چکیده
Reflexives (e.g. himself ) and pronouns (e.g. him) are usually distin-guished by categorical conditions on their binding domains. However, there is aclass of English expressions of the form Possessive Pronoun+ass (e.g. your ass)which we demonstrate to have pronominal properties but which appear to haveunrestricted binding domains. We explore the problems such expressions pose fordifferent types of binding theories and how an appeal to the unique meaning ofass-pronouns can resolve potential domain specificity conflicts.

We propose in this paper to explore this fertile ground and show the first steps towards the formalization of Arabic syntax and semantics by means of MultiModal Categorial Grammars. We will particularly focus on the analysis of some phenome...
متن کاملRepresenting the Adverb Very in Fuzzy Set Theory
We recall the concept of a linguistic variable and the representation of its values (i.e. linguistic terms) by means of fuzzy sets. In this framework adverbs are represented by fuzzy modifiers, i.e. operators acting on these fuzzy sets. We investigate two important classes of popular fuzzy modifiers. Grounding on results from psycholinguistic research, we discuss their pro’s and contra’s for re...
