Additive free choice items

Abstract In this paper, we aim to account for the distribution and interpretation of a novel class free choice items in Romanian, which refer as additive (ADD-FCIs). We show that internal composition ADD-FCIs, well their distribution, differs from attested other paradigms discussed literature. Morphologically, ADD-FCIs are more complex variant regular universal FCIs, by virtue an additional morpheme. This morpheme plays role when it functions stand-alone particle, propose its is similarly infix ADD-FCIs. Couched exhaustification framework, put forward compositional can derive these As elements only found presence conditional mood, unconditional structures. how our analysis, coupled with Viability Constraint used explain also restricted distribution. doing so, further pattern investigate opens new perspectives regarding licensing unconditionals.
