Meaningful Blurs: the sources of repetition-based plurals in ASL

Philippe Schlenker et al.

Summary: In some sign languages, plurals can be realized through repetitions of a noun, with unpunctuated repetitions often interpreted as 'at least' and punctuated repetitions typically corresponding to 'exactly'. This prevalence of the mechanism could indicate that Universal Grammar not only specifies the abstract properties of grammatical elements, but also their phonological realization in the visual modality.

Musical meaning within Super Semantics

Philippe Schlenker

Summary: This paper discusses the study of music semantics in the field of Super Semantics, arguing that music has an abstract truth-conditional semantics and can draw insights from visual narratives and co-speech gestures. The semantic connection between music and visual narratives helps explain the semantics of mixed visual and musical sequences. The study suggests that new insights can be gained by extending semantics to new objects and drawing new connections among them.

Steps towards a Semantics of Dance

Pritty Patel-Grosz et al.

Summary: This paper examines narrative dance in Bharatanatyam and argues that a semantic approach to dance can be modeled after the formal semantics of visual narrative. The central conclusion is that dance shares properties with visual narrative, music, sign languages, and the gestures of non-signers, in that it uses space to track individuals and portray their actions. This suggests that linguistic investigations beyond language can provide insights into the nature of human cognition and communication devices.

Iconic presuppositions

Philippe Schlenker

Summary: The research shows that highly iconic gestures and classifier predicates in sign language can trigger presuppositions, indicating the existence of a productive triggering algorithm and expanding the scope of cosupposition theory to include conceptual reasons for triggering.
