  • Animacy and Alienability: a Reconsideration of English
    Running head: ANIMACY AND ALIENABILITY 1 Animacy and Alienability A Reconsideration of English Possession Jaimee Jones A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2016 ANIMACY AND ALIENABILITY 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Jaeshil Kim, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Paul Müller, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Jeffrey Ritchey, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date ANIMACY AND ALIENABILITY 3 Abstract Current scholarship on English possessive constructions, the s-genitive and the of- construction, largely ignores the possessive relationships inherent in certain English compound nouns. Scholars agree that, in general, an animate possessor predicts the s- genitive while an inanimate possessor predicts the of-construction. However, the current literature rarely discusses noun compounds, such as the table leg, which also express possessive relationships. However, pragmatically and syntactically, a compound cannot be considered as a true possessive construction. Thus, this paper will examine why some compounds still display possessive semantics epiphenomenally. The noun compounds that imply possession seem to exhibit relationships prototypical of inalienable possession such as body part, part whole, and spatial relationships. Additionally, the juxtaposition of the possessor and possessum in the compound construction is reminiscent of inalienable possession in other languages. Therefore, this paper proposes that inalienability, a phenomenon not thought to be relevant in English, actually imbues noun compounds whose components exhibit an inalienable relationship with possessive semantics.

See https://quodlibet.readthedocs.org/en/latest for the latest documentation. Quod Libet is a GTK+-based audio player written in Python, using the Mutagen tagging library. It’s designed around the idea that you know how to organize your music better than we do. It lets you make playlists based on regular expressions (don’t worry, regular searches work too). It lets you display and edit any tags you want in the file, for all the file formats it supports. Unlike some, Quod Libet will scale to libraries with tens of thousands of songs. It also supports most of the features you’d expect from a modern media player: Unicode support, advanced tag editing, Replay Gain, podcasts & Internet radio, album art support and all major audio formats - see the screenshots. Ex Falso is a program that uses the same tag editing back-end as Quod Libet, but isn’t connected to an audio player. If you’re perfectly happy with your favorite player and just want something that can handle tagging, Ex Falso is for you.

  • Verbal Agreement with Collective Nominal Constructions: Syntactic and Semantic Determinants
    ATLANTIS Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies 39.1 (June 2017): 33-54 issn 0210-6124 | e-issn 1989-6840 Verbal Agreement with Collective Nominal Constructions: Syntactic and Semantic Determinants Yolanda Fernández-Pena Universidade de Vigo [email protected] This corpus-based study investigates the patterns of verbal agreement of twenty-three singular collective nouns which take of-dependents (e.g., a group of boys, a set of points). The main goal is to explore the influence exerted by theof -PP on verb number. To this end, syntactic factors, such as the plural morphology of the oblique noun (i.e., the noun in the of- PP) and syntactic distance, as well as semantic issues, such as the animacy or humanness of the oblique noun within the of-PP, were analysed. The data show the strongly conditioning effect of plural of-dependents on the number of the verb: they favour a significant proportion of plural verbal forms. This preference for plural verbal patterns, however, diminishes considerably with increasing syntactic distance when the of-PP contains a non-overtly- marked plural noun such as people. The results for the semantic issues explored here indicate that animacy and humanness are also relevant factors as regards the high rate of plural agreement observed in these constructions. Keywords: agreement; collective; of-PP; distance; animacy; corpus . Concordancia verbal con construcciones nominales colectivas: sintaxis y semántica como factores determinantes Este estudio de corpus investiga los patrones de concordancia verbal de veintitrés nombres colectivos singulares que toman complementos seleccionados por la preposición of, como en los ejemplos a group of boys, a set of points.

  • Collective Nouns Collective Nouns Are Names for a Collection Or a Number of People Or Things
    10/27/2018 What is a Collective Noun? Examples & Exercises | Ginger (//www.gingersoftware.com/) Grammar Rules << Back to Nouns (https://www.gingersoftware.com/content/grammar-rules/nouns/) Collective Nouns Collective nouns are names for a collection or a number of people or things. Words like group, herd, and array are collective noun examples. Here, we’ll take a closer look at collective nouns, and provide even more examples, placing them in context so you can gain a greater understanding of how they work. What is a Collective Noun You might not know it, but you encounter collective nouns in everyday speech. Collective nouns are words for single things that are made up of more than one person, animal, place, thing, or idea. You can’t have a team without individual members; even so, we discuss a team as a single entity. Collective Noun Examples Remember that nouns (http://www.gingersoftware.com/content/grammar-rules/nouns/) are words naming people, animals, places, and things. Collective nouns are in a class all their own. Once you’ve read these examples, you’ll find it much easier to recognize collective nouns when you see them. Our class took a field trip to the natural history museum. The herd of bison ran across the prairie, leaving a massive dust cloud in its wake. We waited anxiously for the jury to come to a verdict. This year’s basketball team includes three players who are over six feet tall. Napoleon’s army was finally defeated at Waterloo. The town council has approved plans to create a new park.

  • Full and Null Pronouns in Spanish: the Zero Pronoun Hypothesis
    Full and Null Pronouns in Spanish: the Zero Pronoun Hypothesis*. Luis Alonso-Ovalle & Francesco D’Introno University of Massachusetts at Amherst 1. The Puzzle Montalbetti (1984) points out certain semantic differences between phonetically full and phonetically empty pronouns (henceforth full and null pronouns) that challenge the traditional interpretive parallelism between empty and full categories (see Chomsky 1981, 1982). He shows that both in subject (1) and object position (2), while null pronouns can be interpreted as bound variables (as in (1a) and (2a) ), full pronouns cannot (as in (1c) and (2c)).1 (1) a. Nadiei sabe que proi vendrá. Nobody know:3S that pro come:3SFUT ‘Nobodyi knows that hei will come’. b. ~∃x ( person’ (x) & ( know’ (x) ( come’(x) ) )2 c. *Nadiei sabe que éli vendrá. Nobody know:3S that pro come3SFUT ‘Nobodyi knows that hej will come’. d. ~∃x ( person’ (x) & ( know’ (x) ( come’(y) ) ) (2) a. Nadiei sabe que el profesor lo vigila proi Nobody know:3S that the teacher HIM-CL watch-over:3S pro ‘Nobodyi knows that the teacher watches over himi’. b. ~∃x ( person’ (x) & know’ (x) (watch-over’ (p) (x) ) ) c. *Nadiei sabe que el profesor lo vigila a éli. Nobody know:3S that the teacher HIM-CL watch-over:3s him ‘Nobodyi knows that the teacher watches over himj’. d. ~∃x ( person’(x) & know’ (x) (watch-over’ (p) (y) ) ) Contrasts like those under (1) and (2) seem to suggest that a principle equivalent to (3) has to be taken to describe the strategy responsible for anaphora resolution in Spanish3. (3) Variable binding is restricted to null pronouns.

  • 3 Types of Anaphors
    3 Types of anaphors Moving from the definition and characteristics of anaphors to the types of ana- phors, this chapter will detail the nomenclature of anaphor types established for this book. In general, anaphors can be categorised according to: their form; the type of relationship to their antecedent; the form of their antecedents; the position of anaphors and antecedents, i.e. intrasentential or intersentential; and other features (cf. Mitkov 2002: 8-17). The procedure adopted here is to catego- rise anaphors according to their form. It should be stressed that the types dis- tinguished in this book are not universal categories, so the proposed classifica- tion is not the only possible solution. For instance, personal, possessive and re- flexive pronouns can be seen as three types or as one type. With the latter, the three pronoun classes are subsumed under the term “central pronouns”, as it is adopted here. Linguistic classifications of anaphors can be found in two established gram- mar books, namely in Quirk et al.’s A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (2012: 865) and in The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (Stirling & Huddleston 2010: 1449-1564). Quirk et al. include a chapter of pro- forms and here distinguish between coreference and substitution. However, they do not take anaphors as their starting point of categorisation. Additionally, Stirling & Huddleston do not consider anaphors on their own but together with deixis. As a result, anaphoric noun phrases with a definite article, for example, are not included in both categorisations. Furthermore, Schubert (2012: 31-55) presents a text-linguistic view, of which anaphors are part, but his classification is similarly unsuitable because it does not focus on the anaphoric items specifi- cally.

I frequently get questions from readers, and when possible, answer them immediately. However, the following question was complex enough that I thought I would share it, as well as my response, through a column. KK: I missed the memo that changed noun-verb agreement on nouns formerly defined as singular i.e. "staff," meaning more than one person, as in "the staff are." When did it change from "the staff is"? Who decided on this change, and why wasn’t I notified? I’m making light of this issue, but I’m perplexed. P.S. Grammar check didn’t get the memo either. District Judge Marilyn Leonard Compound Subjects The general rule is that a singular subject takes a singular verb and a plural subject takes a plural verb. Examples: —She enjoys chocolate cake. (Singular subject with singular verb.) —They enjoy chocolate cake, too. (Plural subject with plural verb.) But what happens when the subject is two or more nouns combined by a conjunction? These "conjunctive-compound subjects" usually take a plural verb. Example: —The plaintiff and defendant agree to the continuance.
