要旨:

In this talk, I will investigate the meanings of the Japanese counter-expectational scalar modifiers yoppodo and kaette and rethink the current classification and theories of projective content from a new perspective. Roughly speaking, yoppodo (the evidential type) denotes a high degree at the at-issue level and conventionally implies that the given degree is above the judge’s expectation, based on some evidence. (Note: the evidential type of yoppodo has the property of modal concord (e.g., Geurts and Huitink 2006; Zeijlstra 2008) or modal matching (Grosz 2010) in that it always has to co-occur with an evidential modal.) On the other hand, kaette signals that the at-issue situation is unusual by lexically conveying that generally, the opposite situation is true.

The puzzling characteristic of yoppodo and kaette is their complex property of projection. In the case of yoppodo, if it is embedded under an attitude predicate and there is an evidential modal in the embedded clause, then yoppodo is always subject-oriented. However, if yoppodo is embedded under an attitude predicate and there is an evidential modal (a concord element) in the main clause, then yoppodo is always speaker-oriented. Regarding kaette, although it lacks the property of modal matching/concord, if there is no epistemic modality in the main clause, it cannot project beyond the complement of an attitude predicate.

I will argue that these projective behaviors pose a serious problem for the parametric approach to the taxonomy of projective content, especially for the parametric classification based on “obligatory local effect” (Tonhauser et al. 2013).  I will then claim that yoppodo and kaette belong to a new class of projective content that is not sensitive to the “obligatory local effect” parameter and suggest that this class of projective content has the property of "indirect evaluation" (cf. Sawada 2014).

The proper treatment of coordination in ordinary English

要旨: 

前回の発表では、主に、Hybrid Type-Logical Categorial Grammar (Hybrid TLCG)によってどのように主流の理論の移動の概念を捉えることができるかを議論した。今回は、この議論を踏まえて、主流の理論では扱いが著しく困難となる現象、具体的には、等位接続とスコープ解釈との関連に関する詳細な分析を提示する。今回の発表では、まず、Hybrid TLCGでの (非構成素等位接続を含めた) 等位接続の分析を示し、これと音形表示におけるラムダ抽象による「移動」の分析を組み合わせることで、等位接続と様々なタイプのスコープ演算子(量化子、same/differentなどのいわゆる「対照述語」、等位接続や複数名詞の並行的解釈(`respective' reading)など) の解釈との関連を適切に分析することができることを示す。
