Gebundenes Buch

Logic in Grammar

Polarity, Free Choice, and Intervention

Beschreibung

In a fundamental investigation of language and human reasoning, Gennaro Chierchia looks at how syntactic and inferential processes interact through the study of polarity sensitive and free choice items. He reformulates the semantics of focus and scope and the pragmatics of implicature as part of the recursive semantic system.
