Conservative determiners obey the bi-conditional D(A,B) iff D(A, A?B) where A is the restrictor and B is the nuclear scope and thus only predicate over individuals in set A. Results from three online artificial determiner learning studies (N=454) are consistent with a hierarchy of learnability for determiners depending on the set they predicate over where (A?B)>(A-B)>(B-A)>(A?B)c. These results support a learnability-based account of the patterning of determiner typology and exceptions to Conservativity.<\/P>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Upcoming LFRG meetings: <BR><br clear='none'\/>\nDec 8: Luka Crnic, more on &#8220;even&#8221; and different kinds of intensional verbs<BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speakers: Peter Graff, Jeffrey Lim and Sophie Monahan (MIT) Title: The Determiner Complexity Hierarchy (practice talk for LSA) Time: December 1, 1:30PM-3:00PM Location: 32-D831 We present experimental evidence for a hierarchy of complexity for possible denotations of determiners that goes beyond the traditional constraint of conservativity (Keenan and Stavi 1986).
