It compares three construct-state patterns: quality superlatives (ʔaʕlā 'highest'), the quantity superlative ʔakθar 'most', and kull. Each appears with definite and indefinite, singular and plural dependent… 2. **[Argument structure hierarchies and alternations in causative and double object constructions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hallman-2024-argument-structure-hierarchies-alternations-causative/)** *(2024 · 1 citation)* Hallman asks which syntactic analysis of the double object alternation ( give X Y vs. give Y to X ) is correct. He uses evidence from Syrian Arabic, where a causative morpheme turns a transitive verb into a ditransitive one. These causative ditransitives can appear either with two bare objects or with one object… 3. **[Numeral differential constructions in Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hallman-2020-numeral-differential-constructions-arabic/)** *(2020)* Hallman examines a puzzle in comparatives that contain numerals, for instance an English sentence in which three combines with shells yet tells us by how much Mary's shell count exceeded Joan's. ## 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/) ×2: [Glossa a journal of general linguistics 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/glossa-a-journal-of-general-linguistics/2024/), [Glossa a journal of general linguistics 2016](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/glossa-a-journal-of-general-linguistics/2016/) - [Semantics and Pragmatics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/semantics-and-pragmatics/): [Semantics and Pragmatics 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/semantics-and-pragmatics/2020/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 1 time (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read).
