Why Free Relatives Sometimes Behave as Indefinites
In this paper I show that the puzzling behaviour of (realis) Free Relatives (henceforth: FRs) as definites in some contexts and indefinites in others is best accounted for under the assumption that the covert D(eterminer) head that takes the overt CP as its complement (cf. [2]) is ambiguous: first, it can denote the sigma-operator (see [10]), which returns an object of type e, namely the maxima...
متن کاملWhy is A Few Sometimes A Lot?
It is not surprising to find that the quantity picked out by terms like a few and a lot is context dependent. We can easily accept that a few books might be 10 books, yet a lot of smartphones might only be 4 smartphones. The current paper posits that there are two hypotheses that can explain can explain this context dependency: the Definite Number Hypothesis (DNH), and the Gradable Quantifier H...
متن کاملWhy children sometimes say “mice-eater”
Do the production patterns of plural forms in noun-noun compounds reveal the workings of innate constraints that govern morphological processing? Gordon (1985) claims that the fact that children in elicitation tasks produce “rat-eater" but “mice-eater” to describe monsters that eat either rats or mice is evidence for a structural constraint on word formation that prevents regularly inflected fo...
متن کاملWhy are some representations (sometimes) more effective?
Graphical representations are used heavily in systems analysis and design without proper verification of their usability. However, different representations have varying impact on the effectiveness of systems analysts. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of diagrammatic representations on task behavior and performance. A cognitive model of an analysis and design task using di...
متن کاملAn Explanation of Why Inference Learners Sometimes Appear to Store Prototypical Features
Introduction A range of studies indicate that inference learners and classification learners rely on different knowledge when making post training judgments (e.g. Yamauchi & Markman, 1998). The differences have been argued to be due to inference learners focusing on prototypical features whereas classification learners focus on diagnostic features or exemplars (e.g. Markman & Ross, 2003). This ...
