  • Tense in Adjuncts Part 1: Relative Clauses

    Open AccessArnim Von Stechow, Atle GrønnARTICLELanguage and Linguistics Compass2013Cited by: 4References: 5

    Part 1 of Tense in Adjuncts presents a compositional analysis of tense in relative clauses (RCs). The languages under investigation are English, Russian, and Japanese. We introduce the syntax and semantics of tense and the theory of feature transmission under variable binding, which mediates between syntax/semantics and morphology. In sequence of tense languages such as English, the morphology of the tense in a RC will be licensed by a non-local …

  • Tense in Adjuncts Part 2: Temporal Adverbial Clauses

    Open AccessArnim Von Stechow, Atle GrønnARTICLELanguage and Linguistics Compass2013Cited by: 7References: 10

    Part 1 of this article treats tense in relative clauses in English, Russian and Japanese. The temporal center in relative clauses can always be anaphoric, and sometimes it has to be the anaphoric Tpro. In Part 2, we investigate tense in temporal adverbial clauses (TACs) headed by 'after', 'before' and 'when'. We argue for the following points: 1. English TAC Tense is bound in Present adjuncts under matrix 'will', in other constructions the TAC Te…

  • Complement Tense in Contrast: The SOT parameter in Russian and English

    Open AccessAtle Grønn, Arnim Von StechowARTICLEOslo Studies in Language2010Cited by: 2

    In an SOT-language like English, ‘past under past’ may have a simultaneous interpretation, i.e., we have temporal agreement. In a non-SOT language like Russian, we only have the shifted interpretation. In English, the temporal morphology of the embedded verb is determined by the matrix tense via a binding chain through verbal quantifiers such as ‘say’ or ‘think’. In Russian, these attitude verbs break the binding chain. The morphology of the embe…

  • The temporal degree adjectives früh(er)/spät(er) ‘early(er)’/’late(r)’ and the semantics of the positive

    Arnim Von StechowCHAPTERQuantification, definiteness, and…2009

    There is a rich literature about the temporal conjunctions before/after, but at the time I gave the talk that underlies this chapter I was not aware of any analysis of the temporal comparatives früher/später ‘earlier/later’, which may be used to express similar states of affairs, but are constructed differently.

  • Pluractional Adverbials

    Beck, S Beck et al.ARTICLEJournal of Semantics2007

    This paper investigates the semantics of adverbials like ‘page by page’ and ‘stone upon stone’. An analysis is developed in which sentences containing such adverbials have a pluractional semantics; that is, pluralization affects simultaneously the event- and the individual-argument slot of a predicate. Sternefeld's (1998) system of plural operators is used and extended for this purpose. The adverbial constrains the relation that is pluralized and…

  • Dog after dog revisited

    Open AccessBeck, Sigrid Beck et al.ARTICLEZAS Papers in Linguistics2006

    This paper presents a compositional semantic analysis of pluractional adverbial modifiers like 'dog after dog' and 'one dog after the other'. We propose a division of labour according to which much of the semantics is carried by a family of plural operators. The adverbial itself contributes a semantics that we call pseudoreciprocal

  • Wh-Scope Marking

    Uli Lutz, Gereon Müller et al.BOOKWh-Scope Marking2000

    This volume is the first comprehensive overview of the syntax and semantics of wh-scope marking. Wh-scope marking constructions have recently received a lot of attention; their very existence and their intricate properties have important consequences for syntax, semantics, and the syntax–semantics interface (e.g., with respect to the wh-criterion, the wh-movement parameter, feature checking, the theory of locality, the interpretation of wh-phrase…

  • How are results represented and modified? Remarks on Jäger & Blutner's anti-decomposition

    Open AccessArnim Von StechowARTICLEZAS Papers in Linguistics2000

    The paper investigates a recent proposal to resultativity by G. Jäger and R. Blutner (J&B). J&B say that the representation of result states of accomplishments by means of CAUSE and BECOME is not correct and should not be done in the syntax in terms of decomposition. They develop an axiomatic approach where each accomplishment/achievement is related to its result by a particular axiom. Modification of the result by "again" makes use of these axio…

  • The different readings of wieder 'again': A structural account

    Arnim Von StechowARTICLEJournal of Semantics1996

    I will defend a purely structural account of the different readings arising from the German adverb wieder ‘again’. We will be concerned with the so-called repeave/resritutive ambiguity. The claim is that the ambiguity can be resolved entirely in terms of syntactic scope The theory assumes a rather abstract syntax. In particular, abundant use is made of Kratzer's (1994) voice phrase, which plays a central role for the derivation of repetitive read…

    During the past 20 years the investigation into meaning of natural languages has emerged into one of the most active disciplines in theoretical linguistics. The different traditions of linguistics, philosophy of language and philosophical logic converged in the paradigm of truth conditional semantics, which now plays a central role in the cognitive sciences. From empirical research in particular languages more principal questions arise of how the…
