SUMMARY:Maziar Toosarvandani:  "Gapping is VP Ellipsis "
DESCRIPTION:Where does the gap in gapping — e.g. Some had ordered mussels\, and others swordfish — come from? The traditional answer is deletion (Ross 1970\, Hankamer 1979\, among others). Johnson (2009) presents a formidable challenge to this view. He argues that gapping cannot arise through deletion because gapping has several unique properties that distinguish it from more familiar deletion operations\, such as VP-ellipsis. Instead\, Johnson proposes that the gap in gapping arises through ‘low coordination’ — coordination of vPs — and across-the-board movement. \nFirst\, I argue that across-the-board movement cannot be a general account of gapping\, since it is not able to derive the gap in coordination structures with corrective but (Vicente 2010\, Toosarvandani\, to appear). Then\, I revive a version of the deletion account\,  in which gapping is VP-ellipsis in a low-coordination structure. This correctly generates gapping in corrective but sentences. Moreover\, once the information-structural properties of low coordinations are taken into consideration — low coordinates must have parallel focus structures — it also accounts for the unique properties of gapping. \nReferences \nRoss\, John Robert. 1970.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Kaplan: "Turning social categories into biological realities: 'Race' made biological"
DESCRIPTION:Biological facts can neither determine nor justify the racial categories identified in our ordinary social discourse. Claims to the contrary confuse our ability to find biological correlates to populations with our social reasons for picking out and maintaining those categories over time. Using recent arguments surrounding “race” and medicine as an example\, I argue that rejecting misguided claims regarding the biological nature of “race” remains important if we are to respond appropriately to the injustices inherent in the fundamental importance that socially ascribed racial categories continue to have in determining people’s life-prospects \nDr. Jonathan Kaplan‘s main research interests lie in the Philosophy of Biology and in Social and Political Philosophy. His recent publications include work on human behavior genetics\, on the conceptual foundations of evolutionary biology\, on issues surrounding the roles that race plays in medicine and in housing\, and on the discourses surrounding race and human biology more generally. He is currently an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Oregon State University.\nArticle of interest: \nPrisoners of Abstraction? The Theory and Measure of Genetic Variation\, and the Very Concept of “Race”\nby Jonathan Michael Kaplan & Rasmus Grønfeldt Winther
