Upperbounded no more the exhaustive interpretation of non-strict comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper concerns the expression of non-strict comparison, focusing in particular on constructions of the form [no(t) . . . -er than] in modified numerals. The main empirical finding is the observation that negated comparatives contrast with regular comparatives in that the former but not the latter can give rise to (scalar) implicatures. It is shown that such a contrast falls out of theories of exhaustive interpretation that claim alternatives to form dense scales (Fox and Hackl, 2006). An important result is that the paper sharpens the desiderata for theories of exhaustification.

The effect of taking green tea extract for 12 weeks on telomerase enzyme content in heart tissue of old rats in response to acute exhaustive exercise
Background & Aims: The prevalence, incidence, and complications of heart disease increase with age. Green tea is an antioxidant which can prevent cellular senescence and cardiovascular diseases. Telomerase enzyme decreases with aging. Acute exhaustive exercise results in disturbances in the oxidative system and production of active oxygen species in the heart tissue. Thus, the present study aim...
