Do experiences influence gender representations elicited by the gender star form?
Readers associate the generic masculine (e.g., in German, die Zuschauer , for a gender-mixed group) more with men, whereas they associate the German gender star form (e.g., die Zuschauer*innen ) more with women. However, the stability or malleability of these gender biases is unclear. In the present study ( N = 272 ), we examined whether increasing the salience of the gender star form’s inclusiveness (by anaphoric references to an equal number of…
Modal particles in ironic utterances
This study contributes to theorizing about the semantic characteristics of verbal irony. Specifically, we investigate the function of the modal particles ja (lit. ‘yes’) and aber (lit. ‘but’) that often occur in ironic utterances in German, cf. Das war aber ein aufregender Film (‘That was prt a thrilling movie’). Our main claim is that modal particles are used in ironic utterances to reflect the speaker’s intention to pretend surprise and produce…
Early ERP indices of gender-biased processing elicited by generic masculine role nouns and the feminine–masculine pair form
Quotation marks and the processing of irony in English
Quotation marks are used for different purposes in language, one of which is to signal that something has to be interpreted in an ironic way, as in the utterance What a "nice" day! said on a rainy and cold day. The present contribution describes a reading time experiment in which we analyzed the processing and understanding of ironic written sentences with or without quotation marks and asked whether and how these marks affect the subjects' readi…
Quotation as an interface phenomenon
In this introduction, we outline the notion of quotation and shed light on the question of how quotations and the different readings quotations adopt can be theoretically implemented with a particular focus on the semantic-pragmatic interface. We then present the individual contributions to this special issue and how they contribute new observations from various theoretical angles to the general issues revolving around the topic of quotation as a…
‘Well, that’s just great!’
This study contributes to the ongoing debate about the informational status of attitudinal content with a focus on verbal irony. Specifically, we investigate where the different meaning components involved in ironic utterances are positioned in the dichotomy between primary and secondary content of utterances. After an analysis of the semantic and pragmatic characteristics of ironic meaning components and their linguistic expression, we show, bas…
Do We Pronounce Quotation? An Analysis of Name-informing and Non-name-informing Contexts
Quotation marks are a tool to refer to the linguistic form of an expression. For instance, in cases of so-called pure quotation as in “Hanover” has three syllables, they point to the syllabic characteristics of the name of the town of Hanover. Cases of this nature differ from sentences like Hanover is a town in New Hampshire, in which Hanover is used denotationally and, thus, refers to the town of Hanover itself. Apart from quotation marks, other…
How real are adjective order constraints? Multiple prenominal adjectives at the grammatical interfaces
Adjective order restrictions on attributive adjectives (AORs) have been subject to debate in modern linguistic research for a long time. Most generally, the question whether AORs can be located in grammar as such in rule-based fashion is still unsettled. In the current paper, we largely argue against this view and claim that several of the core data to be explained are preferences based on norms rather than rules. A pragmatic explanation is offer…
Name-informing and distancing sogenannt ‘so-called’
This paper aims at a unified analysis of the different interpretations which constructions involving the German name-mentioning modifier sogenannt ‘so-called’ can adopt. In contrast to nouns like Sepsis ‘sepsis’, a noun like Hotel ‘hotel’, as in sogenanntes Hotel , gives rise to a “distanced” interpretation of the construction rather than one informing about a concept’s name. After a thorough investigation of the lexical-semantic properties, we p…
Conceptual and grammatical characteristics of argument alternations
In this paper the grammatical and conceptual properties of decausative verbs of the type The plate broke are explored from the viewpoint of a model of language production that systematically upholds the distinction between grammatical and extralinguistic information.In the constructions under consideration, an agentive entity -just like in passives -is suppressed by grammatical means.The first part of the paper centers around the question of whet…
