On the overlapping discourse functions of Spanish ‘cómo que’ and French ‘comment ça’ interrogatives
We present evidence for an overlap in the discourse functions of Spanish cómo que XP ‘how that complementizer ’ and French comment ça ∅/XP ‘how that demonstrative ’ interrogatives. We argue for three shared discourse functions: clarification requests, mirative questions, and expressions of disagreement. We show that these functions are cued by an interplay of morpho-syntactic and contextual factors. At the morpho-syntactic level, whether grammati…
French questions alternating between a reason and a manner interpretation
The French wh -word comment ’how’ may be used with a reason interpretation, that is in a question that inquires about how the situation described by the proposition that follows comment (the pseudo-prejacent ) might occur or have occurred, which goes against the expectations of the speaker. In this paper, we report on a rating study whose goal was to understand the extent to which reason- comment questions – compared to manner- comment questions …
The Information-Structural Status of Adjuncts
In this paper we present an analysis of the information structural properties of different types of verb and sentence modifying adjuncts under a QUD (question under discussion) approach. Our study is based on naturalistic data from English, French and German containing adjuncts such as temporal, spatial, or manner prepositional phrases, as well as different types of adverbial clauses. The analysis relies on the approach by Riester et al. (2018), …
Bridging Strength, Monotonicity, and Word Order Choices in Catalan
Three experimental studies are presented testing the choice of a left or a right dislocation in Catalan, depending on the bridging relation between the dislocate and its antecedent. We make the hypothesis that the stronger the anaphoric link between the dislocate and its antecedent, the more appropriate a right dislocation is, whereas the opposite is true for left dislocation. The results of two acceptability judgment experiments partially suppor…
