Implicatures and Evidentiality of Because Complements at Syntax-Semantics-Pragmatics Interfaces
This paper will explain the asymmetry parallelism between node ‘because’ and toki ‘when’ in terms of the availability of Evidential Phrase in syntax, following the analysis by Chinque [1], Speas [2] and Tenny [3]. This (in)compatibility of Evidential Phrases with Adjunct Clauses is further motivated by the syntax-semantics difference of Adjunct Clauses discussed by Johnston [4].

We argue that they always adjoin to non-arguments (in recent terms this means that they can adjoin to VPs, IPs, APs and root CPs, but never to argument DPs or argument CPs), and that they do not undergo LF raising. Presenting a range ...

Each participant described a single diagram, either of a bicycle pump or a car brake or a pulley system, either with arrows indicating the operation of the device or without. When parti...
