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 entailment: (non)veridicality. The leading idea is that the various polarity phenomena observed in language are manifestations of the dependency of certain expessions, i.e. polarity items, to the (non)veridicality of the context of appearance. Dependencies to negation or downward entailment emerge as subcaLinguistik aktuell ;Bd. 23.Grammar, Comparative and generalSyntaxSemanticsDependency grammarGreek language, ModernSyntaxGreek language, ModernSemanticsGrammar, Comparative and generalSyntax.Semantics.Dependency grammar.Greek language, ModernSyntax.Greek language, ModernSemantics.415Giannakidou Anastasia1607285MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826806603321Polarity sensitivity as (non)veridical dependency4046701UNINA
