• At least et al: The semantic of scalar modifiers (2007, background): “…the combinatorics of scalar modifiers is based in part on that in Krifka 1999, which in its turn enlists a number of ideas that are widely used in the semantic literature (see Landman 2004 for an in-depth 5 In the literature on plurals our groups are often called ‘individuals’, which we find odd.”
• A "de-Fregean" semantics (and neo-Gricean pragmatics) for modified and unmodified numerals (2015, background): “…I assume that numerals saturate a degree position in the nominal projection, which could be introduced by Hackl’s manyw (we no longer need manys, as we will shortly see), by a silent/deleted adjectival version of many (cf. Landman 2003, 2004), or by the noun itself (Cresswell 1976, Krifka 1989).”
• The polysemy of measurement (2014, background): “The first goal of this paper is to argue that a number of independently treated phenomena -- the ‘measure’ interpretation of pseudopartitives (Landman, 2004), amount relatives (Heim, 1987; Grosu and Landman, 1998), the how many ambiguity -- are different instantiations of the same phenomenon, the…”
• Definiteness effect and the role of the coda in existential constructions (2008, background): “…other is based on the predicative, non-referential, property-denoting or incorporated nature of weak determiners, as a way to obey the licensing conditions imposed by existentials (Milsark 1977, McNally 1992 and 1998, Zamparelli 1996, Van Geenhoven 1998, Bende-Farkas and Kamp 2001, Landman 2004).”
• Mass nouns, vagueness and semantic variation (2010, background): “This fairly traditional claim, whose philosophical roots can, in fact, be traced back to Frege’s and Russell’s conception of numbers, has been recently pursued within frameworks close to the one adopted here in, e.g. Landman (2004), or Ionin and Matushansky (2006).”
