Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 264-292, June 2026.Abstract Ontological nihilists repudiate ontology altogether, maintaining that ontological structure is an unnecessary addition to our theorizing. Recent defenses of the view involve a sophisticated combination of highly expressive but ontologically innocent languages combined with a metaphysics of features—non‐objectual, complete but modifiable states

New Insights Into Lakota Syntax: The Encoding of Arguments and the Number of Verbal Affixes
Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT This paper examines the morphosyntax of transitive constructions in Lakota, with particular emphasis being placed on the encoding of arguments.

Conundrums in Noun Phrase Coreference Resolution: Making Sense of the State-of-the-Art
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2009 We aim to shed light on the state-of-the-art in NP coreference resolution by teasing apart the differences in the MUC and ACE task definitions, the assumptions made in evaluation methodologies, and inherent differences in text corpora.

In Defense of a Pragmatic Interpretation of Bambi Sentences

My primary aim is to argue that bound interpretations of names do not provide evidence that names semantically have bound uses. I begin by outlining the motivation for the view that names do have semantic bound uses, then offer several reasons to reject this view.
