PROBLEMS IN COMMUNICATION
The following useful phrases in English are taken from a notorious
Portuguese-English phrasebook which the author, unable to find a
Portuguese-English dictionary, compiled using Portuguese-German,
German-French, and then French-English dictionaries (courtesy of an
'informed source' Spanish & Portuguese Department):
Flat, hard eggs and pig strips for to eat
Do to disturb us not
How to the port of aeroplanes?
Dress your hairs
Do you cut the hairs?
Do you taxi to the port of aeroplanes?
PROVERBS:
The stone as roll do not heap up of grass
To hatch and the chickens not count
The dog then bark not bite
A bird with hand is better than two bushes
A horse he is given without into the teeth is looked
Dialogue 7: For to ride a taxi
'You man! The driver of taxis. Stop before me that may enter. Your
ignorance to cause my wetness! No coins for your pocket, man. To my
place does she travel...?'
AN ANECDOTE:
A fellow there was, with thirst, crawling at the desert, who did meet
on the man of selling. Try to him a tie to sell. This fellow does
refuse and to crawling he goes. At a time that is later a man of
selling that appears to him a tie to sell. He says "No." To crawling
he does return. A place of drinking he does find where he cannot for
his tie of lacking.

Determiner Quantifiers and Focus
Helen de Hoop
BCN, University of Groningen
There is an ongoing debate in the literature on the kind of part focus
plays in the determination of the domain of quantification of
different types of quantifiers, such as adverbs, determiners, and
"only" (see e.g., Partee 1991). In this talk I will mainly be
concerned with determiners, for which it is not so clear yet to what
extent focus contributes to the determination of the quantificational
structure.
With respect to quantificational adverbs, it is well-known that
they are rather flexible in their argument selection and that focus
can function as a guide in this process (cf. De Swart 1991). In the
case of focus-sensitive operators, such as "only", it can also be
argued that the domain of quantification is restricted by the set of
alternatives to the focussed constituent (cf. Rooth 1992). Yet,
Vallduvi (1991) shows that strong contextual pressure can force a
reading where the argument of "only" is not provided by focus, which
supports his position that focus is a real information-packaging
primitive that has no place in semantics. He supplies a similar
argument in the case of adverbs of quantification.
An issue that has been brought up in the literature with
respect to domain selection of determiners concerns the fact that
focus at an adverbial phrase in the second argument of a determiner
(normally given by the VP) will force the non-focussed rest of the VP
to get interpreted within the first argument, the restrictor. This
process can even give rise to truth-conditional differences. This can
easily be explained if we make use of the context set variable that is
present in the restrictor of determiners (Westerstahl 1985). More
specifically, in De Hoop and Sola (in prep.), we hypothesize that
focus can determine the context set variable "X" in a uniform way. A
focussed constituent supplies a C-set (following Rooth 1992). Our
claim is that "X" can be equated with the generalized union over the
C-set of a focussed constituent (see also Geilfu 1993).
It was also pointed out in the literature that focus within the
first argument part of the determiner can never make any
truth-conditional differences. This falls out nicely from our
analysis, as I will show. We then have to account for certain examples
with "few" and "many" for which it has been argued in the literature
that focus in the first argument does have a truth-conditional import
(Herburger 1992). I will argue that Herburger's focus-affected reading
is nothing but an ordinary cardinal reading, which can be accounted
for by taking into consideration the vague, heavily context-dependent
nature of "few" and "many" (see also De Hoop and Sola, in prep.).
Herburger's focus-affected reading will turn out to be a special case
of a cardinal reading, where the function of focus is to express
contrastiveness within contextually given alternatives.

THE STATUS OF ENGLISH AFTER COLONIZATION:
PROBLEMS OF PREDICTORS AND CRITERIA IN CROSS-POLITY RESEARCH
Joshua Fishman
Yeshiva University and Stanford University
The relative assets and debits of three different methods will be
illustrated (cross-tabulations, cumulative multiple correlations and
rankings/ratings performed on case-study data). The data utilized are
derived from an ongoing study (with Andrew W. Conrad and Alma
Rubal-Lopez), prompted to some degree by Robert Phillipson's
LINGUISTIC IMPERIALISM (1982), but essentailly a follow-up of my
earlier THE SPREAD OF ENGLISH (1976, with Robert L. Cooper and Andrew

-- SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS: The Research Institute for Language and
Speech (OTS), Utrecht University, organizes a Workshop on Optionality
to be held on September 1-2, 1995. Given a general notion of economy,
free word order as well as other optional phenomena are problematic in
current linguistic theory. Nevertheless, optionality is widely
attested in natural language, not only synchronically, but also
diachronically and in language acquisition. We would therefore like to
invite papers that deal with the theoretical problem of optionality
>From either of these perspectives. In addition to 4 (invited) keynote
talks, we have 12 slots for 35 min. papers. Please send 5 copies of
an anonymous two-page abstract, one camera-ready version and a 3x5"
card with name(s) of author(s), title of paper, affiliation, phone
number and e-mail address to
Workshop on Optionality,
Research Institute for Language and Speech (OTS),
Utrecht University,
Trans 10,
3512 JK Utrecht,
Netherlands.
We hope to be able to (partially) reimburse speakers. The deadline for
submissions is MAY 1, 1995. Submissions by e-mail or fax will not be
accepted. For a more detailed description of the topic of the
workshop, please contact neeleman@let.ruu.nl or weerman@let.ruu.nl.

-- USC: The University of Southern California anticipates having one
NIMH funded post doc in the psycholinguistics area available beginning
July 1, 1995. The psycholinguistics group at USC includes Mark
Seidenberg, Maryellen MacDonald, and Elaine Andersen. Research
focuses on normal and disordered language comprehension and
production, specifically: (a) experimental studies of word and
sentence processing and spoken language production; (b) reading
acquisition and dyslexia; (c) language impairments associated with
Alzheimer's disease and other forms of neuropathology; (d)
connectionist modeling of word and sentence processing. We are
seeking a person with a strong background in psycholinguistic
research, including experience with on-line processing measures and
paradigms. An interest in computational modeling would be welcome,
but experience in this area is not a prerequisite. The position would
be ideal for someone with a background in word recognition or sentence
processing in normals who would like to gain expertise in a related
area such as language impairments, reading acquisition, or
connectionist modeling. The position is for 1-2 years. Further
details can be obtained by writing to Mark Seidenberg,

Applications are invited from outstanding upper-level undergraduate
and graduate students for full-time summer internship positions in
human-computer interaction and multimodal systems. Funding for these
internships is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and is
part of a larger project entitled "Writing and Talking to Future
Interactive Systems." Students selected will participate in an
interdisciplinary, team-oriented research project investigating
people's spoken, pen-based, and multimodal input to interactive
computer systems. One aim of this research is the design of successful
interfaces for multimodal systems and portable devices. This work is
being conducted in a new state-of-the-art laboratory facility in the
Center for Human-Computer Communication at the Oregon Graduate
Institute of Science and Technology (OGI), which is located in the
Portland metropolitan area within 12-15 minutes of the city. Student
housing is available within walking or biking distance of OGI.
Applicants with a background in cognitive science, computer science,
psychology, linguistics, or human factors are encouraged to apply, and
interests in the following areas are preferred: human-computer
interaction, multimodal systems, human communication and behavior,
linguistics and natural language processing, speech and pen
technology, research design and statistics. Experience working with
human subjects, scoring and analyzing language-oriented behavior,
using statistical software, or programming in C+ and X-windows would
be most relevant to the project. To apply, submit a resume, xerox
copy of course transcripts, names and contact information for 3

GREAT MOMENTS IN THE STUDY OF ASPECT
CHAPTER 317: Oxford, 1266
Three Oxford academics were deputed to wait upon Henry III in 1266 to
ask permission for a postern gate through the city wall at Oxford.
The king asked them (in Latin) what they wanted.
First scholar: 'We ask a licence for the making of a gate through the
city wall.'
Second scholar: 'No, we do not want "the making of a gate," for that
would mean the gate was always in the making, and never made. What we
want is a "gate made."'
Third scholar: 'No, we do not want a "gate made," for a gate made must
already be in existence somewhere else, and so we should be taking
somebody else's gate.'
The king told them to go away and make up their minds. When they
returned in three days' time they had agreed upon a formula:
'We ask permission that the making of a gate might be made.' ('Ostium
fieri in facto esse.')
