• BLiMP: A Benchmark of Linguistic Minimal Pairs for English (2020, background): “The semantic phenomena that models struggle with are usually attributed in current theories to a presupposition failure or contradiction arising from semantic composition or pragmatic reasoning (e.g., Chierchia, 2013; Ward and Birner, 1995; Geurts and Nouwen, 2007).”
• BLiMP: The Benchmark of Linguistic Minimal Pairs for English (2019, unknown): “…semantic phenomena where models struggle (NPI S and Q UANTIFIERS ), violations are often attributed in semantic theories to a presup-position failure or contradiction arising from semantic composition or pragmatic reasoning (e.g., Chierchia, 2013; Ward and Birner, 1995; Geurts and Nouwen, 2007).”
• Nudging sustainable consumption: The use of descriptive norms to promote a minority behavior in a realistic online shopping environment (2015, background): “These polarity phenomena are pervasive in human communication of both verbal and numerical quantities (Geurts & Nouwen, 2007; Hilton, 2010; Hilton, Schmeltzer, & Geurts, 2011; Sanford, Fay, Stewart, & Moxey, 2002).”
• The universal density of measurement (2007, unknown): “However, we think there are good arguments in favor of independent accounts of (b) and (c), see Fox (2004: class 5, in progress), and for additional arguments pertaining to (b) (see Geurts and Nouwen, 2005 ), as well as Hackl (2000).”
• A "de-Fregean" semantics (and neo-Gricean pragmatics) for modified and unmodified numerals (2015, background): “These kinds of facts have led a number of authors to develop accounts of these modifiers within a focus/alternatives semantics (see e.g. Krifka 1998, Geurts & Nouwen 2007, Cohen & Krifka 2010), with recent work by Coppock & Brochhagen (2013) geared specifically towards showing how this kind of…”
