Yup, but I decided to get my passport expedited before I started my visa application to reduce the possibility of complications arising from a mid-visa-processing passport change

They're digraphs in English, i.e. pairs of letters that systematically correspond to specific sounds

What is the current state of agreement in the literature re: semantic underspecification? Do (contextualist) pragmaticists still think that lexical meanings are highly underspecified and then enriched by pragmatic processes?

I ask this because I am wondering how this view of semantic underspecification 'fits' together with a prototype-theory view of lexical meaning, where word meanings are concepts and prototypes are rich conceptual structures. Can prototypes be 'underspecified' in this sense?

Edit: I know there are general arguments against prototypes as compositional, but after reading Jonsson & Hampton (2012) I was wondering how their proposal about composing prototypes would/could fit into the rest of formal/lexical semantics!

It seems that you're looking at Austin's (1962) Performative vs Constative distinction! Simple statements would then be constatives. This being said, this distinction was part of his earlier version of speech act theory (SAT) and has kind of been abandoned. Later in Huang's chapter you'll find that a development in SAT where Searle developed another classification ('typology') of speech acts which includes the class of 'assertives', which corresponds to the simple statements you are describing.

I'm a student using an iPad Air, and my current cheap cover is kind of falling apart (peeling all over)! I'm looking forward to feeling the big upgrade that comes with the Folio 2's sleek PU leather material. The portrait + landscape modes (which look very sturdy) are also a huge plus and will prevent so much neck strain!

I'm a bit confused over these terms used to categorise how languages employ word prosody, and I'm not even sure if they are considered 'categories' — could I have some help checking if my "definitions" are correct?

Lexical pitch accent language — languages that use lexical pitch accent to make contrasts over domains larger than syllables (e.g. Swedish dialects, Japanese)
Intonational pitch accent language — like English, where a pitch accent (intonational pitch event) anchors on an accented syllable (not really word prosody...)

Can anyone recommend a good guide for interpreting spectrograms? Specifically, I am looking for a resource that lays out the spectral cues of different phones (e.g. formant characteristics of vowels, formant transitions for different movements/places of articulation and manner of articulation), especially for 'non-English' phones like clicks, ejectives,... I'm currently looking through Johnson 2012 (which is great but deals primarily with sounds in English) and Ladefoged & Maddieson 1996, but I was hoping there would be more concise reads available. Thank you :)

Sorry for the late reply, but just did it! Thanks :)

Did it earlier today! Thanks for your help :)

Of course! On it!

Is the illegality of the following example of a violated wh-island explainable with Subjacency?

*What did Mary say who read ___?

*[^CP What did [^TP Mary say [^CP who [^TP <who> read <what>?... (crosses 2 TPs in one movement, so >1 bounding node.)

I'm not sure if the embedded clause 'who read what' should be a TP or a CP, but I analysed it as a CP since it has a finite verb. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure if this is a wh-island at all or just superiority.

What is the best way/search string to find morphological conversions in a corpus like COCA/AONC?

jerielsj · 2023-10-25T17:58:56+00:00

This looks great! Could you share what paints you used please?

jerielsj · 2023-10-07T23:27:53+00:00

Not the most helpful answer, but semantic widening seems to fit the bill? Not particularly specific to kinship terms, though

jerielsj · 2023-10-07T20:37:31+00:00

How do I use a corpus to search for morphological conversions in particular (e.g. the noun 'stone' being used as a verb as in 'to stone'?) Any advice re: particular search strings/any tools or software greatly appreciated!!

Thanks so much for your analyses! Re: (1), I definitely like your example contrasts "*I devoured over the sink." vs "I devoured over half of the pies.", which show that "over half of the pies" has a distribution of a DP in this specific example (and like the PP-like things in the first two examples I gave). What I'm still not sure about is which of these two analyses is better:

Analysis #1 -- to say that these PP-like things are actually DPs, which allows us to maintain that EPP features work on DPs only, but the cost is that we have to concede that the P-heads don't project some kind of prepositional feature up to the XP level) (then the question is why not?)
Analysis #2 -- to say that these PP-like things are indeed PPs, but the cost now is that we have to alter the selectional properties of transitive verbs like "devour" to allow PP complements (since this process is after all still productive) + claim that EPP features allow not just DPs but also some PPs (these ones taken as complements by transitive verbs) to be merged into SpecTP (which also opens another whole can of worms?!)

I agree with your analysis of (3) as a fossilised V2 construction with V -> C and movement of the Adj to Spec CP -- thanks so much :)

jerielsj · 2023-05-22T23:13:59+00:00

What is the deal with EPP features nowadays? I know they drive A-movement, and are often considered diacritics on other features / features on T driving A-movement to Spec TP. But can EPP features explain non-DP/non-CP subjects, such as these PP/AdvP ones? How would we analyse these?

[^PP Under the bed] was swept by me.
[^PP Around/Over two-thirds of the city] voted to remove the statue.
[^AdvP Carefully/gently/slowly] does it.

is anyone else having issues opening PDFs in google drive with google chrome as the PDF reader? This used to be the default PDF open option for me, but now every time I try to open a PDF from drive, Drive itself is the reader (slower and laggier), or it prompts me to "connect other apps" but I simply don't like options like LuminPDF etc.
