Complex Predication and the Metaphysics of Properties [PDF]
Dialectica, 2014 The existence of complex predicates seems to support an abundant conception of properties. Specifically, the application conditions for complex predicates seem to be explained by the distribution of a sparser base of predicates. This explanatory link might suggest that the existence and distribution of properties expressed by complex predicates are ...

Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2008 In this paper I argue that a fine-grained functional hierarchy of semantically contentful categories such as Tense, Aspect, Initiation, and Process has explanatory power in understanding the crosslinguistic distribution of complex predicates.

The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 2010 AbstractThe undecidability of first-order logic implies that there is no computable bound on the length of shortest proofs of valid sentences of first-order logic. Some valid sentences can only have quite long proofs. How hard is it to prove such “hard” valid sentences?

El + verb complex predicates in Hungarian
Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2008 This paper investigates the structure of complex predicates comprising the verbal particle el- (`away') and a verb in Hungarian. I show that el- has different meaning contributions to the predication when combined with different types of verbs.
