    Edited by John Searle, F. Kiefer, M. Bierwisch ...

The notion of a speech act is fairly ... Read more

  • Different Kinds of Specificity Across Languages

    Edited by Cornelia Ebert, Stefan Hinterwimmer ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This anthology of papers analyzes a range of specificity markers found in natural languages.

Commonly regarded specific indefinites are by no means a homogenous class, and so this volume fills a gap in our ... Read more

  • Predicates and Their Subjects

    by Susan Rothstein ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    Predicates and their Subjects is an in-depth study of the syntax-semantics interface focusing on the structure of the subject-predicate relation.
