In this paper I will examine N+N juxtapositions in Polish, such as kobieta anioł (woman angel) ‘an angel of a woman’, praca marzenie (job dream) ‘dream job’, dziecko geniusz (child genius) ‘prodigy child’, and kierowca cham (driver lout) ‘a lout of a driver’. I will demonstrate that they exhibit properties of expressive combinations, as discussed for English by Potts (2007) and for German by Meibauer (2013). It will be proposed that Polish expressive N+N juxtapositions under analysis fall into two groups. Juxtapositions belonging to the first group, e.g. kierowca cham ‘a lout of a driver’, behave like coordinate compound-like units. Juxtapositions which form the second group of expressive complexes, such as kobieta anioł ‘an angel of a woman’ and praca marzenie ‘dream job’, can be treated as attributive-appositive (ATAP) combinations (in Scalise and Bisetto’s 2009 classification). The occurrence of a cline between coordinate and attributive multi-word units is postulated.
在本文中,我将研究波兰语中的N+N并列词,如kobieta anioov(女天使)“女人的天使”,praca marzenie(工作梦想)“梦想的工作”,dziecko geniusz(天才儿童)“神童”,kierowca cham(司机的孩子)“司机的孩子”。我将证明它们表现出表达组合的特性,正如Potts(2007)和Meibauer(2013)对英语和德语的讨论一样。本文将波兰语的表现性N+N并置分析分为两类。并置属于第一组,例如kierowca cham ' a out of a driver ',表现得像坐标复合单位。并列构成第二组表达性复合体,如kobieta anioov“女人的天使”和praca marzenie“梦想的工作”,可以被视为属性-同位语(ATAP)组合(在Scalise和Bisetto 2009年的分类中)。假设座标多词单位与定语多词单位之间存在一定的差距。

The paper presents an analysis of three pronouns used to refer to a right-peripheral complement clause in Russian. It is demonstrated that two of them exhibit properties associated with expletives, which is unexpected at first sight, Russian being a (partial) null subject language. However, these pronouns are shown to have a discourse-related function rather than a syntactic one. The third pronoun under discussion, though used in the same gram-matical context, turns out to be referential. The paper offers an account for this fact and proposes that the parameters that have proved to be relevant for differentiating expletives and non-expletives in Russian should be regarded as general criteria for expletiveness.

With the multiplication of various functional projections, syntactic structures became very complex entities. Approaches like Cartography (e.g. Cinque and Rizzi 2008) went one step further than most other approaches, proposing that each sentence comprises of a number of universal, strictly ordered functional projections. In the noun phrase, the strictly ordered functional projections are said to be responsible not only for the relative order of numerals, demonstratives and nouns (cf. Cinque 2005), but also for the universal order of various types of adjectives (cf. Hetzron 1978; Sproat and Shih 1991; Cinque 1994; Scott 2002, etc.). Cinque and Rizzi (2008) discuss possible origins of the many hierarchies of functional projections and suggest that they might derive from general cognition. If cognition and its restrictions are behind the hierarchy of functional projections, then the order of projections hosting adjectives should be reflected in various non-linguistic cognitive processes. We designed several experiments to test this hypothesis. Our experiments did not confirm our hypothesis; but as we have also identified problems in the design of our experiments, our results do not warrant a clear rejection of the hypothesis either.
随着各种功能投影的增加,句法结构成为非常复杂的实体。像Cartography这样的方法(例如Cinque和Rizzi 2008)比大多数其他方法更进一步,提出每个句子由许多普遍的、严格有序的功能投影组成。在名词短语中,严格有序的功能投射被认为不仅负责数字、指示物和名词的相对顺序(cf. Cinque 2005),而且还负责各种类型形容词的普遍顺序(cf. Hetzron 1978;spproat and Shih 1991;五1994;Scott 2002等)。Cinque和Rizzi(2008)讨论了许多功能投射层次的可能起源,并认为它们可能源于一般认知。如果认知及其限制在功能投射层次的背后,那么承载形容词的投射顺序应该反映在各种非语言认知过程中。我们设计了几个实验来验证这个假设。我们的实验并没有证实我们的假设;但是,由于我们也发现了实验设计中的问题,我们的结果也不能保证明确拒绝假设。

This two-part paper is concerned with the processing of two types of compound future in Polish, with infinitival and participial complements. In the first part we present a design and predictions of an ERP study whose goal was to monitor the EEG correlates of two types of temporal mismatches: i) tense mismatches between the future auxiliary and the past tense modifier wczoraj (‘yesterday’) relative to the jutro (‘tomorrow’) baseline and ii) aspect mismatches between the future auxiliary and the perfective aspect of the lexical complement relative to the imperfective baseline. In addition, we wanted to assess whether matching tense specifications in different words of a sentence can cause grammatical illusions. To this aim, we tested whether the presence of the adverb wczoraj (‘yesterday’) (specified for [past]) could give rise to an illusion of grammaticality for perfectives as l -participles (allegedly [past] marked), but not as infinitives (not having any [past] speci-fication). The study and its results as well as a general discussion of the findings will be presented in Part II of the paper.

This article reports on a study into epistemic strategies used in the trial on the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 air crash which took the lives of many high-ranking Polish officials including the President of Poland. It follows the KUB model proposed by Bongelli and Zuczkowski (2008), in which three epistemic stances are distinguished: Knowing, Unknowing and Believing. Taking into account the political context of the trial, the study focuses on the ways in which the witness, Poland’s former Prime Minister Donald Tusk, communicates his knowledge (certainty), unknowledge (neither certainty nor uncertainty) and belief (uncertainty). As the data reveal, when referring to the circumstances of the crash itself, the witness most willingly communicates unknowledge and belief while his declarations of certitude (knowledge) concern mostly procedural matters which are not directly related to the crash. As regards the explicit marking of (un)knowledge with the verb wiedzieć (‘know’), both wiem (‘I know’) and nie wiem (‘I don’t know’) are used rather sparingly. By contrast, phrases including references to the witness’s memory (e.g. to, co mam w pamięci [‘what I can remember’]) – marking either unknowledge or limited/uncertain knowledge (belief) – resurface as the witness’s preferred strategy. The data also demonstrate frequent co-occurrences of ‘knowing,’ ‘unknowing’ and ‘believing’ markers, reducing the overall degree of certainty communicated by the speaker. In sum, the study reveals how Poland’s former Prime Minister skillfully avoids unequivocal or categorical answers and conveys a low degree of certainty in his testimony.
本文报告了2010年波兰空军图-154空难中使用的认知策略的研究,该空难夺去了包括波兰总统在内的许多波兰高级官员的生命。它遵循Bongelli和Zuczkowski(2008)提出的KUB模型,其中区分了三种认知立场:知道、不知道和相信。正如数据显示的那样,当提到坠机本身的情况时,证人最愿意表达不知道和相信,而他的确定性声明(知识)主要涉及与坠机没有直接关系的程序问题。至于用动词wiedzieki(“知道”)明确标记(un)知识,wiem(“我知道”)和nie wiem(“我不知道”)的使用都相当少。相比之下,包含引用证人记忆的短语(例如,to, co mam w pamięci['我能记住的'])-标记不知道或有限/不确定的知识(信念)-重新成为证人首选的策略。数据还显示,“知道”、“不知道”和“相信”标记经常同时出现,降低了说话者传达的总体确定性。

The paper argues that sonority on the one hand and other segmental properties such as place of articulation (labiality etc.) and laryngeal properties (voicing etc.) on the other hand are different in kind and must therefore not be represented alike: implementations on a par e.g. as features ([±voc], [±son], [±lab], [±voice] etc.) are misled. Arguments come from a number of broad, cross-linguistically stable facts concerning visibility of items below and above the skeleton in phonological and morphological processing: sonority, but no other segmental property, is taken into account when syllable structure is built (upward visibility); processes located above the skeleton (infixation, phonologically conditioned allomorphy, stress, tone, positional strength) do make reference to sonority, but never to labiality, voicing etc. (downward visibility). Approaches are discussed where sonority is encoded as structure, rather than as primes (features or Elements). In some cases not only sonority but also other segmental properties are structuralized, a solution that does not do justice to the insight that sonority and melody are different in kind. Also, the approaches that structuralize sonority are not concerned with the question how the representations they entertain come into being: representations are not contained in the phonetic signal that is the input to the linguistic system, nor do they fall from heaven – they are built by some computation. It is therefore concluded that what really segregates sonority and melody is their belonging to two distinct computational systems (modules in the Fodorian sense) which operate over distinct vocabularies and produce distinct structure: sonority primes are used to build syllable structure, while other computations take other types of primes as an input. The computation carrying out a palatalization for example works with melodic primes. The segment, then, is a lexical recording that has different compartments containing domain-specific primes [, ] segment . This is also the case of the morpheme, which hosts three compartments [, , ] morpheme .

The Hungarian inferential-evidential expression szerint ‘according to somebody/some-thing’ is highly multifaceted. It can be furnished with person and number suffixes. It can occur in all major sentence types but with different person features and/or collocations. It can be associated with a quotative meaning and can express some kind of judgment in declarative sentences and questions, too. Imperative sentences can serve as a source of its further uses: it can be interpreted both as advice and as an expression of the speaker’s firm stance typically based on moral concerns. We intend to account for this extremely complex distribution with respect to person, attitude, sentence type and collocation in a highly sys-tematic and explanatorily adequate manner in the “cognitively viable” representationalist dynamic discourse- and mind-representation theory ReALIS. We attempt to carry out this task in a way that sheds new light on how such expressions make language a basic means of achieving epistemic control and intersubjective alignment.
