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 subca 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 23. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aSemantics 606 $aDependency grammar 606 $aGreek language, Modern$xSyntax 606 $aGreek language, Modern$xSemantics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aSemantics. 615 0$aDependency grammar. 615 0$aGreek language, Modern$xSyntax. 615 0$aGreek language, Modern$xSemantics. 676 $a415 700 $aGiannakidou$b Anastasia$0898409 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456673903321 996 $aPolarity sensitivity as (non)veridical dependency$92007271 997 $aUNINA
