Asymmetries between because and for reason clauses: Licensing speaker perspective

open access: yesNordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics
Although English because and for appear to be near-synonymous causal connectives, this paper shows that for has a distinct grammatical and semantic profile. When for introduces finite clauses, they are extraposed and inaccessible for syntactic processes.

The Gender of Heteroclites1

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Few have asked what happens to gender when a noun is heteroclitic – when its inflection draws on more than one inflection class.

Contrastive ecoacoustic indices: Large‐scale global soundscape characterization with contrastive inference

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecoacoustics mainly aims at monitoring soundscapes by means of non‐invasive protocols. Despite the widespread adoption of machine and deep learning techniques, existing ecoacoustic models predominantly rely on supervised learning and, consequently, face two primary limitations: (1) the necessity of annotated data; and (2) the restriction to ...

Quantification in frame semantics with binders and nominals of hybrid logic

open access: yesJournal of Language Modelling, 2017
This paper aims to integrate logical operators into frame-based semantics. Frames are semantic graphs that allow lexical meaning to be captured in a fine-grained way but that do not come with a natural way to integrate logical operators such as ...

The three‐step test in international copyright—a global framework for generative AI training

open access: yesAmerican Business Law Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The training of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) models involves the processing of large datasets, which often include copyrighted materials, thereby raising questions of copyright infringement. These questions tend to center on whether such use constitutes fair use or falls under text and data mining (TDM) exceptions.
