Remarks on exhaustification and embedded free choice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some sentences that contain disjunctions imply their disjunct-alternatives are false, while others they true. Recent work on scalar implicature has been guided by the behavior of such constructions. In this paper I consider examples in which free choice (phrases form allowed to A or B) appear various intensional contexts. discuss significance findings light current views exhaustification.

Free Choice and Exhaustification: an Account of Subtrigging Effects
The goal of this article is to explain the distribution and meaning of qualsiasi/qualunque in the examples in (1). Universal FC items will be analysed as indefinites (contra Dayal, 1998). Following Aloni (2002, to appear) and Kratzer and Shimoyama (2002), I will assume that indefinites induce sets of propositional alternatives. The interpretation of FC items like qualsiasi will further cruciall...
متن کاملSome Remarks on Commuting Fixed Point Free Automorphisms of Groups
In this article we will find necessary and sufficient conditions for a fixed point free automorphism (fpf automorphism) of a group to be a commuting automorphism. For a given prime we find the smallest order of a non abelian p-group admitting a commuting f...
متن کاملSome remarks on cardinal arithmetic without choice
One important consequence of the Axiom of Choice is the absorption law of cardinal arithmetic. It states that for any cardinals m and n, if m 6 n and n is infinite, then m+ n = n and if m 6= 0, m · n = n. In this paper, we investigate some conditions that make this property hold as well as an instance when such a property cannot be proved in the absence of the Axiom of Choice. We further find s...
متن کاملRemarks on Free Entropy Dimension
We prove a technical result, showing that the existence of a closable unbounded dual system in the sense of Voiculescu is equivalent to the finiteness of free Fisher information. This approach allows one to give a purely operatoralgebraic proof of the computation of the non-microstates free entropy dimension for generators of groups carried out in an earlier joint work with I. Mineyev [4]. The ...
متن کاملRemarks on Free Field Realization
Free field representations of vertex algebra in SL(2,R)k/U(1) × U(1) WZNW model are constructed by considering a twisted version of the Bershadsky-Kutasov free field description of discrete states in the two-dimensional black hole CFT. These correspond to conjugate representations describing primary states in the model on SL(2,R)/U(1)× U(1). A particular evaluation of these leads to identities ...
