- Universal quantification as degree modification in Arabic (2016 · 3 citations)
The paper asks why the Arabic universal quantifier kull ('every/all') behaves so much like superlatives. It compares three construct-state patterns: quality superlatives (ʔaʕlā 'highest'), the quantity superlative ʔakθar 'most', and kull. Each appears with definite and indefinite, singular and plural dependent… - Argument structure hierarchies and alternations in causative and double object constructions (2024 · 1 citation)
Hallman asks which syntactic analysis of the double object alternation ( give X Y vs. give Y to X ) is correct. He uses evidence from Syrian Arabic, where a causative morpheme turns a transitive verb into a ditransitive one. These causative ditransitives can appear either with two bare objects or with one object… - Numeral differential constructions in Arabic (2020)
Hallman examines a puzzle in comparatives that contain numerals, for instance an English sentence in which three combines with shells yet tells us by how much Mary's shell count exceeded Joan's.
