Evidentiality and Epistemic Modality in Gitksan
This chapter presents a sketch of the grammatical evidential system and related epistemic meanings in Gitksan, a critically endangered indigenous language of the Tsimshianic language family spoken in the northwest interior of Canada. A number of basic syntactic and semantic tests utilizing presupposition, negation, and dissent are applied that provide a nuanced description of the meanings of the individual evidentials. A specific feature of the G…
The Oxford Handbook of Evidentiality
Every language has a way of saying how one knows what one is talking about, and what one thinks about what one knows. In some languages, one always has to specify the information source on which it is based-whether the speaker saw the event, or heard it, or inferred it based on something seen or on common sense, or was told about it by someone else. This is the essence of evidentiality, or grammatical marking of information source-an exciting cat…
The acquisition of recursive modification in NPs
Despite sensitivity to the contextual demands of modification, children struggle with the production of complex NPs. What syntactic or semantic properties of NP embedding specifically introduce complexity? We compare production of definite descriptions with two modifiers that contrast in the attachment of the second modifier: sequential vs. recursive modification. Children (n = 71) produced overall fewer targets than adults (n = 13), but both gro…

Intergovernmental climate change mitigation policies: Theory and Outcomes
This paper develops a framework for analysing intergovernmental relationships around greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies along a cooperation-conflict spectrum that affects the probability of their enactment. Cooperative policies, such as federal fiscal transfers to sub-national governments, facilitate enactment. Coordination policies, including enabling and funding mechanisms, promote interdependence between jurisdictions. Competitive polici…

C'era stata una valletta di pasqua. Una biscia era corsa tra l'erba. La sera a buio un animale pesante volava. [...] Non ci sono pill, dicono, perche tutto sara veramente. I rospi arrancano, e la biscia decapitata, verso it Disegno. [...] Non ci sono pill, invece dicono a1tri, perche niente sara. Dopo i1mitragliamento, la bestia si strascico suI ventre fino al fossato. Ai primi decibel del mattirio i1 serpe mozzo ha finito di divincolarsi. Verso …
