Wiki Version:
Selectionally super-flexible verbs are verbs like see, remember, and observe that take many different syntactic complements, including (among others) controlled gerundive small clauses and 'concrete object'-denoting DPs. Since the familiar types of these complements resist an embedding in the type for questions [= sets of propositions], they challenge Theiler et al.'s (2018) uniform interpretation strategy for the complements of responsive verbs. Our paper answers this challenge by interpreting the complements of selectionally super-flexible verbs in a generalized type for questions, viz. as parametrized centered questions (type <<s, <s, <e, t>>>, t>). We show that the presented semantics captures the intuitive entailment pattern of these verbs.
