Title
Determiners: Universals and variation
Edited by Jila Ghomeshi, Ileana Paul and Martina Wiltschko
This volume brings together recent work on the formal and interpretational properties of determiners across a variety of typologically and geographically unrelated languages. It seeks to answer the core question of modern linguistic theory: Which properties of languages are universal and which are… read more[Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 147] 2009. vii, 247 pp.
2021 Chapter 3. Universal underpinnings of language-specific categories: A useful heuristic for discovering and comparing categories of grammar and beyond Linguistic Categories, Language Description and Linguistic Typology, Alfieri, Luca, Giorgio Francesco Arcodia and Paolo Ramat (eds.), pp. 59–100 | Chapter
The goal of this paper is to argue that the assumption that there are universal underpinnings for the construction of language specific categories is a useful, if not necessary assumption for the discovery and comparison of categories. Specifically, I will explore three empirical domains: … read more
2016 The syntax of confirmationals: A neo-performative analysis Outside the Clause: Form and function of extra-clausal constituents, Kaltenböck, Gunther, Evelien Keizer and Arne Lohmann (eds.), pp. 305–340 | Article
This paper explores the form, function and distribution of certain discourse markers which seem to occur outside traditional clause boundaries and are used to request confirmation. These ‘confirmationals’ differ according to what is expected to be confirmed. Some confirmationals trigger a response… read more
2014 Patterns of nominalization in Blackfoot Cross-linguistic Investigations of Nominalization Patterns, Paul, Ileana (ed.), pp. 189–214 | Article
Patterns of nominalization in Blackfoot are surveyed. It is demonstrated that two of these patterns behave like nouns while two others only partially behave like nouns. Degrees of nominality are analyzed within the assumption that there is a universal syntactic spine, a hierarchically organized set… read more
2012 Function without content: Evidence from Greek subjunctive na Towards a Biolinguistic Understanding of Grammar: Essays on interfaces, Di Sciullo, Anna Maria (ed.), pp. 117–140 | Article
In this paper we provide new evidence for the assumption that the content of functional categories should be dissociated from its function (Ritter & Wiltschko 2009, 2011). In particular, we discuss evidence from lexicalization patterns. On standard assumptions, functional categories are… read more
2009 Determiners: Universals and variation Determiners: Universals and variation, Ghomeshi, Jila, Ileana Paul and Martina Wiltschko (eds.), pp. 1–22 | Miscellaneous
2009 What’s in a determiner and how did it get there? Determiners: Universals and variation, Ghomeshi, Jila, Ileana Paul and Martina Wiltschko (eds.), pp. 25–66 | Article
I investigate determiner systems of three unrelated languages (Blackfoot, German, and Halkomelem). I show that the features encoded in determiners vary in content, distribution, and spell-out properties. I argue that the distributional differences are best understood as reflecting the familiar… read more
