2023 Reimagining language: Towards a better understanding of language by including our interactions with non-humans Linguistics in the Netherlands 2023, Leufkens, Sterre and Marco Bril (eds.), pp. 309–317 | Article
What is language and who or what can be said to have it? In this essay we consider this question in the context of interactions with non-humans, specifically: animals and computers. While perhaps an odd pairing at first glance, here we argue that these domains can offer contrasting perspectives… read more

2007 Agreement with (the internal structure of) copies of movement The Copy Theory of Movement, Corver, Norbert and Jairo Nunes (eds.), pp. 327–350 | Chapter

However, if the subject is extracted, this agreement… read more
