Semelfactives are bigger than degree achievementsAbstractThis paper argues that semelfactive and degree achievement verbs are morphosyntactically distinct, despite the fact that the morphemes they are made of are often syncretic even in languages with synthetic verb morphology like Czech or Polish. We use the mechanisms of Nanosyntax, a theory of the architecture of grammar in which the lexicon stores entire syntactic subtrees, to show that there is a structural containment between semelfactives...

China’s migrant population and healthAbstractPopulation flow brings vitality to China’s economy and society, while at the same time it also impacts traditional social structures and culture. In recent years, with the gradual disappearance of the “demographic dividend” and the advancement of economic structural transformation and upgrading, there have been changes to China’s population flow that are worth of noting. In particular, the changing health status of China’s migrant population has attracted...

Subjective values should be sharpAbstractElga (Philos Impr 10(5): 1–10, 2010) has argued that, even when no particular subjective probability is required by one’s evidence, perfectly rational people will have sharp subjective probabilities. Otherwise, they would be rationally permitted to knowingly turn down some sure gains. I argue that it is likewise true that, even when we do not possess enough practical reasons for a sharp evaluation (because of optionality or ignorance), perfectly rational people...
