I argue that Absolute Atomicity requires some unnatural assumptions when sub-atomic quantification is taken into consideration. I advocate an alternative approach, &#8216;Relative Atomicity&#8217;, where atomicity is only introduced in the course of semantic composition.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Yasutada Sudo (UCL) \u00a0 Title: Relative Atomicity Lecture 1: Absolute Atomicity and distributivity Lecture 2: Mass-count, distributivity, and classifiers in Relative Atomicity \u00a0 Times:\u00a0 Lecture 1: April 16, 2025: 12:30-2pm Lecture 2: April 17, 2025: 12:30-2pm \u00a0 Location: 32-D461 \u00a0 Abstract: The standard model-theoretic approach to nominal number assumes that a model comes with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-talks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17043"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17043\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17062,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17043\/revisions\/17062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
