  • Is It Ever Okay Not to Disclose Work for Hire

    Geoffrey NunbergARTICLEInternational Journal of Speech…2010

    In the paradigm instance, the disclosure question is straightforward. The linguist prepares an expert report on some forensic linguistic issue – e.g., the degree of similarity between two names or the meaning of a word or expression – for someone who has some legal or material interest in the question. Some time later, the linguist repeats that opinion in a publication or other public forum. Is the linguist obliged to report the circumstances of …

  • Transfers of Meaning

    Geoffrey NunbergARTICLEJournal of Semantics1995

    ‘Transfers of meaning’ are linguistic mechanisms that make it possible to use the same expression to refer to disjoint sorts of things. Here I discuss predicate transfer, an operation that takes names of properties into new names that denote properties to which they functionally correspond. It is this operation that is responsible for the new meaning of the predicate parked out back in the utterance ‘I am parked out back’, as well as for the lexi…

  • Idioms

    Geoffrey Nunberg, Ivan A Sag et al.ARTICLELanguage1994Cited by: 56

    In the literature of generative grammar, idiomaticity has been widely identified with noncompositionality. Such a definition fails to recognize several important dimensions of idiomaticity, including, among others, conventionality and figuration. We propose to distinguish IDIOMATICALLY COMBINING EXPRESSIONS (e.g. take advantage, pull strings ), whose meanings-while conventional-are distributed among their parts, from IDIOMATIC PHRASES (e.g. kick …

  • Linguists and the Official Language Movement

    Geoffrey NunbergARTICLELanguage1989Cited by: 1

    The 'U.S. English' organization provides a model success story for modern entrepreneurial political movements. The group was started in 1983 as an offshoot of the restrictionist Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR); its founders were former U.S. Senator S. I. Hayakawa and FAIR founder John Tanton, a Michigan ophthalmologist with a background in the environmentalist and population control movements. Its goals were to establish English…
