Mind & Language, 2021
It is generally thought that definite determiners exclusively mark nouns as definite. In several languages, however, definite determiners may modify both nouns and verbs.

Deriving Object Relatives in Kiswahili Determiner Phrases
Utafiti, 2020Abstract Generally one finds there are shortages in the array of technical resources available to penetrate the morphology of Kiswahili and its similarities to, as well as its departures from, morphemic structures in other Bantu languages. The introduction of a new approach employed here is an attempt to contribute to correcting that deficit.

Vague Determiner Phrases and Distributive Predication
2012The goal of this paper is to provide the formal basis for a new approach to modelling the application of vague predicates like tall and bald to plural subjects like John and Mary and the men. In other words, we are interested in developing a new logical analysis for natural language sentences like Mary is tall and The men are bald. In the past 30 years,
