Complement Clauses and Expletives
Complement clauses in Dutch may appear in either extraposed or fronted position. An extraposed clause may cooccur with an expletive element het (it), but this element is never present if the complement clause is fronted. In this paperwe investigate howwemay account for this asymmetry in a nontransformational framework such as HPSG. In Dutch subordinate clauses, complement clauses always appear ...
متن کاملSemantic Effects of Focus on Modifiers in Complement Clauses∗
We investigate the semantic effects of focus in complement clauses of various kinds of complement-taking predicates and argue that the empirically attested readings are predicted by the interplay of two principles: (i) embedded focus locally triggers the presupposition that the existential closure of the background is true, (ii) embedding predicates differ in their presupposition projection pro...
متن کاملFirst Class Messages as First Class Continuations
First class messages, which we call message continuations, provide object-oriented concurrent programming languages with extensibility in modeling and programming communication schemes such as asynchronous communication, multicasting, sophisticated synchronization constraints, interobject synchronization, concurrency control, resource management, and so on. In spite of its powerful extensibilit...
متن کاملThe phonetic design of turn endings, beginnings, and continuations in conversation
This thesis presents a series of exploratory studies of how participants engaged in everyday conversation utilise linguistic resources in managing entry to and exit from talk. For each study a data-set is constructed from audio recordings of telephone calls; this data-set is then analysed in terms of interactional organisation and linguistic design. Analysis of interactional aspects of the talk...
متن کاملPartial Continuations as the Difference of Continuations - A Duumvirate of Control Operators
We de ne a partial continuation as the di erence of two continua tions We exhibit in a single framework several design choices and their impact on semantics The ability of partial continuations to manipulate stack frames blurs the nature of dynamic extent therefore we introduce a new concept of pre xal extent that characterises the time during which a partial continu ation can be rei ed We prop...
