French “quantifiers” in questions: interface strategies [PDF]
, 2016 Building on an experimental study, I show that homophonous wh-phrases like qui ‘who’ in French correlate with prosodic differences when specificity and partitivity come into play, something not found with bare Universal Quantifiers like chacun ‘each’ and

Expletive Constructions and Agreement in Labeling Theory
Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT In this paper, I explain how agreement occurs in English expletive constructions, in accord with recent work in the Minimalist Program. I develop a proposal that relies on feature unification and probe‐goal agreement, as well as the notion that internal merge of arguments generally applies freely.

European Journal of Combinatorics, 2005 The partition algebras are algebras of diagrams (which contain the group algebra of the symmetric group and the Brauer algebra) such that the multiplication is given by a combinatorial rule and such that the structure constants of the algebra depend polynomially on a parameter.

Lability in Hittite and Indo‐European: A Diachronic Perspective
Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT Lability is defined as the possibility of a verb to enter a valency alternation without undergoing any change in its form. Labile verbs were common in ancient Indo‐European languages, including Hittite, which mostly features anticausative lability, with reflexive and reciprocal lability being less prominent.

French de nominals and Russian non-canonical genitives. Are they partitive-like nominal expressions?
Catalan Journal of LinguisticsThe main goal of this paper is to provide a unified analysis of de nominals in French and noncanonical genitive nominals in Russian. Unlike previous literature that relies on partitivity, quantification and case assignment, we argue that a unified ...

The Nature, Structure, and Perception of Illumination
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 1, Page 175-192, January 2026.ABSTRACT Illumination is a defining characteristic of natural environments, yet its nature and spatial structure remain poorly understood. I argue first that illumination is not simply light: it is an emergent, ecologically significant kind. Illumination has features not possessed by light, and contains self‐organizing structures that persist through ...

International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 60, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT Background Differentiating typical language development (TD) and developmental language disorder (DLD) in a bilingual context is difficult. The societal language is often the only mutual language of the child and the SLT. It has been shown that when assessing second language (L2) performance using tools developed for monolingual children ...

Basis partitions and Rogers–Ramanujan partitions
Discrete Mathematics, 1999 From the paper's abstract: Every partition has, for some \(d\), a Durfee square of side \(d\). Every partition \(\pi\) with Durfee square of side \(d\) gives rise to a `successive rank vector' \( {\mathbf r} = (r_1, \dots, r_d)\). Conversely, given a vector \({\mathbf r} = (r_1, \dots, r_d)\), there is a unique partition \(\pi_0\) of minimal size ...
