Grammar of Anti-Exhaustivity
In this presentation, I present an analysis of Japanese Contrastive Topics (CTs), which are known to elicit semantic/pragmatic effects of uncertainty, non-finality and/or incompleteness. The proposed analysis is based on the following facts. (I) A CT in Japanese receives focal accent and can be the lone focalized element in a sentence, contrary to Rise-Fall contour in German (cf. Büring 1997, 2...
متن کاملAcquisition of exhaustivity in wh-questions: A semantic dimension of SLI?
This paper investigates how exhaustivity in single and multiple wh-questions is acquired in German-speaking children with SLI. Comparing semantic and pragmatic accounts of exhaustivity, obligatory exhaustivity of multiple wh-questions is argued to be problematic for pragmatic approaches. Thus, a unified semantic approach is suggested$chosen that relates exhaustivity to an inherent property of t...
متن کاملOn the exhaustivity of simplicial partitioning
During the last 40 years, simplicial partitioning has shown itself to be highly useful, including in the field of Nonlinear Optimisation. In this article, we consider results on the exhaustivity of simplicial partitioning schemes. We consider conjectures on this exhaustivity which seem at first glance to be true (two of which have been stated as true in published articles). However, we will pro...
متن کاملExhaustivity operators and fronted focus in Italian
In this contribution we present an original analysis of Fronted Focus (FF) in Italian (contrastive/corrective focus in the terminology of Belletti 2004), based on the insight that alleged FF is not a variant of the discourse-level category of Focus but rather instantiates a combination between the semantics associated with the discourse-level category of Contrast and the kind of Exhaustivity Op...
متن کاملParsimony, Exhaustivity and Balanced Detection in Neocortex
The layout of sensory brain areas is thought to subtend perception. The principles shaping these architectures and their role in information processing are still poorly understood. We investigate mathematically and computationally the representation of orientation and spatial frequency in cat primary visual cortex. We prove that two natural principles, local exhaustivity and parsimony of repres...
