terms. While these morphosyntactic mechanisms have been successfully applied to roots in Marantz’s framework, more complex structures turn out to be formally and conceptually challenging. To solve these problems, I make use of Cooper’s type-theoretic framework to propose a formal account of Transfer…
Morfemy a wyrazy sinojapońskie
Celem niniejszej pracy jest podjęcie dyskusji nad morfologicznym statusem sinojapońskich morfemów japońszczyzny. Analizie zostaje poddany przede wszystkim typ ich łączliwości z innymi jednostkami. Podjęta zostaje także polemika z tradycyjnym opisem japońskim ze wskazaniem różnic między afiksami a zwykłymi morfemami słowotwórczym. Problem ten okazuje się szczególnie niebanalny, jeśli na omawiane tu jednostki spojrzeć z punktu widzenia wielosystemo…
Dziurawiąc cytat: Problem zmiennych w wyrażeniach mowy niezależnej
Niniejszy tekst podejmuje dyskusję nad specjalnym typem fraz, które, choć pojawiają się w wyrażeniach cytacyjnych, nie stanowią fragmentów cytowanej wypowiedzi. Frazy tego typu wprowadzają jednak zmienne sygnalizujące brakujące człony wypowiedzi źródłowej. Przedstawiona analiza ukazuje pewien ciekawy problem: wypowiedzi cytacyjne zachowują się jednocześnie jak jednostki semantycznie proste i złożone, co stanowi istotny problem dla analizy formaln…
Hate Speech and the Polarization of Japanese National Newspapers
In 2016, the first anti-hate speech law in Japan was introduced against the backdrop of verbal attacks on ethnic Koreans who were targeted with particular force by radical right organizations in the early 21st century. We argue that while the role of social media in the proliferation of hate speech in Japan has received considerable attention, the coverage of hate speech and related issues in mainstream news media has not been sufficiently studie…
Quotation as a challenge for feature-driven phases: An argument for Zwart’s merge
The present paper discusses the problem of deriving quotational expressions (QEs)–a relatively unexplored field in the generative tradition–in the context of phase theory (PT). QEs are taken to be built within Narrow Syntax. While this fact is empirically well-motivated, it turns out to be conceptually problematic for cyclic derivations driven by feature makeup. Empirical data show that QEs represent a unique mixture of conflicting properties. On…
