    The Acquisition of Distributivity in Pluralities

    No full text
    Sentences with plural expressions can often be interpreted in many ways, as has been established and investigated in formal semantics (see Landman, 1995, Lønning, 1997 for summaries and references). This multitude of interpretations has also been studied in language acquisition (see Avrutin and Thornton, 1994, Brooks and Braine, 1996, Ferenz and Prasada, 2002, Musolino, 2009, Roeper et al., 2011, Syrett and Musolino, submitted, among others). In this paper, we focus on the acquisition of readings available to non-quantificational plural noun phrases. In particular, we focus on the interpretation of definite plural noun phrases (NPs)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
