Abstract
With this paper I aim to demonstrate that a look beyond the Aristotelian square of opposition, and a related non-conservative view on logical determiners, contributes to both the understanding of Aristotelian syllogistics as well as to the study of quantificational structures in natural language.

Natural Language SemanticsA theory of focus interpretation
3,180 Citations1992Mats Rooth
A range of semantic and pragmatic applications of the theory are examined, and a unitary principle specifying how the focus semantic value interacts with semantics and pragmatic processes is extracted.

967 Citations1989Jack Hoeksema
The authors of these 11 original essays were charged by the editors to take more than usual heed of alternative analyses offered by other theories, thereby promoting cross-fertilization of syntactic and semantic ideas, concepts, and argumentation.

This paper presents the results of a large-scale comparison study of the effects of language translation and quantification on pressurization in the context of natural language processing.
Oxford University Press eBooksAbstract Objects and the Semantics of Natural Language
261 Citations2013Friederike Moltmann
This book pursues the question of how and whether natural language allows for reference to abstract objects in a fully systematic way and argues for an ontological picture that is very different from that generally taken for granted by philosophers and semanticists alike.

The basic hypothesis is that natural language interpretation can be characterized as an optimization problem and this innovative view on interpretation is shown to account for the crucial role of contextual information while avoiding certain well-known problems associated with compositionality.

Experimental evidence is presented that 4- and 5-year-olds fail to learn a novel non-conservative determiner but succeed in learning a comparable conservative determiner, consistent with the learnability hypothesis.

37 Citations1987Lars G. Johnsen
An analysis of the so called definiteness effect in connection with existential there sentences (ETSs) is presented and an answer to why it is definite noun phrases that typically are discourse anaphors, and not the indefinites is proposed.

The view that no such incompatibilities exist is supported, that the authors witness two ways of approaching the same phenomenon, and that the findings in one perspective may contribute to those obtained in the other.
