An Explanation of the Veridical Uniformity Universal
2019
Journal of Semantics
A semantic universal, which we here dub the Veridical Uniformity Universal, has recently been argued to hold of responsive verbs (those that take both declarative and interrogative complements). ...
This paper offers a preliminary explanation of this universal: verbs satisfying it are easier to learn than those that do not. ...

Searching for a universal constraint on the possible denotations of clause-embedding predicates
2021
Semantics and Linguistic Theory
We propose a new universal constraint on the relationship between the meaning of a clause-embedding predicate when it takes an interrogative complement and its meaning when it takes a declarative complement ...
We discuss empirical advantages of this proposal over existing proposals and explore potential counterexamples to P-to-Q Entailment. ...

A Uniform Analysis of 'Before' and 'After'

Semantics and Linguistic Theory
Finally, we have shown that uniformity is not only consistent with the asymmetry in veridicality between the two connectives but it can also lead to a more principled explanation for it and a more adequate ...
It is necessary to characterize veridical and non-veridical readings of before whether one aims for a uniform analysis of the connectives or not. ...

A Uniform Semantics for Declarative and Interrogative Complements
2018
Journal of Semantics
Following Groenendijk and Stokhof (1984) , we pursue a uniform account, in the sense that we take both kinds of complements to be of the same semantic type and we assume a single lexical entry for verbs ...
This approach avoids a number of problems for non-uniform theories, such as the reductive theories of Karttunen (1977) ; Heim (1994); Lahiri (2002) ; Spector and Egré (2015) , among others, and the twin ...

Theism, naturalism, and scientific realism
2017
Epistemology & Philosophy of Science
Some of these principles are metaphysical (e.g., the uniformity of nature) and some are methodological (e.g., the need for repeatable experiments). ...
Today, of course, naturalists reject the influence of theism and prefer to do science on their terms. ...
They are imperfect guides, no doubt, but the fact that they work well at all seems to require an explanation. ...
