5. Stress and morphology in the Italian verbsElena Guerzoni, 2024, other monographs and other completed works Abstract: In this paper I present an analysis of stress in Italian verbs. A preliminary observation reveals that
inflection affects stress position on verbs in an apparently unpredictable fashion. Although, at first
sight, the variability of stress placement in Italian verbs seems to preclude a systematic account, this
paper shows that once the morphological complexity of verbs is factored in, it is in fact the one and
the same algorithm that assigns stress in this entire word class.

7. Stress and morphology in the Italian verb systemElena Guerzoni, 2000, other monographs and other completed works Abstract: In this paper I present an analysis of stress in Italian verbs. A preliminary comparison between nouns and adjectives on the one hand and verbs on the other reveals that these the two classes of words differ in an interesting way when it comes to stress assignment: while on a noun or adjective stress can be predicted to a large extent on the basis of a stress rule that fully coincides with the main stress rule of Classical Latin, inflection affects stress position on verbs in an apparently unpredictable fashion. Although, at first sight, this difference seems to preclude a unified account of stress in the language, this paper shows that once the additional morphological complexity of verbs is factored in, it is in fact the same algorithm that assigns stress in both word classes.

8. When tense shifts presuppositions : hani and monstrous semanticsFurkan Dikmen, Elena Guerzoni, Ömer Demirok, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: This study shows that the Turkish expression hani exhibits interesting properties for the study of the semantics and pragmatics interface, because, on the one hand, its function is merely pragmatic, but on the other hand, it is subject to the truth-conditional effect of other constituents at LF. This notwithstanding, studies on this expression are remarkably scarce. The only attempts to describe its properties are Erguvanlı-Taylan (Studies on Turkish and Turkic languages; proceedings of the ninth international conference on Turkish linguistics, 133–143, 2000), Akar et al. (Discourse meaning, 57–78, 2020), and Akar and Öztürk (Information-structural perspectives on discourse particles, 251–276, 2020). In the present study, we introduce the first formal semantic and pragmatic treatment of clauses containing hani. Unlike previous accounts, we claim that hani can have one of the following two major pragmatic functions: making salient a proposition in the Common Ground or challenging one in a past Common Ground, therefore requiring a Common Ground revision. Despite its variety of occurrences, we argue that hani has a uniform interpretation and provide a compositional analysis of the different construals that it is associated with. Furthermore, we show that a formally explicit and accurate characterization of hani clauses requires operating on indexical parameters, in particular the context time. Therefore, if our proposal is on the right track, hani clauses may provide indirect empirical evidence in favour of the existence of “monstrous” phenomena, adding to the accumulating cross-linguistic evidence in this domain (see Schlenker in Linguistics and Philosophy 26(1):29–120, 2003 and much work since then). The definition of monsters is intended as in Kaplan (Themes from Kaplan, 481–563, 1989).

9. Yat-alternation and the imperfect tense in Bulgarian. A rule-based analysis.Danil Khristov, 2022, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The paper proposes a rule-based feature analysis of the ya/e phenomenon in Bulgarian. Special attention
is paid to the variable ya/е observed in the forms of the imperfect tense. First and second-conjugation verbs whose
imperfect forms involve yat-alternation are compared with third-conjugation verbs where this alternation is not observed. The analysis also addresses the role of morphology in the process of adding different imperfect endings to
the verb base and the effect of these endings on the variable ya/e. Finally, the phonemic status of soft consonants is
discussed in relation to the proposed analysis.
Keywords: yat vowel, yat-alternation, variable ya/e, imperfect tense, rule-based analysis, features
