A feature-based syntax/semantics interface [PDF]
Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 1993 Syntax/Semantics interfaces using unification-based or feature-based formalisms are increasingly common in the existing computational linguistics literature. The primary reason for attempting to specify a syntax/semantics interface in feature structures is that it harmonizes so well with the way in which syntax is now normally described; this close ...

Mismatches at the syntax-semantics interface
Proceedings of the International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, 2004 Recent analyses of mismatches at the syntax-semantics interface investigate e.g. modification of agentive nouns (Larson, 1998), modification of quantifying pronouns (Abney, 1987), or recursive modification (Kasper, to appear). Each of these analyses is tailored to a specific set of data, and it is not immediately obvious how they could be ...

Negative polarity licensing at the syntax-semantics interface [PDF]
Proceedings of the eighth conference on European chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1997 Recent work on the syntax-semantics interface (see e.g. (Dalrymple et al., 1994)) uses a fragment of linear logic as a 'glue language' for assembling meanings compositionally. This paper presents a glue language account of how negative polarity items (e.g.

The As and Bs of titi monkey linguistics: why emotional communication is not the enemy. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT The alarm call sequences of titi monkeys (genera Plecturocebus, Callicebus and Cheracebus) have sparked important debates over whether they exhibit parallels with human language. Some researchers consider these sequences to involve both semantics and syntax, while others argue that the sequences convey semantic information without syntax.

Spanish Root Exclamatives at the Syntax/Semantics Interface
Catalan Journal of Linguistics, 2008 In this paper several aspects of the syntax and semantics of Spanish root exclamatives are analyzed. Assuming a multi-layered approach to the CP projection, it is argued that a degree feature is checked in the Focus layer and that the exclamative feature

Exclamative clauses: At the syntax-semantics interface [PDF]
Language, 2001 A central issue in the theory of clause types is whether force is represented in the syntax. Based on data from English, Italian, and Paduan, we examine this question focusing on a less well-studied clause type, exclamatives. We argue that there is no particular element in syntax responsible for introducing force.
