Downward Entailing and Chinese Polarity Items (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Employing the downward entailing hypothesis as its analytical foundation, this book argues that downward entailment is the only licensor for different kinds of Chinese polarity items, and non-veridicality is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition and thus offers inferior explanatory power compared with the former.
