Its empirical building blocks are paradigms involving upward-scalar terms like ‘few‘ and ‘rarely‘, and their downward-scalar antonyms ‘many‘ and ‘frequently‘, an area that has not been studied previously in the literature. The empirical claim is that associations of the former type give rise to unexpected readings, and the proposed theoretical explanation draws on the properties of the latter type of association. In presenting the details, the book deconstructs the so-called scalar presupposition of ‘only‘ and derives it from constraints against its vacuous use. This view is then combined with a semantics of the evaluative adjectives ‘many‘ and ‘few‘ to explain why the unavailable (but expected) meanings of the given constructions are unavailable. The attested (but unexpected) readings of ‘only+few/rarely‘ associations are derived from independently motivated LFs in which the degree expressions are existentially closed. Finally, the book provides new findings, based on the core proposal, about ‘only if‘ constructions, and about | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Assertion of only and innocent exclusion; Concept of mirativity; Focus association; Non-vacuity constra | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-37806-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-37808-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-37806-6Series ISSN 0924-4662 Series E-ISSN 2215-034X | | issn_series | 0924-4662 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
