Adjectival and Adverbial Modification: The View from Modern Type Theories

Investigating cross - linguistic constraints on adjectival and adverbial

Combinatorial constraints are commonly assumed in linguistics to be either based on the grammatical system of a language or to be idiosyncratic constraints on the combinatorial properties of individual lexical items and not extensible in any systematic way to larger subsets of the vocabulary.

Individuation Criteria, Dot-types and Copredication: A View from Modern Type Theories

In this paper we revisit the issue of copredication from the perspective of modern type theories. Specifically, we look at: a) the counting properties of dot-types, and b) the case of a complex dot-type that has remained unsolved in the literature, i.e. that of newspaper. As regards a), we show that the account proposed in (Luo, 2010) for dot-types makes the correct predictions as regards count...
