So far the least growth rate known for a divergent inherent ambiguity function was logarithmic. This paper shows that for each computable divergent total non-decreasing function f : N → N there is a context-free language L with a divergent inherent ambiguity function g below f . This proves that extremely slow growing divergent inherent ambiguity functions exist. For instance there is a context...

Microaggressions are unintentional or thoughtless behaviors that convey negative messages to members of minority groups. Due to the attributional ambiguity of microaggressions, people often differ in their judgments about how morally bad acts of microaggression are. To account for this individual variation, we explored the potential influence of heavy social media use on individuals’ moral judg...

American Sign Language famously disambiguates pronoun antecedents with the use of space. In ASL, both referential and quantificational NPs can be signed at different locations (‘loci’) in the signing space. Pronouns can later retrieve these NPs by pointing at the same locus. Many analyses of ASL pronouns assume that these spatial loci are the overt realization of formal variables (Lillo-Martin ...

The scalar particle mo in Japanese gives rise to ambiguity in negative contexts. In this paper we argue that the ambiguity cannot be accounted for as a scopal ambiguity, and propose a lexical ambiguity account. In particular, we observe that the distribution of the small reading of mo is limited to a subset of NPI licensing environments, and is sensitive to presuppositions, from which we conclu...
