“…The question that arises is: how do we distinguish between the two approaches? Data like in (1) lends itself well to both kinds of explanations (see Jeong (2021) vs. Özyıldız 'so' before the verb eliminates the factive inference (to my knowledge, this fact was first observed in (Lee 2019, ex. (16))).…”

“…The main difference between the two phenomena is that it is commonly assumed that in unembedded sentences, verbs like discover entail the truth of their complement, whereas what we see in Korean, Turkish and Azeri is that even in the unembedded contexts, the truth of the complement is not always entailed. Jeong (2021) proposes that factivity-alternating verbs like al-'know/believe' in Korean do not lexically entail the embedded proposition, (8a): they just denote an epistemic relation (K) between the attitude holder and the embedded proposition.…”

“…There are two general ideas about how factivity alternations can emerge, both of which share the intuition that the factive inference is not a lexical presupposition always present in the meaning of the attitude verb. The first idea is that the embedded proposition can become presupposed via general pragmatic mechanisms (Abusch 2002(Abusch , 2009Abrusán 2011Abrusán , 2016Jeong 2021;Simons et al 2017;Tonhauser 2016, a.o. ): what we presuppose is dependent on the information structure of the sentence, in particular on the alternatives to the sentences that we are considering.…”

Factivity alternations received at least two kinds of explanations in the literature: there are approaches that attribute the two readings to two different LFs and approaches that derive the presence/absence of a factive inference by appealing to general pragmatic mechanisms. In this paper I investigate verbs displaying two different kinds of factivity alternations in Azeri and argue for the former view of how factivity alternations emerge.

When it comes to language, it’s not just the grammatical structure and the literal meaning of words that matter. The way a predicate imposes inferences on its propositional arguments is crucial to understanding the true meaning of a message. However, these inferences are influenced by many factors, such as prosody, world knowledge, speakers’ expectations regarding language use, situational stereotypes, and other implicit or contextual elements.In this paper, we examine the inferential status of the verbs referred to by Karttunen as “implicative verbs”. On the one hand, two-way implicative verbs, and on the other, one-way implicative verbs. The latter have been little studied from this perspective. This will lead us to highlight the fundamental role, too often forgotten, of prosody and focus/theme in this type of analysis and in determining the inferential status of predicates. Our analyses show that, once prosody has been considered, the classification of theoretically possible verb inferences accepted until now needs to be modified. We do not have 4 groups of one-way implicative verbs, as has been argued, but 2, namely the groups: [+/+/– // –/–] [affirmed > true or false // denied > false] of the type être capable, pouvoir and [+/+/– // –/+] [affirmed > true or false // denied > true] of the type hésiter à.The remaining two groups, considered as distinct and autonomous one-way implicative verbs with the suggested characteristics: [+ + // – +/–] [affirmed > true // denied > true or false] of the type forcer to and [+ – // – +/–] [affirmed > false // denied > true or false] of the type refuser de, belong to the canonical groups of two-way implicative verbs, respectively: forcer à to the group of verbs of the type réussir à: [+/+ // –/–] [affirmed > true // denied > false] and refuser de to the group of verbs of the type oublier de: [+/– // –/+] affirmed > false // denied > true].Naturally, this classification differentiation, important as it is, only reflects the different behaviour of certain types of predicate, and this is the most important element of these analyses with a view to automating the recognition of predicate inferences.

“…Among these exceptions, we first find communicative and doxastic predicates that are non-veridical in declarative, but veridical in interrogative embedding. Some examples include Turkish bildir-'inform' and Polish wyjaśniać 'explain' (see also Özyıldız 2019, Bondarenko 2020, Jeong 2020.…”

Multilingual models have been widely used for cross-lingual transfer to low-resource languages. However, the performance on these languages is hindered by their underrepresentation in the pretraining data. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel multilingual training technique based on teacherstudent knowledge distillation. In this setting, we utilize monolingual teacher models optimized for their language. We use those teachers along with balanced (sub-sampled) data to distill the teachers' knowledge into a single multilingual student. Our method outperforms standard training methods in lowresource languages and retains performance on high-resource languages. 1 5 6 See Section D.2 in the Appendix for more information.
