Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Based on inferences they support, modifying adjectives have been divided into groups with labels such as intersective , subsective , and privative . Accessing noun phrase‐external content, adjectives in nonlocal modification structures like occasional sailor , wrong number , or possible candidate elude this classical typology. This chapter proposes a general diagnostic for nonlocal modification in terms of inferences that it fails to support, and applies it to a selection of known instances of nonlocality. The chapter then argues that nonlocality of modification has at least two distinct grammatical sources, one being syntactic intrusion of noun phrase‐external content into the scope of the modifier by way of ellipsis. Based on a review of nonlocal modification by possible and right / wrong , the argument is that in those two cases the sources of nonlocality are distinct.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
