“…The view of attitudes that this requires is distinctly non-classical. Following most directly Kratzer 2006;Moulton 2009, attitude predicates are neo-Davidsonian properties of eventualities that have content, and clausal complements as well as about-PPs are also properties of such eventualities.…”

“…I now return briefly to Moulton's (2009) proposal that about-PPs provide a res for an attitude report. Moulton's main argument for this view is that about can co-occur with that-clauses.…”

“…(I spell out the details for the verbal case in §3.5.) Following Moltmann 2003 andMoulton 2009, this idea can be straightforwardly extended to content nouns. A noun like belief is a property of (potentially abstract) entities that have content.…”

“…I argue here that the best account involves not the classical Hintikkan relational treatment, but something more exotic. In particular, following Kratzer 2006;Moulton 2009;Anand & Hacquard 2009Hacquard 2010 most directly, (see also Moltmann 1989Moltmann , 2003Moltmann , 2013Ginzburg 1995a inter alia) I argue that attitude predicates are properties of eventualities that have content. 'Arguments' to attitude predicates tell us about that content intersectively, rather than relationally.…”

“…My proposal is that this is best accounted for by adopting two ideas from recent work on attitude ascriptions (Kratzer 1998(Kratzer , 2006Moulton 2009;Anand & Hacquard 2009Hacquard 2010; see also Moltmann 1989Moltmann , 2003Moltmann , 2013. The first is that attitude verbs are neo-Davidsonian predicates.…”

I provide a compositional account of about-PPs in combination with attitude predicates and content nouns, and as a predicate. The account requires that attitude predicates are properties of content-bearing eventualities, rather than relations that take propositions (or other clause denotations) as arguments. I argue further that the relevant notion of 'content' must be extremely general, allowing for question-like, proposition-like, and hybrid meanings.

Clitic dislocations and clitics in French and Greek

This article focuses on Clitic Left Dislocation of XPs in French and Greek. By examining the interpretive properties of these XPs, primarily reconstruction properties, it concludes that they have been displaced from their first merge position via movement into (sometimes) a succession of hierarchically organized middle-field positions first above vP then above T and on to the left periphery via standard A or A-bar steps (no mixed options are needed). Furthermore, pronominal clitics have long raised questions regarding their surface distribution (external merge in situ only or not), and their interpretive properties. As these XPs are doubled by clitics, it becomes possible to allocate properties of the doublet (clitic, XP) to its individual members. This article concludes that these clitics all occur high above T, in designated positions and that clitics do not have referential import, only the XPs that double them do.
