DP Structure and Flexible Semantics
نویسنده
چکیده
Two general paradigms have influenced the study of nominals since the middle eighties. According to the syntactic DP hypothesis of Abney (1987), the syntactic unit that had formerly been known as noun phrase should in fact be analyzed as a phrase headed by a determiner, hence the label DP. Figure 1 gives a simple version of the DP hypothesis, without deciding here about the category of the specifier.

On Some Problems of (In)definiteness within Flexible Semantics
This paper studies the ramifications of the flexible semantics in Winter (2001) for the analysis of some of the facts in ”the core set” for this special issue. Within this framework, it argues (i) for a general ”anti-economy” principle in the application of choice functions to (non-)specificity markers; (ii) for DP structure as the main trigger of different scope potentials; (iii) for lexical s...
متن کاملFriends and colleagues: Plurality, coordination, and the structure of DP
Starting from an analysis for the diverging crosslinguistic grammaticality of DP-internal conjunctions such as this [man and woman] are in love, the article develops a theory of the syntax/semantics interface within the DP and a novel proposal for the interpretation of conjunction. The main claims are that plural/mass denotations are built in stages within the DP, by the combined effect of numb...
متن کاملA duality between LM-fuzzy possibility computations and their logical semantics
Let X be a dcpo and let L be a complete lattice. The family σL(X) of all Scott continuous mappings from X to L is a complete lattice under pointwise order, we call it the L-fuzzy Scott structure on X. Let E be a dcpo. A mapping g : σL(E) −> M is called an LM-fuzzy possibility valuation of E if it preserves arbitrary unions. Denote by πLM(E) the set of all LM-fuzzy possibility valuations of E. T...
متن کاملReverse Engineering of Network Software Binary Codes for Identification of Syntax and Semantics of Protocol Messages
Reverse engineering of network applications especially from the security point of view is of high importance and interest. Many network applications use proprietary protocols which specifications are not publicly available. Reverse engineering of such applications could provide us with vital information to understand their embedded unknown protocols. This could facilitate many tasks including d...
متن کاملA Discourse Analysis of “The Prince and His Companions” in Kelileh and Demneh Based On Semio-Semantics
Despite showing an overtly simple structure, the semantic process in classic literary-narrative discourse conforms to complicated semiotic systems. As a result, semio-semantics is deemed as one of the most scientific, reliable tools since it helps intradiscursive semio-textual propositions be phenomenologically, and even epistemologically, analyzed. Consequently, the narrative discourse in “The...
