An Experimental Approach to Adverbial Modification
- the Proceedings of the XPrag 2007 Conference (Berlin). Chemla, E.: this volume, Transparency Theory: Empirical Issues and Psycholinguistics Routes
"... Inferences driven by adverbial modification received important attention in various recent ap-proaches of presuppositions as implicatures (e.g., Schlenker 2008, Simons 2001). The goal of this paper is to compare adverbial modification to presupposition and (indirect) scalar implicature. A common fea ..."

Evaluative Adverbial Modification in the Adjectival Projection
, 2004
"... One of the principal analytical challenges of adverbial modification is how to account for the intricate and often subtle correlation between an adverb’s syntactic position and its interpretation. Why, to consider one familiar class of examples, should subject-oriented readings be associated with an ..."

Learning about the Structure of Scales: Adverbial Modification and the Acquisition of the Semantics of Gradable Adjectives
, 2007
"... This work investigates children’s early semantic representations of gradable adjectives (GAs) and proposes that infants perform a probabilistic analysis of the input to learn about abstract differences within this category. I first demonstrate that children as young as age three distinguish between ..."

corpus analysis, I demonstrate that statistically significant patterns of adverbial modification are available to the language learner: restricted adverbs (e.g., completely) are more likely than non-restricted adverbs (e.g., very) to select for maximal GAs with bounded scales. Non-maximal GAs, which
Discovering Polarity for Ambiguous and Objective Adjectives through Adverbial Modification
"... The field of opinion mining has emerged in recent years as an exciting challenge for computational linguistics: investigating how humans express subjective judgments through linguistic means paves the way for automatic recognition and summarization of opinionated texts, with the possibility of deter ..."

In this paper it will be proposed a corpus analysis of adverbially modified ambiguous (e.g. fast, rich) and objective
Author manuscript, published in "JSM 2010 Journées Sémantique et Modélisation Conference on Semantics and Formal Modelling, Nancy: France (2010)" On the compositionality of temporal locating adverbial modification
, 2014
"... Semantic puzzles raised by temporal locating adverbials —e.g., ce soir-là (that evening), à huit heures (at eight), pendant la réunion (during the meeting), deux jours plus tard (two days later) — have been less focused on than those involving temporal quantificational or duration adverbials —à tout ..."

Measure DP Adverbials: Measure Phrase Modification in VP
, 2004
"... Abstract This paper seeks to establish that measure phrases in the extended AP and PP—such as six feet tall and twenty minutes before midnight—have a direct counterpart in the verbal domain. These verbal measure phrases, exempli-fied in English in e.g. He slept several hours, constitute a natural cl ..."

This constellation of characteristics is shown to follow naturally from the view that these expressions

Building on the proposed analysis, we also discuss the difference between the two types of desideratives in terms of adverbial modification

Rather, these correlates take the form of labels on edges (see the syntactic units previously illustrated) or of parts of complex labels on nodes (such as values of ..."
