Learning Proper Nouns and Common Nouns without Clues from Syntax

Four semantic layers of common nouns
Synthese, 2009This article proposes a four-layer semantic structure for common nouns. Each layer matches up with a semantic entity of a certain type in Montague’s intensional semantics. It is argued that a common noun denotes a sense and a concept, which are functions.

When modern type theories are employed for formal semantics, common nouns (CNs) are interpreted as types, not as predicates. Although this brings about some technical advantages, it is worthwhile to ask: what is special about CNs that merits them to be interpreted as types? We discuss the observation made by Geach that, unlike other lexical categories,

The clipping of common and proper nouns
Word Structure, 2011This paper takes issue with the general claim that clipping is a quite unpredictable und irregular derivational process in English. An analysis of 955 clippings is performed with a focus on the contrast between foreclipping and backclipping. The decision for or against backclipping is shown to be influenced by several factors – the stress pattern, the
