[KC15]: Trivalent truth-value judgments for embedded plurals #
Empirical anchor for the homogeneity-projection literature. Križ & Chemla
(2015), "Two methods to find truth-value gaps and their application to the
projection problem of homogeneity," Natural Language Semantics 23(3):
205-248, introduce a binary-then-ternary truth-value judgment paradigm and
deploy it on plural definites embedded under quantifiers (every, no,
exactly N) plus sentential negation, across three experiment batches
(A1-A3 binary, B1-B3 ternary, C2-C4 ternary with grammatical
boys/presents stimuli).
Main declarations #
examples— per-paper accessor (option B): K&C's contribution to the cross-paper projection pool, i.e.KrizChemla2015.Examples.all.
The encoded stimulus rows themselves live in the generated module
Data.Examples.KrizChemla2015 (from
Linglib/Data/Examples/KrizChemla2015.json via scripts/gen_examples.py);
the pool at [[Generalizations.HomogeneityProjection]] imports them, and is where
cross-account testing of rival theories ([Mag14],
[Kri16], [KS21b], [BL21]) lands.
Implementation notes #
The K&C examples live in the generated Data.Examples.KrizChemla2015
module; the projection hub imports them into its cross-paper test pool.
This file remains the paper-anchored entry point and narrative hub.
Three projector-synthesized fields are gone from the prior incarnation, verified against the paper PDF:
Monotonicityenum +monotonicityfunction — re-stipulatedNaturalLogic.ContextPolarityand contained a return-value / comment contradiction fornotEvery.ProjectionDatum/EmbeddedTruthConditionsstructures withBoolpredicate-shape fields andStringinformal-prose fields — violated CLAUDE.md's no-Bool-for-predicates and no-String-in-proof-relevant-code conventions; superseded by the typedLinguisticExamplerows.- Enum cases
exactlyOneandatLeastOne— never tested in the paper.
A fourth correction was the no projection finding: the prior
encoding's gapDetectable := false reflected the A2/B2 null, but
[KC15] §5.2.3 (Exp. C2) explicitly overturns it ("E-no
does show a gap, which, albeit small, is robust" — β=1.3 χ²=8.2 p=.004 on
Diag. 1, Table 9). The C2 finding lands as
Examples.no_C2_gap with gap_detected = "true".
Todo #
Per-paper accessor: K&C 2015's stimulus rows (the generated
Examples.all), which the projection hub pools for cross-account
testing.
