Clitics, anti‐clitics, and weak words: Towards a typology of prosodic and syntagmatic dependence
Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 16, Issue 5-6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Some reference grammars and cross‐linguistic works describe all elements that are not clear‐cut words as “clitics.” As a consequence of this practice, the class of suggested clitics is highly heterogeneous, which reduces the usefulness of the “clitic” label as a whole. In response to this situation, a more nuanced typology of grammatical forms

Semantic Similarity of Alternatives Fostered by Conversational Negation
Cognitive Science, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Conversational negation often behaves differently from negation as a logical operator: when rejecting a state of affairs, it does not present all members of the complement set as equally plausible alternatives, but it rather suggests some of them as more plausible than others (e.g., “This is not a dog, it is a wolf/*screwdriver”).
