Elizabeth Bogal-Allbritten shows that there is a correlation between the shape of the complement clause and the attitude expressed. She argues against an analysis where\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><i>n\u00edzin<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0is lexically ambiguous, and also against an analysis where\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><i>n\u00edzin\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">has underspecified meaning that is dependent on the context. In her work she argues that this verb denotes situations of general mental attitude, and that this attitude is constrained by the embedded (modal) material. This analysis suggests that sentences with\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><i>n\u00edzin<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0present a limiting case within the landscape predicted by Kratzer\u0092s (2006,2013) and Moulton\u0092s (2009) analysis of English and German attitude reports and verbs of saying. In the end of the talk, I will show some data from Barguzin Buryat, which also has a verb (<\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><i>hanaxa<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">) that can express several attitudes, including\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><i>think<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><i>want,\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">and I will briefly compare it to Navajo\u0092s\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><i>n\u00edzin.<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker:\u00a0Tatiana Bondarenko (MIT) Title:\u00a0Elizabeth Bogal-Allbritten 2016, 2017: Building attitudes in Navajo and beyond Date and time:\u00a0Wednesday, September 05, 1-2 pm Location:\u00a032-D461 Abstract: In this talk, I will present Elizabeth Bogal-Allbritten\u0092s work on attitude reports of belief and desire in Navajo.
