How to donkey FC- and NPI-any∗

چکیده
Free Choice any and Negative Polarity Item any are uniformly analyzed as counterfactual donkey sentences (in disguise).

It is shown that this explains the universal and existential character of FCand NPI-any, respectively, and the positive and negative contexts in which they are licensed.
