Antonio Fábregas @FabregasAntonio giving his keynote talk at the @wossp2019

[Michelle Sheehan @MiShee54]

We also heard at @wossp2019 Samantha BECERRA ZITA (Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nantes) with Non‒intrinsically negative (scalar) negation in Gallo #negation #syntax #morphology

[Michelle Sheehan @MiShee54]

Then at @wossp2019 there was Laura ARIAS RODRÍGUEZ (Autonomous University of Barcelona) with Syntactic and semantic properties of the pseudo partitive construction #syntax

[Michelle Sheehan @MiShee54]

He was addressing the fact that measure phrases like 'two metres' cannot modify superlatives, but can modify comparatives and PPs: two meters higher vs. *two meters highest. He proposed a semantic account in terms of vectors.
