The distribution and category status of adjectives and adverbs (2010, background): “(xi) Languages without an open class of adjectives do not have an open class of adverbs (Baker 2003) The language which Baker uses to illustrate this claim is Mohawk, which expresses adjectival and related adverbal concepts by means of stative verbs.”
Phases beyond Clauses (2013, background): “(For other ‘no DP’ analyses of at least some such languages, see Fukui 1986, 1988, Corver 1992, Zlatić 1997, Chierchia 1998, Cheng and Sybesma 1999, Willim 2000, Baker 2003, Despić 2011, and Takahashi 2011, among others.)”
Antisymmetry and the lexicon (2009, background): “If nouns never project,29 then in: (23) the fact that they’re here that they’re here cannot be a complement (or specifier) of fact if fact is a noun (an x).30 ------------------------------------ 27 This agrees with Baker (2003, 23) on verbs vs. nouns.”
Deriving Greenberg's Universal 20 and Its Exceptions (2005, unknown): “I would, nonetheless, like to keep to that assumption, thinking of Baker 2003:chap.”
'Natural Concepts' in the Spatial Topologial Domain--Adpositional Meanings in Crosslinguistic Perspective: An Exercise in Semantic Typology (2003, background): “There is even fundamental disagreement over whether adpositions are functional or lexical categories (see Baker 2003:303-25 for discussion).”
How Do Verbs Get Their Names? Denominal verbs, Manner Incorporation, and the Ontology of Verb Roots in English (2010, unknown): “4 Hale and Keyser actually propose a more complicated representation than this, where the predication of the small clause is not direct, but is rather mediated by a lower V head, rather like Bower’s (1993) or Baker (2003)’s PredP.”
Restricting noun incorporation: root movement (2007, background): “(46) qakutu-ruk-tunga white-want-intr.part.1s I want a white one (Qamani'tuarmiutut) If we assume along with Baker (2003) that nominal and adjectives are distinct categories, then the incorporation of adjectival ROOTs shows that the process of NI in Inuktitut extends beyond the category nominal.”
Pseudo Noun Incorporation as Covert Noun Incorporation: Linearization and Crosslinguistic Variation (2014, background): “(Compare Baker 2003: 149–151 on the need to use head movement to interpret AP and VP complements in various languages, given that these categories cannot be true arguments and can only be interpreted by forming complex predicates along the lines of (23)).13 Putting this in a slightly more general…”
