Dear Miriam et al.,
Many, many thanks for the notes – they are very helpful and interesting. Just a couple of corrections concerning the Polish grammar (Agnieszka may have more comments later) and a question:
At the last ParGram meeting, it was suggested to use a creative common licencse for the grammars like the Polish site does.
Actually, it's GNU General Public License (version 3). (I've also corrected this info on the ParGram redmine wiki.) I am not sure this is the best licence for a resource of this kind – let me know if you can see good arguments for making it available under CC, and we'll consider dual-licensing.
Some examples in the negation testsuite included NPI items. Overall, NPI is not dealt with in any of the grammars.
Well, the Polish grammar implements Negative Concord, which may be considered an extreme case of NPI-licensing.
See the slides.
Where are they? I found a link to “ParGram workspace” at http://pargram.b.uib.no/ but my ParGram password does not seem to work there…
Thanks again!
Best,
Adam P.
