Paper with @myp.bsky.social on agreement variation in Portuguese is out! What if ϕ-features don't come in a single bundle, and "uninterpretable" features are actually interpretable along a socio-expressive dimension of meaning? We also propose a register calculus! revistes.uab.cat/isogloss/art...

Unifying modifiers, classifiers and demonstratives
We argue that the distributional properties of modifiers, classifiers and demonstratives with respect to nouns in Mandarin Chinese motivate a head-functor approach(Van Eynde 2006), where numeral-classifier-noun sequences are analyzed as leftbranching structures with the noun as the head. This approach explains the distributional similarities between all prenominal categories by unifying their combinatorial properties under a single phrasal schema while also accounting for theirdifferences by means of selectional constraints and a hierarchy of marking values. We also analyze classifiers themselves as special kinds of noun. All in all, ouranalysis entails that nominal complexes in Mandarin Chinese are fundamentallydifferent from those found in languages with dedicated specifiers (e.g. determinersin a language like English), suggesting a two-way typology that is parallel to theNP/DP parameter proposed in the minimalist tradition (Bošković 2007, i.a.).

I enjoyed this interview very much, which says something coming from someone who doesn't fancy them!

🎯"antithetical to the whole enterprise of academia and science"
"Prototypical pseudo-scientific strategy."
"We don't read any more"
"uniqueness is filtered out"
"regurgitating the past" 🎯💣
Oh, this was so wholesome: @irisvanrooij.bsky.social and I went on @disruptedscience.bsky.social to talk about these topics! So much fun, if I do say so myself. 🖤

Introduction post. Hi. I'm an academic doing mathematical modeling of meaning, right now mostly social meanings, literature and art, and the edges of linguistic possibility. I do activism around LGBT issues and immigration, organize parties, do art stuff. Mostly in Barcelona, also Tokyo and Berlin.

#OTD 132 years ago, Lucien Tesnière (1893-1954) was born 🎉 A specialist in Slavic languages, he is best known today as a pioneer of Dependency Grammar who introduced such concepts as verb valency, arguments, adjuncts, and head-initial and head-final structures.
