[Bon22] — Anatomy of an Attitude #
Embedded clauses come in two sorts. A Cont-CP denotes a predicate of individuals with propositional content, CONT(x) = p ([Kra06], [Mou15]), and projects a ContP whose head is overt in Buryat (gɘ 'say') and Korean (-ta) and null in English and Russian; a Sit-CP denotes a predicate of situations exemplifying p ([Kra89]) and lacks that layer. Content nouns take truth predicates and reject occurrence predicates, situation nouns the reverse, and a Sit-CP is referentially transparent where a Cont-CP is opaque. Content is fixed by equality rather than subset or overlap, which makes CONT a function and rules out clausal conjunction under one content individual ([BB21]).
With verbs, a clause composes either through the verb's situation argument by Predicate Modification or through a DP argument by Functional Application, and the thesis's mapping claim is that bare clauses take only the first path and nominalized clauses only the second: a bare CP is a predicate of situations, a nominalized CP an individual, and every Θ-head (Causer, Theme, About) wants an individual. [Ang26] later attacks this mapping with Greek oti-clauses.
The ch. 2 diagnostics and the Buryat clause shapes are checked here against
the thesis's own examples (Bondarenko2022.Examples); the per-language
Cont/Comp head assignments are stated over the Buryat and Korean fragment
inventories.
Nominal sorts #
The two sorts of clause-taking noun (§2.2), content nouns (idea, claim, rumor) and situation nouns (situation, event, case).

Equality, subset and existential content #
Existential content CONT(x) ∩ p ≠ ∅ is the overlap semantics that the thesis
rejects in favour of equality (comp). Subset semantics is ContentIndividual.entails.
Equations
- Bondarenko2022.ExistentialContent xc p = ∃ (w : W), xc.cont w ∧ p w
Instances For
Equality makes CONT a function, so one individual cannot carry two contents — no clausal conjunction under a content individual.
Subset semantics does not make CONT a function, since a content entails every superset of itself.
Transparency #
A clause is referentially transparent at s when predicates agreeing at
s are interchangeable in it.
Equations
- Bondarenko2022.ReferentiallyTransparentAt clause s = ∀ (p q : S → Prop), (p s ↔ q s) → (clause p s ↔ clause q s)
Instances For
A Sit-CP is evaluated at the situation itself, hence transparent.
A Cont-CP is opaque, since content identity is not settled at one world.

The Comp head #
The Comp head (§2.3 ex. 151) holds of x at s when x is part of the evaluation
situation and exactly verifies p.
Equations
- Bondarenko2022.compHead p x s = (x ≤ s ∧ x ∈ p)
Instances For
Exact exemplification by a part is inexact verification, membership in the upper closure of the exact verifiers.
Cont exponence #
A Cont-exponence analysis of a clause-typing inventory (ch. 4) names the morpheme, if any, that overtly expones Cont.

- contExponent : Option Complementizer
- contExponent_mem (c : Complementizer) : c ∈ self.contExponent → c ∈ self.inventory
Instances For
A Cont analysis with the licenser-conditioned Comp allomorphy.
- inventory : List Complementizer
- contExponent : Option Complementizer
- compAllomorph : Complementizer.Licenser → Complementizer
- compAllomorph_mem (l : Complementizer.Licenser) : self.compAllomorph l ∈ self.inventory
- licenser_compAllomorph (l : Complementizer.Licenser) : (self.compAllomorph l).licenser = some l
- cover (c : Complementizer) : c ∈ self.inventory → c ∈ self.contExponent ∨ ∃ (l : Complementizer.Licenser), self.compAllomorph l = c
Instances For
In Buryat (§4.3.1 ex. 33) gɘ expones Cont, participial -Aːša is the Comp allomorph next to nouns, and converbial -žA is the one next to verbs.

Instances For
A clause denotes content exactly when the Cont exponent is among its typers — the thesis's argument that gɘ expones Cont.
hanaxa's two frames (§4.4.3) each take exactly one typer — converbial -žA on the bare frame, participial -Aːša on the nominalized one — and the say-root takes neither.
hanaxa is nonveridical on the bare frame, where it means 'think', and veridical on the nominalized one, where it means 'remember'.
