Exclamation, epistemic assertion and interlocutor’s subjectivity
This commentary expands and tries to improve on the use of embedded exclamations to clarify what it means for exclamations to be assertive and draw further conclusions on the nature of the subjectivity and emotivity that everyone admits that exclamations convey. Although much attention was paid to emotive embedding, considering its coexistence with epistemic embedding and the actual prevalence thereof clarifies the way the multiple layers of excl…
Conceptions of Time in Greek and Roman Antiquity
This collection of articles is an important milestone in the history of the study of time conceptions in Greek and Roman Antiquity. It spans from Homer to Neoplatonism. Conceptions of time are considered from different points of view and sources. Reflections on time were both central and various throughout the history of ancient philosophy. Time was a topic, but also material for poets, historians and doctors. Importantly, the contributions also …
Wh‐Interrogatives In Ancient Greek Disentangling Focus‐ And Wh‐Movement
This article explores the problem of information structure in ancient Greek direct constituent questions from the perspective of wh ‐placement. It begins with the observation that wh ‐items are intrinsically focused and that typologically, wh ‐placement is predictable based on the focusing properties in some languages, such as Indonesian ( in situ strategy) and Basque or Hungarian (focus position strategy), but not in others, such as English (spe…
The Syntax and Semantics of Wh-Clauses in Classical Greek
Adapting tools recently developed in general linguistics and dwelling on a solid corpus study, this book offers the first comprehensive view on Classical Greek wh-clauses since Monteil (1963) and scrutinizes how wh-items (ὅς, ὅστις, τίς) distribute across the different clause types. False ideas are discarded (e.g., there are no τίς relative clauses, ὅστις does not take over ὅς' functions). This essay furthermore teases apart actual neutralization…
Exclusivity! Wh-fronting is not optional wh-movement in Colloquial French
This article revisits the long-standing issue of the alternation between wh-in-situ and wh-ex-situ questions in French in the light of diglossia and cross-linguistic data. A careful preliminary examination of the numerous wh -structures in Metropolitan French leads us to focus on Colloquial French, which undoubtedly displays both wh-in-situ and wh-ex-situ questions. Within this dataset, wh-ex-situ questions without the est-ce que ‘is it that’ mar…
Revisiting unselected embedded questions in the light of Classical Greek wh-clauses
This paper addresses the issue of the questions embedded under predicates normally selecting for propositions like know (unselected embedded questions UEQ). This problem was handled in Adger and Quer (Adger, David & Josep Quer. 2001. The syntax and semantics of unselected embedded questions. Language 77. 107–133) and Öhl (Öhl, Peter. 2007. Unselected embedded interrogatives in German and English : S-selection as dependency formation. Linguistisch…
Stratégies de topicalisation en occitan
Alors que toutes les langues romanes connaissent les deux types de topicalisation à gauche : le topique suspendu (HT, dans les propositions principales) et la dislocation gauche (LD, dans les propositions principales et les subordonnées), quelques dialectes occitans (et peut-être quelques dialectes italiens) se distinguent en présentant aussi un topique suspendu enchâssé. Cet article met en évidence les difficultés soulevées par les analyses anté…
The Interaction between Presupposition and Focus
In this paper, we argue against the claim that exclamatives could be reducible to interrogatives in Classical Greek as sometimes claimed for English. Exclamatives are original in that they denote presupposed propositions and are headed by specific ( wh -morpheme h -) and focused wh -items. They necessarily involve degrees. We try to make sense of all these features by showing that the exclamative speech act resides in the meeting of knowledge (pr…
