Beyond 'Any' and 'Ever': New Explorations in Negative Polarity Sensitivity
Eva Csipak (editor), Regine Eckardt (editor), Mingya Liu (editor), Manfred Sailer (editor)The grammar of negative polarity items is one of the challenges for linguistic theory. NPIs cross-cut all traditional categories in grammar and semantics, yet their distribution is by no means arbitrary. Theories of NPI licensing have been proposed in terms of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics - each with its own merits and problems. The volume comprises state-of-the-art studies and suggests an interpolation approach to NPI licensing.
