On Quantifier Domain Restriction
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the space of possible analyses of the phenomenon of quantifier domain restriction, together with a set of considerations which militate against all but our own proposal. Among the many accounts we consider and reject are the ‘explicit’ approach to quantifier domain restriction discussed, for example, by Stephen Neale, and the pragmatic approac...
متن کاملPseudogapping as Pseudo-VP Ellipsis
In this paper, we propose an analysis of pseudogapping in Hybrid Type-Logical Categorial Grammar (Hybrid TLCG; Kubota 2010, Kubota and Levine 2012). Pseudogapping poses a particularly challenging problem for previous analyses in both the transformational and nontransformational literature. The flexible notion of constituency countenanced in categorial grammar in general (including Hybrid TLCG) ...
متن کاملVagueness and Domain Restriction∗
This paper develops an idea of saving ordinary uses of vague predicates from the Sorites by means of domain restriction. A tolerance level for a predicate, along a dimension, is a difference with respect to which the predicate is semantically insensitive. A central gap for the predicate+dimension in a domain is a segment of an associated scale, larger than this difference, where no object in th...
متن کاملSentence-internal Different as Quantifier-internal Anaphora
– describe the patterns of interpretation and outline the emerging typology involved in relating: (i) various kinds of distributive quantifiers and (ii) various kinds of distributivity-dependent items – formally capture these patterns and typology in a logical system that involves: (i) fine-grained, structured contexts of evaluation that distributivity-dependent items are sensitive to (ii) a fa...
متن کاملDomain restriction by conditional connectives
This paper aims to rehabilitate the idea that there are conditional connectives in the logical forms of natural language. I propose to adopt a connective with a truth-value gap semantics inspired by Belnap (1970), such that conditionals only have a truth-value if their antecedent is true. Together with the assumption that quantifiers select worlds for which their scope is defined, this predicts...
