Polarity Sensitivity and Evaluation Order in Type-Logical Grammar
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a novel, type-logical analysis of polarity sensitivity: how negative polarity items (like any and ever) or positive ones (like some) are licensed or prohibited. It takes not just scopal relations but also linear order into account, using the programming-language notions of delimited continuations and evaluation order, respectively. It thus achieves greater empirical coverage than previous proposals.

Types as Graphs: Continuations in Type Logical Grammar
Using the programming-language concept of CONTINUATIONS, we propose a new, multimodal analysis of quantification in Type Logical Grammar. Our approach provides a geometric view of in-situ quantification in terms of graphs, and motivates the limited use of empty antecedents in derivations. Just as continuations are the tool of choice for reasoning about evaluation order and side effects in progr...
متن کاملQuantification and polarity sensitivity
Making a linguistic theory is like making a programming language: one typically devises a type system to delineate the acceptable utterances and a denotational semantics to explain observations on their behavior. Via this connection, the programming language concept of delimited continuations can help analyze natural language phenomena such as quantification and polarity sensitivity. Using a lo...

متن کاملLawrence S . Moss The Soundness of Internalized Polarity Marking
This paper provides a foundation for the polarity marking technique introduced by David Dowty [3] in connection with monotonicity reasoning in natural language and in linguistic analyses of negative polarity items based on categorial grammar. Dowty’s work is an alternative to the better-known algorithmic approach first proposed by Johan van Benthem [11], and elaborated by Vı́ctor Sánchez Valenci...
