This talk, like most of the literature on CQs, is focused on two puzzles identified by Heim (1979): (i) the ambiguity of quantified CQs, and (ii) the ambiguity of nested CQs. I build on Romero (2005) and Frana (2017) to advance a novel account of these ambiguities that synthesizes these works&#8217; main insights into a general theory of quantification over individual concepts. A key feature of my proposal is that the ambiguities identified by Heim are due to the internal structure of the NPs within CQs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Filipe Hisao Kobayashi (Paris Lodron Universit\u00e4t Salzburg) Title: Structuring Concealed Questions Time: Wednesday, October 2nd, 1pm - 2pm Location: 32-D461 Abstract: Concealed Questions (CQs) are DPs that can be naturally paraphrased as embedded questions, e.g., &#8220;I know [Ann&#8217;s birthday]&#8221; &lt;=&gt; &#8220;I know [what Ann&#8217;s birthday is]&#8221;.
