Core concepts and indirect alternatives: On the anti-duality of quantifiers
This paper proposes an analysis for the long-standing puzzle observed by Chemla (2007) regarding the anti-duality of the French universal quantifier tous, which arises even though French has no word for ‘both’ to feed a Maximize Presupposition competition. This phenomenon has been cited as an example in language where a dual ‘conceptual alternative’ is at play (Buccola et al., 2018), but no formal account of it has been put forth. Furthermore, a …
Meet & Make CleaR PROCESS: A new framework for sharing serious information
INTRODUCTION: Sharing serious information (SSI) is a critical communication skill for physicians. Existing frameworks vary in their teaching and application, and many physicians desire better training. This study aimed to develop a theory-informed framework and cognitive aid for sharing serious information (SSI) through a multiphased development process involving a systematic review and expert focus groups. METHOD: A multiphased approach was used…
Sì and no: How Italian children and adults answer positive and negative polar questions
There is cross-linguistic variation in the strategies languages use to answer polar questions. Specifically, languages differ in the type of answers that can be produced: only a response particle, only a continuation, or a combination of both. Among languages that allow response particles, there is further variation in how these are used to answer negative polar questions. In Positive-Negative languages, which Italian has been claimed to belong t…
Is DP conjunction always complex? The view from child Georgian and Hungarian
Mitrović & Sauerland (2014, 2016) claim that, across languages, DP-conjunction decomposes into [JP [MuP [DP1 ⟳] MU] [J’ J [MuP [DP2 ⟳] MU]]]. Their account, when combined with the independently motivated assumption that children better comprehend utterances which display a greater degree of 1-to-1 mapping between form and meaning (van Hout 2008, Guasti et al. 2023: a.o.), predicts that sentences where only J or MU are pronounced should be harder …
Interrogative particles in polar questions: The view from Finnish and Turkish
The strategy used for forming polar questions varies across languages. While in some languages, polar questions are formed using a raising intonation, in others, polar questions are formed using an interrogative particle. This paper focuses on a type of interrogative particles which has not received much attention in the semantic literature. I call these particles polar interrogative particles. On the empirical side, I identify the signature prop…
Negative Concord without Agree: Insights from German, Dutch and English Child Language
Children acquiring a non-negative concord language like English or German have been found to consistently interpret sentences with two negative elements in a negative concord manner as conveying a single semantic negation. Corpus-based investigations for English and German show that children also produce sentences with two negative elements but only a single negation meaning. As any approach to negative concord and negative indefinites needs to a…
