Syntax of either in either… or… sentences

چکیده
I propose an analysis of either in either… or … sentences that relates to a broader generalization about the syntax all focus-sensitive operators. argue originates inside disjunction phrase, c-commanding leftmost contrastive focus. Then it is internally merged as sister phrase. Either copy may be pronounced. When appears higher than bare argument ellipsis has occurred second disjunct. This consonant with operators occupy two positions sentence (e.g. Cable 2007; Hirsch 2017; and Quek 2017). If this correct, then not only indicates operator, but also adds another data point universal generalization.

Metaphysical disjunctivism is the view usually associated with the disjunctivist label, and whenever ‘disjunctivism’ occurs here unprefixed, it refers to this view.

After introducing the topic in Section 1, in Section 2 we explain what the pr...

The writings of Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, Bauhaus theorists and pioneers of nonrepresentational art, are the framework for a discussion of contemporary issues in computational design. Kandinsky and Klee wrote of the many misguided dualisms in the art theory and pedagogy of their time. They sought to reconcile the seemingly mutually exclusive issues associated with abstraction in art. Som...
متن کاملA Model of Irreversible Electro-Oxidation Inhibited by Either Adsorption or Surface Complexation of the Product
Theoretical models of irreversible electro-oxidation of dissolved reactant giving dissolved product on the stationary planar electrode are developed for the conditions of staircase cyclic voltammetry. In the first model it is assumed that the product is adsorbed on the electrode surface and that the adsorbate prevents the transfer of electrons. In the second model it is assumed that the electro...
