The focus will be on \u0092that\u0092-clauses that modify nouns like \u0091rumor\u0092 or function as arguments of verbs of speech like \u0092say\u0092. I will look at the internal make-up of those\u00a0clauses, and investigate how they combine with nouns and verbs. The key to understanding their properties, so I say, is to recognize left-peripheral modal operators \u0096 maybe in combination with reportative evidentials \u0096 as their most important building blocks.\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Angelika Kratzer (UMass Amherst) Title: \u0093On Sayings and Rumors\u0094 When: Friday, December 5th, 3:30-5pm\u00a0 Where: 32-141 \u00a0 Abstract: The work presented in this talk is part of a bigger project that tries to derive the distinctive properties of attitude ascriptions and speech reports from a pool of recurring building blocks that combine and\u00a0recombine to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17719","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\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17719"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17719\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17738,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17719\/revisions\/17738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
