Parallel Architecture: From Problems and Mysteries to Solutions and Explanations

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We argue that Jackendoff's Parallel Architecture (PA) is the right way to think about the architecture of the language faculty. The critical property of this architecture is that it allows for genuine explanation by allocating different aspects of linguistic phenomena to appropriate corresponding representations and capacities.

Toward a Deeper Lexical Semantics

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A recurrent problem in lexical semantics is how “deep” the analysis of words and phrases should be. We argue for a deeper analysis of lexical meanings and for relatively rich representations. In particular, we argue that meanings do not form a homogeneous class of mental representations.

open access: yesWorld Englishes, EarlyView.
Abstract The study at hand is an exploration of the alternation between the mandative subjunctive and its equivalent modal construction with the verb should in Indian English. The study complements the growing body of research on the morphosyntax of the variety and it enhances our understanding of the relatively under‐researched alternation.
