Farsi Hame-i DPs and Intensional Transitive Verbs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Adverbial modification suggests that some, but not all, Intensional Transitive Verbs (ITVs) take clausal complements [11]. Evidence from Farsi, coming from the interpretation of hame-i DPs, confirms the split. Hame-i DPs are existential quantifiers that acquire universal force via exhaustification [6]. We provide new data showing that hame-i DPs can have free choice interpretations, but only under certain conditions. The pattern is new. Free choice interpretations of hame-i DPs are found with ITVs, but only those that do not seem to take clausal complements. ITVs that seem to take clausal complements pattern with modal auxiliaries, which don't allow for free choice readings. If free choice readings are derived when a modal expression intervenes between an exhaustivity operator, EXH, and the DP, this means that not all modal expressions can intervene between EXH and hame-i DPs. To account for the restricted availability of free choice interpretations, we propose that EXH and hame-i DPs need to be within the same minimal clause.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
