The open question is how that added meaning behaves under negation or quantifiers. Three accounts compete. Gestures may be ordinary at-issue modifiers, appositive-like supplements (Ebert & Ebert 2014), or… 3. **[Intervention effects in NPI licensing: A quantitative assessment of the scalar implicature explanation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/denic-2018-intervention-effects-npi-licensing-quantitative/)** *(2018 · 4 citations)* The paper asks whether scalar implicatures can account for the way certain elements block the licensing of negative polarity items (NPIs), a phenomenon known as intervention. 4. **[Biasless Language Models Learn Unnaturally: How LLMs Fail to Distinguish the Possible from the Impossible](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ziv-2026-biasless-language-models-learn-unnaturally/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* The paper asks whether large language models, like human learners, find naturally occurring languages easier to acquire than "impossible" ones that break core linguistic constraints such as hierarchical, recursive structure. ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Co-speech gesture projection: Evidence from truth-value judgment and picture selection tasks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tieu-2017-co-speech-gesture-projection-evidence/) [Glossa a journal of general linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/glossa-a-journal-of-general-linguistics/)**Lyn Tieu, Robert Pasternak, Philippe Schlenker, et al.*2017 · 37 citations* 2. **[Co-speech gesture projection: Evidence from inferential judgments](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tieu-2018-co-speech-gesture-projection-evidence/) [Glossa a journal of general linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/glossa-a-journal-of-general-linguistics/)**Lyn Tieu, Robert Pasternak, Philippe Schlenker, et al.*2018 · 35 citations* 3. **[Intervention effects in NPI licensing: A quantitative assessment of the scalar implicature explanation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/denic-2018-intervention-effects-npi-licensing-quantitative/) [Glossa a journal of general linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/glossa-a-journal-of-general-linguistics/)**Milica Denić, Emmanuel Chemla, Lyn Tieu*2018 · 4 citations* 4. **[Biasless Language Models Learn Unnaturally: How LLMs Fail to Distinguish the Possible from the Impossible](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ziv-2026-biasless-language-models-learn-unnaturally/) [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/)**Imry Ziv, Nur Lan, Emmanuel Chemla*2026 · 3 citations* 5. **[The Impact of Syntactic and Semantic Proximity on Machine Translation with Back-Translation ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.18031) arXiv:2403.18031 · no summary yet**Nicolas Guerin, Shane Steinert-Threlkeld, Emmanuel Chemla*2024 · 2 citations* 6. **[Learning simulation of nominal/verbal contexts through n-grams (Simulation de l'apprentissage des contextes nominaux/verbaux par n-grammes) in French ↗](https://aclanthology.org/F14-2020/) Proceedings of TALN 2014 (Volume 2: Short Papers) · no summary yet**Perrine Brusini et al.*2014* 7. **[DOI 10.1515/THLI.2008.013 6 Walter de Gruyter ↗](https://openalex.org/W7095665832) no summary yet**Philippe Schlenker et al.*2014* ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Lyn Tieu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lyn-tieu/) ×3 - [Philippe Schlenker](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/philippe-schlenker/) ×2 - [Robert Pasternak](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/robert-pasternak/) ×2 ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Glossa a journal of general linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/glossa-a-journal-of-general-linguistics/) ×3: [Glossa a journal of general linguistics 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/glossa-a-journal-of-general-linguistics/2018/) ×2, [Glossa a journal of general linguistics 2017](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/glossa-a-journal-of-general-linguistics/2017/) - [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/): [EACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/2026/) - Proceedings of TALN 2014 (Volume 2: Short Papers) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 13 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/emmanuel-chemla/cited-by/).
