Disjunctive and Conjunctive Korean Particle Na
Proceedings of Workshop on Altaic Formal Linguistics 17
This paper proposes an analysis of the Korean disjunction particle na, which can also function as a conjunction particle and a universal quantifier. The analysis builds on Mitrović and Sauerland's (2014, 2016) account of the behavior of the mu particle.
Dynamics and alternatives in unconditionals
Proceedings of Sinn und bedeutung 28 [PDF]
Joint work with Yusuke Yagi and Yu Hashimoto
Japanese unconditional sentences involve the Bishop sentence and the sage plant sentence configurations. This observation motivates the dynamic analysis of Japanese unconditional sentences, as we proposed in this paper. The resulting analysis integrates update semantics with alternative semantics.
