Mandarin transitive comparatives and the grammar of measurement (2012, methodology): “…languages, it is generally the case that the corresponding comparative form allows them if the predicate uses a scale with a conventional measuring system and the language has measure phrases in the first place (Schwarzschild (2005); see also Svenonius and Kennedy (2006); Sawada and Grano (2011)).”
The polysemy of measurement (2014, methodology): “Recall that Schwarzschild (2005) was interested in particular syntactic configurations that seemed to regulate the (non)monotonicity of the salient dimension of measurement.”
Vagueness and grammar: the semantics of relative and absolute gradable adjectives (2007, background): “I conclude from these observations that imprecise uses of absolute adjectives in the positive form do not call into question the central descriptive claim that such expressions have truth conditions that make reference to fixed (maximal or minimal) standards of comparison.”
Degree modification of gradable nouns: size adjectives and adnominal degree morphemes (2009, background): “…position: (62) As (62) reflects, I will interpret the measure phrase as a property (again departing from Svenonius and Kennedy 2006 and Kennedy and Levin 2008 and earlier versions of this approach; for a sustained argument for treating measure phrases as predicates, see Schwarzschild 2005).”
