Title: Chung-chieh Shan
Main Research Question: How can we better understand the relationship between polarity sensitivity and evaluation order in language?
Methodology: The study uses a type-logical analysis to examine how negative and positive polarity items are licensed or prohibited in a given linguistic environment. It employs the programming language concepts of delimited continuations and evaluation order to provide a more empirical coverage than previous proposals.
Results: The analysis presents a novel approach to polarity sensitivity, incorporating both semantic properties and syntactic restrictions. It makes correct predictions about the acceptability of certain sentences, such as "Nobody's mother saw anybody's father."
Implications: This study contributes to a greater understanding of the syntax-semantics interface in language. It provides a more comprehensive explanation of polarity sensitivity than previous proposals, and its use of programming language concepts opens up new avenues for research in computational linguistics.
