The model theoretic tradition in semantic analysis maintains that determiners denote functions from properties to sets of properties, where in an extensional model a property is a set of individuals. For a determiner d and properties p and q I write ‘d(p,q)’ for ‘[d(p)](q)’ and refer to p as d’s ‘restrictor’ and to q as its ‘nuclear scope’. Barwise and Cooper (1981) and Keenan and Stavi (1986) ...

Let us begin by noting that many determiners in Hebrew, and numerals in particular, have two forms which seem to be derived from each other by the same rule that derives heads of construct-state (CS) nominals ( ̇ÂÎÈÓÒ) from the basic form of the noun; I will refer to these two forms as the “basic” and “derived” forms. This is illustrated for determiners (numerals in this case) and for nouns in t...

The absence of negative universal determiners in natural languages expressing “not all” has given rise to various speculations, ranging from an innate principle of grammar to blocking on the basis of pragmatic principles. After arguing that these proposals are flawed, I propose that there are no general principles standing in the way of such determiners, but that the two main processes which di...

categories or limited-scope formulae? The case of children’s determiners*

Much literature in syntax has assumed that all noun phrases are categorically headed by the determiner or the noun, with well-formedness categorial in nature. In this paper I develop a theory of noun phrase structure in which both categories project noun phrases, arguing that this better fits the indeterminacy of the criteria often cited for determining headedness (Zwicky, 1985, inter alia). Th...

ABSTRACTSix tests of the spontaneous speech of twenty-one English-speaking children (1 ; 10 to 2 ; 8; MLUs 1.53 to 4.38) demonstrate the presence of the syntactic category determiner from the start of combinatorial speech, supporting nativist accounts. Children use multiple determiners before a noun to the same extent as their mothers (1) when only a and the or (2) all determiners are analyzed,...

This paper presents a specific part of HUGG, a generation grammar for Hebrew. This part deals with determiners and quantifiers. Our main goal is to determine which set of features must be present in the input to the generation grammar to control the generation of complex determiners and quantifiers. Hebrew determiners are characterized by two properties: (1) definiteness is marked in several pl...
