  • Conditional conjunctions informed by Japanese and Korean

    Magdalena Kaufmann, John WhitmanARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2022

    Many languages assign additional conditional interpretations to apparently regular sentential conjunctions (conditional conjunctions, CCs). Following previous ideas (Kaufmann, Magdalena. 2018. Topics in conditional conjunctions. Invited talk at NELS , vol. 49. Cornell University; Starr, Will. 2018. Conjoining imperatives and declaratives. Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung 21. 1159–1176), we provide additional support for the hypothesis that CCs i…

  • Glossing and Reading in Western Europe and East Asia

    Pádraic Moran, John WhitmanARTICLESpeculum2022Referências: 14

    Glossing, the practice of writing between the lines or in the margins of manuscripts, is a phenomenon that can be observed in a wide variety of historical cultures. Since the 1980s, researchers of European manuscripts have established and refined typologies to describe different varieties of glosses. There has been very little work, however, on the comparability of glossing practices between Europe and other cultural spheres. This paper focuses o…

  • On the Significance of the Glosses in Vietnamese Classical Chinese Texts

    Kosukegawa Teiji, John WhitmanARTICLEJournal of Vietnamese Studies2018

    Vernacular reading—reading Classical Chinese texts in the local vernacular—was practiced throughout the Sinosphere, everywhere people adopted Chinese characters to write and read. Recent research indicates that it took place in Vietnam as well. In this paper, we introduce the variant of this practice found in Japan: kanbun kundoku (漢文訓讀). We then use the extensive documentation of the annotation, glossing, and punctuation of texts in Japan and Ch…

  • Topic Prominence

    Open AccessWillow Paul, Waltraud Paul et al.OTHERThe Wiley Blackwell Companion to…2017

    We assimilate the typological feature of topic prominence to established treatments of the left periphery. East Asian languages grouped together as topic‐prominent turn out to display important differences. In Japanese and Korean, the A‐domain extends higher than in Chinese, to include a fused FocusP/FiniteP projection. Descriptive properties sometimes associated with topic prominence include (1) obligatoriness of topics, (2) null topics, (3) ove…

  • Uncertainty in processing relative clauses across East Asian languages

    Open AccessJiwon Yun, Ji‐won Yun et al.ARTICLEJournal of East Asian Linguistics2015

    The processing difficulty profile for relative clauses in Chinese, Japanese and Korean represents a challenge for theories of human parsing. We address this challenge using a grammar-based complexity metric, one that reflects a minimalist analysis of relative clauses for all three languages as well as structure-dependent corpus distributions. Together, these define a comprehender’s degree of uncertainty at each point in a sentence. We use this id…

  • Grammatical ChangeOrigins, Nature, Outcomes

    Dianne Jonas, John Whitman et al.BOOKGrammatical change2011

    This book advances research on grammatical change and shows the breadth and liveliness of the field. Leading international scholars report and reflect on the latest research into the nature and outcomes of all aspects of syntactic change including grammaticalization, variation, complementation, syntactic movement, determiner-phrase syntax, pronominal systems, case systems, negation, and alignment. The chapters deploy a variety of generative frame…

  • Applicative structure and Mandarin ditransitives

    Willow Paul, John WhitmanCHAPTERArgument structure and syntactic…2010

    We argue that applicative heads always appear above the lexical VP, regardless of the semantics of the construction. Thematic Applicatives select a nominal expression and a VP as argument, parallel to Pylkkänen’s (2008) “high” applicatives. The applied argument is merged in Spec, ApplP and receives a role such as beneficiary. Raising Applicatives appear in the same position above the lexical VP, but do not select an underlying nominal argument. I…
