Embedding epistemic modals in English: A corpus-based study (2012, unknown): “1 For an overview, see Hacquard (2011).”
Recent Progress on Monotonicity (2014, background): “Giannakidou (2011) contains an up-to-date sum-mary of the data and theoretical proposals, as well as references to the literature on NPIs.”
Focus and uninformativity in Yucatec Maya questions (2012, background): “For Groenendijk and Stokhof (1984) (as well as Hamblin-inspired semantics such as Lahiri (2002)), the distinction is made through types: assertions are of type st , whereas questions are of type stt (Lahiri 2002) or sst (Groenendijk and Stokhof 1984).6 (18) Inquisitive Principle…”
Learning to Reason Pragmatically with Cognitive Limitations (2014, methodology): “We first generated the full set G sep of three-target, threefeature reference games that have fully separating equilibria, that is, games that can be resolved to totally unambiguous speaker and listener strategies in the iterated best response (IBR) model of Franke (2009) and Jäger (2007, 2012).”
Quantifiers in Than-Clauses (2010, background): “…theoretical framework like Heim & Kratzer 1998 and begins with specifically Heim’s (2001) version of the theory of comparison promoted in von Stechow 1984 (see also Klein 1991 and Beck 2009 for an exposition and Cresswell 1977; Hellan 1981; Hoeksema 1983; Seuren 1978 for theoretical predecessors).”
Bringing Machine Learning and Compositional Semantics Together (2015, background): “In semantic theories aligned with generative syntax (see Heim & Kratzer 1998), the logical form is an abstract syntactic object that might differ significantly from the surface syntax, especially with regard to the relative scope of semantic operators (Reinhart 1997; Szabolcsi 2009).”
Pragmatic reasoning through semantic inference (2016, background): “Indeed, there are several theoretical proposals which have been developed to account for this generalization (Chierchia et al. 2012, Fox & Spector Forthcoming ).”
Knowledge and implicature: Modeling language understanding as social cognition (2012, background): “Indeed, many thinkers have viewed speech as an action with communicative goals, such as informing a listener (Clark, 1996; Grice, 1975; Levinson, 2000).”
Assessing the Ability of LSTMs to Learn Syntax-Sensitive Dependencies (2016, background): “The distribution of negative polarity items is highly sensitive to semantic factors (Giannakidou, 2011).”
Mass nouns, vagueness and semantic variation (2010, background): “I assume that the exact semantics at the sentential level arises as an implicature (see Horn (1989), Levinson (2000) for discussion; recent relevant developments of the theory of implicatures can be found in Chierchia et al. (2008)).”
