- Formal Grammar. 14th International Conference, FG 2009
, 2011
"... Abstract. In this paper I shall propose an analysis of the Hausa bound genitive marker which unifies its use in possessives and partitives with that in gerundive and pre-nominal adjectival constructions (see Newman, 2000 and Jaggar (2001) for a detailed overview). I shall provide evidence that the b ..."

Genitives, Types and Sorts
"... The topic. The genitive construction in Russian is used for many different relations. Our topic is the interplay between the semantics of the genitive construction(s), the lexical semantics of the head noun, the semantics of the genitive NP, and context. Our thesis is that many restrictions on felic ..."

Computing Genitive Superlatives
"... Superlative expressions (such as “the tallest boy”) single out entities by comparing them to others with respect to a set of properties. Therefore, a proper semantics for a superlative expression requires a correct computation of the comparison set. In most of the cases, this can be done in a compos ..."

When superlative adjectives occur in prenominal genitive constructions (such as “his most expensive car”, this isn’t so straightforward anymore. Three solutions are proposed, that all change the underlying syntactic structure of the genitive

On Genitive and ‘Stability’: Evidence from Russian
"... This paper is a further development of [Rakhilina 2002], which was concerned with the semantic nature of the relationship between two objects expressed by genitive case in Russian.
