1. Annotated database of Slovenian adjectivesPetra Mišmaš, Marko Simonović, Stefan Milosavljević, 2025, complete scientific database of research data Abstract: This database presents the morphological annotation of Slovenian adjectives. It includes the 6,000 most frequent adjectives in Slovenian, extracted from the Gigafida 2.0 corpus (deduplicated) using the CQL [tag="P.*"] on a random sample of 10,000,000 lines in the NoSketch engine in March 2024.

4. On complex adjectival phrases in Standard ArabicYahya Aldholmi, Hamid Ouali, Tue Trinh, 2019, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Natural language differs from artificial ones in having the “displacement property,” allowing expressions to “move” from one position to another in the sentence. The mapping from syntax to phonology, therefore, must include rules specifying how objects created by movement are pronounced, or in technical jargon, how chains are linearized. One of these rules is Copy Deletion. The present study investigates the structural description of Copy Deletion. Specifically, it proposes a phrase geometric constraint on its application. The proposal is corroborated by empirical arguments based on distributional and interpretational facts concerning predicate clefts, NP-Splits, and head ordering patterns. The data are drawn from languages of different types and families including Chinese, English, Dutch, German, Hebrew, Norwegian, Swedish, and Vietnamese. The book, thus, contributes to our understanding of a crucial property of natural language and should be of relevance to readers who are interested in the cross-linguistic approach to Universal Grammar research.

5. Certainly but not certain : the expression of subjective and objective probabilityKazuko Yatsushiro, Tue Trinh, Marzena Żygis, Stephanie Solt, Anton Benz, Manfred Krifka, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: This paper investigates the interpretation of the epistemic modal adjectives possible, certain and their adverbial counterparts possibly, certainly, taking the perspective that the former express objective modality, whereas the latter express subjective modality. In support of this view, we report on two experiments that assess speakers’ acceptance of possible, certain, possibly, certainly in different contexts. Our results extend those of Lassiter (2016) in demonstrating a difference in interpretation between the adjectival and adverbial modals, with possibly less acceptable than possible but conversely certainly more acceptable than certain in the same situations. Furthermore, the results of our experiments suggest a new insight, namely that these differences depend, to some extent, on the probability of the eventuality in question and polarity of the prejacent sentence.

6. Strengthened, and weakened, by beliefTue Trinh, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: This paper discusses a set of observations, many of which are novel, concerning differences between the adjectival modals certain and possible and their adverbial counterparts certainly and possibly. It argues that the observations can be derived from a standard interpretation of certain/certainly as universal and possible/possibly as existential quantifiers over possible worlds, in conjunction with the hypothesis that the adjectives quantify over knowledge and the adverbs quantify over belief. The claims on which the argument relies include the following: (i) knowledge implies belief, (ii) agents have epistemic access to their belief, (iii) relevance is closed under speakers' belief, and (iv) commitment is pragmatically inconsistent with explicit denial of belief.

7. Slovenian adverbial endings argue for a specific adverbial syntaxFranc Marušič, Rok Žaucer, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: The paper claims that the -o ending on Slovenian deadjectival adverbs is not a designated derivational morpheme for creating adverbs. Against the background of previous literature that questions the existence of adverbs as a category of its own (e.g. Bowers, 1975; Baker, 2003), the paper proposes that the actual source of Slovenian deadjectival adverbs is an adverbial reduced relative clause inside which regular predicative adjectives carry the neuter singular agreement morpheme, which is -o. The paper presents several arguments suggesting that adverbs indeed have a much richer syntactic structure than typically assumed.
