2014 Ergativity and the object-oriented representation of verb meaning Events, Arguments, and Aspects: Topics in the Semantics of Verbs, Robering, Klaus (ed.), pp. 65–88 | Article
There is an interesting parallelism between the representation of one- place and two-place operations in object-oriented programming and case marking in ergative languages. The object-oriented approach has proven to be highly suc- cessful in computational system design and analysis. One of its… read more
2012 Implicature of complex sentences in error models Practical Theories and Empirical Practice: A linguistic perspective, Schalley, Andrea C. (ed.), pp. 273–306 | Article
Due to their intensive discussion, implicatures of complex sentences became a kind of benchmark for testing different frameworks of Gricean pragmatics. We propose a novel approach which is based on a communication model with feedback and speaker errors in signal selection. The communication model… read more
2012 Introduction Constraints in Discourse 3: Representing and inferring discourse structure, Benz, Anton, Manfred Stede and Peter Kühnlein (eds.), pp. 1–16 | Article
Discourse analysis is a sub–field of linguistics which can be approached from many different directions, involving a large variety of different methods. In most of the work reported in this book, discourse refers to written monologue. For the purposes of this introduction, we thus largely… read more
2011 On bidirectional Optimality Theory for dynamic contexts Bidirectional Optimality Theory, Benz, Anton and Jason Mattausch (eds.), pp. 249–276 | Article
In this paper we study context–sensitive versions of bidirectional Optimality Theory (OT) which can be used to model online communication. Our guiding examples are taken from anaphora resolution. We discuss a puzzle presented by Jason Mattausch which shows that context–sensitivity may lead into… read more
