The typology of tone and word-prosodic systems in general has been of longstanding interest to theorists and field workers alike. Unfortunately, much of the early typologizing dates from a time when we did not have adequate understanding of the full range of tonal phenomena across languages, e.g. African and Asian tone systems figured centrally in such typologizing, e.g. Pike’s (1948) famous di...

The focus of the paper will be some aspects of the interaction of meaning and context with different kinds of adjectives. Adjective meanings are shown to be more constrained than was appreciated in earlier work. Facts about “NP-splitting” in Polish cast serious doubt on the standard hierarchy of adjectives, and the data become much more orderly if privative adjectives are reanalyzed as subsecti...

This paper shows how a computational model originally developed to explain classification in nou...

Based on the privative derivational suffix -los, we test statements found in literature word formation using a – at least this field novel empirical basis: list of affective-emotional ratings base nouns and associated -los derivations. In addition to frequency analysis based German Reference Corpus, show that, general, emotional polarity (so-called valence, positive vs. negative emotions) is re...

Abstract In the Jê languages standard negators tend to take a post-verbal position. This paper asks why this should be case and therefore discusses earlier accounts relating either negative verbs or privative postpositions. We argue that these do not have exclude each other. particular, we propose an existential negator can reanalyzed as one. also if origin of is verb with meaning ‘finish’, may...
