Cognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract In spoken languages, children acquire locative terms in a cross‐linguistically stable order. Terms similar in meaning to in and on emerge earlier than those similar to front and behind, followed by left and right. This order has been attributed to the complexity of the relations expressed by different locative terms.

In the pure event semantics sketched in the second section, nouns are state predicates, and this

The syntax of Greek split reciprocals
Syntax, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 713-746, December 2024.Abstract We provide the first detailed description and analysis of the syntax of the understudied Greek split reciprocal reconstruction. As in other languages, the reciprocal appears to be bipartite consisting of a quantificational distributor (‘the one’) and a reciprocator (‘the other’).

Syntax, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 527-549, September 2024.Abstract Two structure‐building operations are currently posited in minimalist theory: an operation forming sets (set merge), and an operation forming ordered pairs (pair‐merge). I argue that pair‐merge is sufficient to generate syntactic relations, so set merge, also called simple merge, should be eliminated from syntactic theory on grounds of ...

Studia Linguistica, Volume 78, Issue 2, Page 364-398, August 2024.Abstract This article provides a syntactic analysis of the inclusory plural pronominal construction in Fenno‐Swedish and Finnish. In this construction, a plural pronoun has a singular reading: vi …med Anna (literally “we …with Anna”) means ‘Anna and I’.

One Cue's Loss Is Another Cue's Gain—Learning Morphophonology Through Unlearning
Cognitive Science, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2024.Abstract A word often expresses many different morphological functions. Which part of a word contributes to which part of the overall meaning is not always clear, which raises the question as to how such functions are learned. While linguistic studies tacitly assume the co‐occurrence of cues and outcomes to suffice in learning these functions (Baer ...
