چکیده
A selection of carotenoids beyond normal appearance or properties has been presented at the 16(th) International Symposium on Carotenoids. Some of the exceptional compounds shown at the conference cannot be reproduced in this proceeding since they have not yet been published. In addition, editorial space limitation does not allow illustrating all of the previously mentioned carotenoids.

Presuppositions in Superlatives
This paper discusses the distributive reading of plural superlatives. We argue that the compositional interpretation of plural superlative sentences requires that the referent of the superlative description is excluded from the comparison class associated with the degree morphology. We extend the claim to superlatives in general. The proposal implies that we need to rethink the presupposition c...
متن کاملModal Superlatives and 3-place vs. 2-place -est * I
Superlative sentences with modal modifiers like possible give rise to the so-called ‘modal superlative reading’ (Larson 2000, Pancheva 2005). The present paper uses this reading to investigate an open issue in degree constructions: whereas two different lexical entries have been argued to exist for the comparative morpheme -er (3-place and 2-place), it is not clear whether two entries are neede...

متن کاملRaising and resolving issues with scalar modifiers
We argue that the superlative modifiers at least and at most quantify over a scale of answers to the current question under discussion (and in this sense, resolve issues), and that they draw attention to the individual possibilities along the scale (and in this sense, raise issues for discussion). The point of departure is a simple analysis on which at least denotes what only presupposes, and a...
متن کاملSuperlative quantifiers and epistemic interpretation of disjunction
We discuss semantics of superlative quantifiers at most n and at least n. We argue that the meaning of a quantifier is a pair specifying a verification and a falsification condition for sentences with this quantifier. We further propose that the verification condition of superlative quantifiers should be interpreted in an epistemic way, that is as a conjunctive list of possibilities. We also pr...
