Manning and Christopher Potts Linguistics Department Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 {mcdm,manning,cgpotts}@stanford.edu Abstract—Natural language understanding depends heavily on making the requisite inferences. The inherent uncertainty of assessing veridicality – whether the speaker intends to convey that pragmatic inference suggests to us that veridicality judgments events mentioned are actual, non-actual, or uncertain. However, are not always categorical, and thus are better modeled as this property is little used in relation and event extraction systems, and the work that has been done has generally assumed distributions. We therefore treat veridicality as a distribution- that it can be captured by lexical semantic properties. Here, prediction task.

  • ANASTASIA in Stuttgart
    ANASTASIA in Stuttgart Den Mythos Anastasia live erleben Das ANASTASIA Musical feiert im November 2018 seine Deutschlandpremiere. Besuchen Sie die neue märchenhafte Musicalproduktion im Stage Palladium Theater in Stuttgart! Es basiert auf dem Zeichentrickfilm von 1997 und stammt aus der Feder von Stephen Flaherty (Musik), Lynn Ahrens (Lyrics) sowie Terrence McNally (Buch). ANASTASIA - DAS BROADWAY MUSICAL Das Musical ANASTASIA erzählt die Legende vom Überleben der jüngsten Zarentochter. Die Geschichte des Musicals spielt in St. Petersburg und im Paris der 20er Jahre. Anastasia ist der jüngste Spross der russischen Zarenfamilie. Alle Mitglieder der Familie werden bei einem Überfall der Bolschewiken getötet. Ausschließlich Anastasias Großmutter Maria Feodoronova bleibt verschont, weil diese Jahre zuvor das Land verlassen hat und nach Paris gezogen ist. Doch als St. Petersburg in Leningrad umbenannt wird, tauchen Gerüchte auf, dass Anastasia noch lebt. Maria Feodoronova verspricht eine hohe Belohnung für denjenigen, der sie wieder mit ihrer tot geglaubten Enkelin vereint. Dies wollen die beiden Gauner Dimitri und Vladimir für sich nutzen. Deshalb suchen sie nach einer jungen naiven Frau, die vorgibt Anastasia zu sein. Auf ihrer Suche stoßen sie auf das Mädchen Anja. Da Anja nichts über ihre Herkunft weiß und der Zarentochter sehr ähnlich sieht, überreden Dimitri und Vladimir die junge Frau mit ihnen nach Paris zu reisen. Kurz vor ihrer Abreise droht der ganze Plan zu scheitern. Doch Anja, Dimitri und Vladimir gelingt die Flucht aus Russland. In Frankreich angekommen sind alle drei von Paris überwältigt. Doch können sie Maria Feodoronova davon überzeugen, dass es sich bei Anja um ihre Enkelin handelt? Denn Anastasias Großmutter wurde bereits mehrmals durch Betrügerinnen bitter enttäuscht.

  • 05. Verbal Vp-Modifiers in Samoan Verb Serialization
    VERBAL VP-MODIFIERS IN SAMOAN VERB SERIALIZATION* Jens Hopperdietzel University of Manchester [email protected] This study provides a first investigation of the syntactic and semantic properties of resultative serial verb constructions in the Polynesian language Samoan. Based on syntactic and semantic evidence, I demonstrate that the manner V1 functions as an adjoined event modifier to the causative V2, with further implications for the typology of vP-internal modification. 1. Introduction In Samoan resultative serial verb constructions (henceforth: RSVCs), the initial verb (henceforth: V1) denotes the manner of a causing action, which leads to a change-of-state of the object in which the result state is encoded by a non-initial causative verb (henceforth: V2). The causative verb is derived by the prefix fa’a- (Collins 2017, Mosel 2004, Mosel & Hovdhaugen 1992). (1) a. Sā solo fa’a-mamā e Pita le laulau.

  • Negation and Polarity: an Introduction
    Nat Lang Linguist Theory (2010) 28: 771–786 DOI 10.1007/s11049-010-9114-0 Negation and polarity: an introduction Doris Penka · Hedde Zeijlstra Accepted: 9 September 2010 / Published online: 26 November 2010 © The Author(s) 2010. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract This introduction addresses some key issues and questions in the study of negation and polarity. Focussing on negative polarity and negative indefinites, it summarizes research trends and results. Special attention is paid to the issues of syn- chronic variation and diachronic change in the realm of negative polarity items, which figure prominently in the articles and commentaries contained in this special issue. Keywords Negative polarity · Negative indefinites · n-words · Negative concord · Synchronic variation · Diachronic change 1 Background This special issue takes its origin in the workshop on negation and polarity (Neg- Pol07) that was held at the University of Tübingen in March 2007. The workshop was hosted by the Collaborative Research Centre 441 “Linguistic Data Structures” and funded by the German Research Council (DFG). Its aim was to bring together researchers working on theoretical aspects of negation and polarity items as well as the empirical basis surrounding these phenomena. One of the reasons to organize this workshop, and to put together this special is- sue, is that after several decades of generative research it is now generally felt that quite some progress has been made in understanding the general mechanics and mo- tivations behind negation and polarity items. At the same time, it becomes more and D. Penka () Zukunftskolleg and Department of Linguistics, University of Konstanz, Box 216, 78457 Konstanz, Germany e-mail: [email protected] H.
