Frontmatter -- Contents -- Chapter 1 The semantic parallelism between the nominal and verbal domains -- Chapter 2 The semantic properties of non-split and splitmeasure phrase constructions -- Chapter 3 The syntax and compositional semantics of non-split and split quantifier constructions -- Chapter 4 Comparatives and measure phrases as differentials -- Chapter 5 Cross-linguistic aspects of quantification and compositionality -- Chapter 6 Concluding remarks -- BackmatterThis book investigates the semantics and syntax-semantics interface of measurement constructions, such as (non-)split quantifiers and comparatives. The cross-linguistic investigation reveals that seemingly diverse constructions can be categorized into two classes depending on whether they measure nominal or verbal predicates, and shows that the classification accounts for why certain constructions have certain characteristics concerning distributivity and single-event predicates. Throughout the book, particular emphasis is placed on issues of compositionality.Interface explorations ;12.Grammar, Comparative and generalSyntaxSemanticsGrammar, Comparative and generalQuantifiersGrammar, Comparative and generalComparative clausesCompositionality (Linguistics)Syntax.generative semantics.generative syntax.semantics.Grammar, Comparative and generalSyntax.Semantics.Grammar, Comparative and generalQuantifiers.Grammar, Comparative and generalComparative clauses.Compositionality (Linguistics)415Nakanishi Kimiko1975-1547605MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782778003321Formal properties of measurement constructions3804073UNINA
