This booklet bargains with the translation of adverbially quantified sentences containing sure DPs and unfastened family members (FR) Thereby, it concentrates at the origins of Quantificational Variability results (QVEs), i.e. readings in line with which the respective quantificational adverb turns out to quantify over the contributors denoted by means of the respective DP/FR.
QVEs tend to be mentioned purely in reference to singular indefinites and naked plurals. This publication hence presents the 1st complete account of QVEs with sure DPs and unfastened relations (while additionally discussing singular indefinites and naked plurals). featuring new empirical observations and arguments for the idea that Q-adverbs quantify over occasions completely, it's also a massive contribution to the theoretical debate about the quantificational area of Q-adverbs..
It is of curiosity to linguists operating in formal semantics and the syntax-semantics interface in addition to to philosophers of language who're drawn to adverbial quantification and scenario semantics. additionally, it bargains an advent to the middle problems with state of affairs semantics and adverbial quantification and is as a result available to graduate scholars attracted to those subject matters.

Lying at the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface (Mouton Series by Jörg Meibauer PDF
Whereas mendacity has been a subject matter within the philosophy of language, there was a scarcity of real linguistic research of mendacity. Exploring mendacity on the semantics-pragmatics interface, this publication takes a contextualist stand through arguing that untruthful implicatures and presuppositions are a part of the whole signification of the act of mendacity.
