As shown in the formal semantics literature, adjectives can display very different inferential patterns depending on whether they are intersective, privative, subsective or plain non subsective. Moreover, many of these classes are often described using second order constructs. In this paper, we adopt Hobbs’s ontologically promiscuous approach and present a first order treatment of adjective sem...

In most privative approaches to melodic structure, the only phonological operations deemed possible are those involving the linking and delinking of primes. However, within an Element Theory model where no independent ATR prime is recognized, this restriction must be relaxed in order to accommodate cases of tongue root harmony. In response, we propose a view of melodic structure in which every ...

This paper is concerned with theoretical and empirical issues in the definition and treatment of morphological categories. Considering the decomposition of privative categories into bundles of binary features, I will discuss what work the latter should be expected to do. I will propose a fairly literal interpretation of these component binary features and argue that we should take their indepen...

The English prefixes near-, pseudo- and quasi- are privative, in that whatever essential property their morphological base expresses is not strictly possessed by an entity characterized as near-/pseudo-/quasi-X. However, we claim this meaning precise enough hypothesize near- approximative meaning, whereas ‘disproximative’, expressing the idea of ‘falling short’ a standard. Distributional-semant...

Reason is one of the criteria for examining the validation of tradition – so much that disagreement with it can discredit it and agreement with it can be considered as a validation. The goal of this study is to show the role of different reasoning faculties in validating the interpretational traditions. This study was conducted using a library-based study and the method of conceptual analysis. ...
