Citations in the corpus
- Wholesale Late Merger: Beyond the A/ Distinction (2009, methodology): “Notice that a violation of Condition C is also circumvented by extraposition of the comparative complement, as Bhatt and Pancheva (2004) observe.”
- Crosslinguistic variation in comparison constructions (2009, background): “S is d-smart) > g(c) c. c := the standard of intelligence made salient by comparison to Joe := Joe's degree of intelligence See Beck, Oda & Sugisaki and Oda (2008) for further discussion and empirical motivation of the analysis.”
- Architecture and Blocking (2008, background): “We assume, with many authors who concentrate on the syntax and semantics of comparatives, that the structure of the comparative is (84) (see Bhatt and Pancheva 2004 for a recent discussion); in this structure, the Root moves to a by head movement.”
- Direct Comparisons: Resurrecting the Direct Analysis of Phrasal Comparatives (2007, background): “First, we assume that the overt position of than marks the scope of the degree operator -er (Bhatt and Pancheva 2004 and Williams 1974).”
- Vagueness and grammar: the semantics of relative and absolute gradable adjectives (2007, background): “…tii), and comparatives and other degree constructions saturate the degree argument of the predicate; see Kennedy (1999), Heim (2000), Meier (2003), Bhatt and Pancheva (2004) and Neeleman, Van de Koot, and Doetjes (2004) for discussion of the issues at stake in choosing between the two approaches.”
- Reduced and unreduced phrasal comparatives (2011, background): “In cases where reduction operations are unavailable, a 3-place -er is forced, as argued for Hindi-Urdu in Bhatt and Takahashi (2007). But reduction operations do not fully determine the availability of 3-place -er.”
