@article{Greenberg_2019, title={Additivity in the Domain of Eventualities (or: Oliver Twist’s ’more’)}, volume={14}, url={https://ojs.ub.uni-konstanz.de/sub/index.php/sub/article/view/465}, abstractNote={<p>This paper examines the English additive particle <em>more</em> (<em>more<sub>add</sub></em>), in both its ’nominal’ and ’verbal’ uses (as in <em>I read 3 more books</em> and <em>I ran 3 kilometers more</em>, respectively). It makes a number of novel observations, showing that ’nominal’ <em>more<sub>add</sub></em>, obeys constraints in both the nominal and the verbal domains and suggests that this particle denotes a derived additive measure function on eventualities, using a homomorphism form eventualities to their individual participants. The analysis can account for a number of distributional and interpretational constraints on nominal <em>more<sub>add</sub></em>. The paper further shows how the analysis can be extended to verbal <em>more<sub>add</sub></em> and proposes that it denotes an additive measure function too, which can be either <em>derived</em>, using a homomorphism (measuring the run time, or path of eventualities), or <em>non-derived</em>, (measuring the cardinality of eventualities directly). The analysis can account for a number of aspectual constraints on verbal <em>more<sub>add</sub></em>.</p>}, journal={Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung}, author={Greenberg, Yael}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={151–167} }
