Please feel free to contact me if there is any work of mine that you cannot access online. I've reordered things strictly according to date, as I've recently discovered that some people don't scroll down the page and were having trouble finding things....

The HPSG paper presents an alternative analysis of comparatives and degree modifiers to that used in the Language paper; I have seen in a few places the claims in the latter incorrectly attributed to the former.
