Comment on Finding a Bin in London Town: A Global Challenge by Thi

Even if there’s no bin in London, the city remains clean, which is quite amazing! France is such a dirty place, even with bins everywhere

This happens to me quite often. When I say “I’m French”, people ask afterwards “Do you speak French?”

Interesting.
But I have failed to guess if this is your theory or an already existent one?

Comment on Nominalised APs: λ-calculus and Movement into Argument Position by Maria

Maria — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:57:59 +0000

Hey! Very interesting! But I don’t think it works to account for ‘local’, used in this sense, by keeping it in the adjective position for the reasons that it doesn’t explain how it can have a plural, as in ‘The locals need you’, and it seems that the nominalised ‘local’ cannot have all the meanings you suggest, but that there are only a few different meanings it can have such as a person attached to a local place or “public house in the immediate neighbourhood” (oed). I can’t think of any context where ‘Your local needs you’can be grammatical and mean ‘your local community needs you’, but I might be wrong here. This suggests that ‘local’ can be used as an actual noun rather than occurring with an overt or absent noun. Perhaps an account similar to the one you give works better for nominalised adjectives like ‘fortunate’ or ‘brave’ which can’t be pluralized and can only occur with the definite article? Anyway, it raises a lot of interesting questions about how the same words can be used in predicate and argument position! (The Chierchia article I sent you deals with this)

[...] Blasphemous Semantics: Movement into Argument Position Nominalised APs seem to λ-skip a step when it comes to functional application (FA) . Normal Adjuncts – that APs are esentially identified with – encounter a paradigmatic functional application. However, I am not not confident in distinguishing the FA mode with (i) specifiers, (ii) adjuncts, and (iii) complements. Walking to from University into town, I usually pass a shop with a big sign, saying, “Your Local Needs you.” It made think for a while, and this is what I came up with. Read On. [...]
