Polarity Sensitivity as (Non)Veridical Dependency.

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Polarity phenomena have been known to linguists since Klima's seminal work on English negation. In this monograph Giannakidou presents a novel theory of polarity which avoids the empirical and conceptual problems of previous approaches by introducing a notion wider than negation and downward en...
