ISBN 87 635 0213 5 Copyright © Museum Tusculanums Press Preface (post hoc) This book is intended as counter-evidence to the perception (one wide- spread these days) of Linguistics as the domain of dusty schoolroom grammar, where proponents of one theoretical orientation or the other spend their brief breaks in the playground bashing the other lot over the head with their favourite abstractions. The discipline may appear to outsiders as fragmented and – worse still – lacking in relevance to the real world outside its gates. I hope to show that Linguistics, in all its varied branches, can be entertaining as well as thought-provoking, and that its domain is indeed a coherent one despite all the internecine squabbling. By introducing the subject in an unconventional way – as a kind of fable (one with a historical moral even) – I hope to make the reader think for his or herself (or is that ‘him or herself’?). The usual references to the scientific literature are lacking, and exemplification of all points is made with the help of the substance of the text itself. Obviously, the book – if used pedagogically – will have to be supplemen- ted by a standard introductory work (such as O’Grady, Dobrovolsky and Katamba’s excellent “Contemporary Linguistics”) where such informa- tion is supplied. Questions are nevertheless provided for each section which the reader, ideally, should solve before proceeding further (they are gathered at the end of the book). There is also a good deal of nonsense and irreverent (if not irrelevant) word play that needs to be cut away from the story for the core to become apparent. But this is true of the discipline itself! Distinguishing what is permanently won territory from the fluctuating gains and losses at the theoretical periphery is not an easy task for the newcomer. Best not to take anything for granted – and to form your own opinion.

The back way in It looked for a moment as if a large floppy tongue was jammed at a painful angle into the space between the upright of the old arched gate and the high stone wall and was wriggling desperately to escape. But then one saw the spindly legs kicking out spasmodically below the near end of the object and heard the shouts of the two men, one on each side of the gateway, and realized that it was in fact a rolled up carpet, now partly unrolled, that they were trying to get through the gap that way. On closer inspection it became clear that the gate – closed by a rusty padlock – had long been in disuse, although its filagree metalwork, incorporating two identically plumed coats of arms, was still impressive. Less so was the state of the wall itself, partially hidden at the base by weeds and covered by straggles of ivy that had worked their way between the stones and loosened the mortar, causing the upper part next to the gate to crumble right away and leave a narrow fissure. It was through this that the two men had apparently tried to force their load after ascertaining that the way was otherwise barred. The words on the side of the van that was parked at the edge of the lane flanking the wall provided a clue as to the nature of their strange behaviour: William Horricks & son, Carpet-fitters and (Re)Upholsterers The two dangling feet dropped to the ground, quickly followed by a cloth cap; between the two came the assumed referent of the elder of the eponyms on the side of the van, clad in overalls. He stood there on wiry legs now, still springy from the drop, and mopped his brow in exaggera- ted fashion. “Ease ’er over gentle now, Jack,” he shouted back. “I done me bit.” “Aaagh!” was the only reply as the end of the tongue shot up in the air like the stern of a torpedoed ship then slithered out of sight down an invisible throat. It was immediately followed by a dull crash and the crepitation of loose mortar on sundered undergrowth. A moment later, a muscular young fellow in jeans and a T-shirt stood glaring through the gate at his progenitor, foliage sticking out of his dishevelled mop of red hair.

That’s what we be, tradesmen, right?” “You’re a dreamer, you live in a past that doesn’t exist any more!

Now that me and the carpet are on this side we might as well carry on. Just fetch the tools and get on over here.” “Not every day d’yer get a letter from a duke,” the ancient one continued clucking to himself as he moved in a kind of springy shuffle across to the van, retrieved the heavy wooden tool box and returned with it in both hands, talking all the while. “On crested paper too!

  • Minimal Pronouns, Logophoricity and Long-Distance Reflexivisation in Avar
    Minimal pronouns, logophoricity and long-distance reflexivisation in Avar* Pavel Rudnev Revised version; 28th January 2015 Abstract This paper discusses two morphologically related anaphoric pronouns inAvar (Avar-Andic, Nakh-Daghestanian) and proposes that one of them should be treated as a minimal pronoun that receives its interpretation from a λ-operator situated on a phasal head whereas the other is a logophoric pro- noun denoting the author of the reported event. Keywords: reflexivity, logophoricity, binding, syntax, semantics, Avar 1 Introduction This paper has two aims. One is to make a descriptive contribution to the crosslin- guistic study of long-distance anaphoric dependencies by presenting an overview of the properties of two kinds of reflexive pronoun in Avar, a Nakh-Daghestanian language spoken natively by about 700,000 people mostly living in the North East Caucasian republic of Daghestan in the Russian Federation. The other goal is to highlight the relevance of the newly introduced data from an understudied lan- guage to the theoretical debate on the nature of reflexivity, long-distance anaphora and logophoricity. The issue at the heart of this paper is the unusual character of theanaphoric system in Avar, which is tripartite. (1) is intended as just a preview with more *The present material was presented at the Utrecht workshop The World of Reflexives in August 2011. I am grateful to the workshop’s audience and participants for their questions and comments. I am indebted to Eric Reuland and an anonymous reviewer for providing valuable feedback on the first draft, as well as to Yakov Testelets for numerous discussions of anaphora-related issues inAvar spanning several years.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph end reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will finda good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap.

  • Influences on Parsing Ambiguity
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Influences on Parsing Ambiguity A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Linguistics By Lauren Marie Ackerman EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2015 2 c Copyright by Lauren Marie Ackerman 2015 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT Influences on Parsing Ambiguity Lauren Marie Ackerman The primary goal of this dissertation is to characterize the relative strength of two of the influences on the parser's behavior during ambiguity resolution: coreference dependency formation and verb frame preference. I find that coreference dependency formation exerts a stronger influence on the parser than does verb frame preference, even when verb frame preference is maximized in transitively biased frames. Previous studies have shown local attachment bias initially directs the parser to an embedded object analysis in sentences like (1), in which the DP Annie's melody is locally ambiguous between the embedded object (EO)/matrix subject (MS) analyses (Ferreira and Henderson, 1990). (1) Whenever she was trying to casually hum Annie's melody was beautiful. Additionally, (1) contains a cataphoric pronoun she which triggers an active search for an antecedent, whereby the parser seeks the antecedent only in grammatically sanctioned positions, such as where the antecedent is not c-commanded by the pronoun (Kazanina 4 et al., 2007; van Gompel and Liversedge, 2003). In (1), the closest potential antecedent is Annie. However, it can be the antecedent only if the DP that contains it is analyzed as the MS, thus outside the whenever-clause and not c-commanded by she. A bias toward an early cataphoric dependency formation could lead the parser to analyze the ambiguous DP as the MS.

Students are often reluctant to try new foods. Taste tests introduce new menu items in a way that raises awareness about healthy food choices, involves the school community, and builds a culture of trying new foods. Research has shown that children (and adults!) need to try new foods multiple times (up to twelve times!) before integrating them into their diet. School taste tests of New Hampshire Harvest of the Month products give students an opportunity to try locally produced and in-season foods each month. They may not like kale as kindergarteners, but providing regular opportunities for students to try it in various forms (chips, salads, smoothies, etc.) throughout their school years can lead to a whole new generation of kale lovers! When and where should Taste Tests take place? When: Taste tests work best when implemented on a regular schedule.

  • Characters for Classical Latin
    Characters for Classical Latin David J. Perry version 13, 2 July 2020 Introduction The purpose of this document is to identify all characters of interest to those who work with Classical Latin, no matter how rare. Epigraphers will want many of these, but I want to collect any character that is needed in any context. Those that are already available in Unicode will be so identified; those that may be available can be debated; and those that are clearly absent and should be proposed can be proposed; and those that are so rare as to be unencodable will be known. If you have any suggestions for additional characters or reactions to the suggestions made here, please email me at [email protected] . No matter how rare, let’s get all possible characters on this list. Version 6 of this document has been updated to reflect the many characters of interest to Latinists encoded as of Unicode version 13.0. Characters are indicated by their Unicode value, a hexadecimal number, and their name printed IN SMALL CAPITALS. Unicode values may be preceded by U+ to set them off from surrounding text. Combining diacritics are printed over a dotted cir- cle ◌ to show that they are intended to be used over a base character. For more basic information about Unicode, see the website of The Unicode Consortium, http://www.unicode.org/ or my book cited below. Please note that abbreviations constructed with lines above or through existing let- ters are not considered separate characters except in unusual circumstances, nor are the space-saving ligatures found in Latin inscriptions unless they have a unique grammatical or phonemic function (which they normally don’t).
