Homogeneity as presuppositional exhaustification
The goal of this paper is to reconcile two observations regarding homogeneity and non-maximality. First, homogeneity is sensitive to constraints on presupposition accommodation, both in the positive case and under negation (Wehbe 2022). Second, there are asymmetries between positive and negative sentences with definite plurals (Bar-Lev 2021). We argue that taken together, these two observations support an account of homogeneity in terms of presup…
Covert reciprocals: A Scope-Based Analysis of Reciprocal Alternations
This paper argues that the class of predicates that participate in reciprocal alternations, like the seemingly 1-place predicate hug in Jane and Mary hugged , should in fact be analyzed as 2-place predicates with a covert reciprocal in object position. The main challenge for this analysis is that there are truth-conditional differences between covert reciprocals and their overt counterparts. Focusing on a few case studies, this paper will argue t…
