The opening shot looks down into the valley. We see snow-capped mountains in the distance and verdant fields before us. A horse and rider come into the scene from off camera, moving into the valley. We see first the horse as it rides away, bringing into view the rider whom we see only from the back. The shot then changes as the credits are imposed on a wide view of the valley stretched before u...

This paper presents an account of parasitic gaps in Synchronous TAG, making use of the more flexible semantic derivations that derive from the proposal in Frank and Storoshenko (2012) to add separate scope components to all predicates. We model parasitic gaps as deriving from a TAG analog of sidewards movement (Nunes, 2004), where the licensing wh-phrase combines first with the domain containin...

Collaboration enables multiple actors with different objectives to work together and achieve a goal beyond individual capabilities. However, strategic uncertainty from partners' actions introduces potential for losses under failed collaboration relative pursuing an independent system. The fundamental tradeoff between high-value but uncertain outcomes collaborative systems lower-value more certa...
