English Relational Words, Context Sensitivity and Implicit Arguments
Let us call such words relational words and let us, following linguistic custom, call the unexpressed relata implicit arguments. The phenomenon, under various names, has been the object of study since the inception of generative linguistics. Building on the observations of Charles Fillmore (1986), Barbara Partee (1989), David Dowty (1982), Kent Bach (1994) and others, I shall show that implicit...

Despite the idiosyncratic properties of null-complement phenomena observed by Fillmore (1986), Lambrecht and Lemoine (2005), and others, many researchers have pursued large-scope, single-factor explanations of the distributional and interpretive restrictions on null complements—in particular, explanations based on Aktionsart (Rappaport Hovav and Levin 1998) and selectional restrictions (Resnik ...
متن کاملContext dependence and implicit arguments in existentials∗
This paper discusses the semantics of bare existentials, i.e. existentials in which nothing follows the post copular NP (e.g. There are four sections). While it has sometimes been recognized that the interpretation of such sentences depends in some way on context, the exact nature of the context dependence involved has not been properly understood. It is shown that the meaning of bare existenti...
متن کاملImplicit Evaluation of “auto” Variables and Arguments
Many people would expect C to be of type matrix as well. Whether C is a matrix depends on the implementation of operator∗. In the case that the operator returns a matrix then C is a matrix. For the sake of performance, computationally expensive operators very often return an Expression Template and delay the evaluation to a later point in time when it can be performed more efficiently—because w...
متن کاملThe Distribution and Comprehension of Implicit Arguments
A core question in linguistics is how expressions are built from functions and their arguments, e.g. verbs and nouns. Generally all of a function’s arguments must be pronounced. Certain arguments may remain implicit (i.e., unpronounced), but only as long as they are recoverable from prior discourse. This project investigates how this recovery procedure is similar to that of determining the ante...
