The phenomenon of polarity sensitivity has been an important source of evidence for theories about the mental architecture of grammar over the last fifty years, and to many the oddly dysfunctional sensitivities of polarity items have seemed to support a view of grammar as an encapsulated mental module fundamentally unrelated to other aspects of human cognition or communicative behavior. This book draws on insights from cognitive/functional linguistics and formal semantics to argue that, on the contrary, the grammar of sensitivity is grounded in a very general human cognitive ability to form categories and draw inferences based on scalar alternatives, and in the ways this ability is deployed for rhetorical effects in ordinary interpersonal communication. 410 0$aCambridge studies in linguistics ;$v127. 606 $aPolarity (Linguistics) 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xNegatives 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aSemantics 615 0$aPolarity (Linguistics) 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xNegatives. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aSemantics. 676 $a415 700 $aIsrael$b Michael$f1965-$01680731 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819396403321 996 $aThe grammar of polarity$94049619 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00871nam0 22002291i 450 001 UON00181475 005 20231205103134.41 010 $a00-601-0819-3 100 $a20030730d1973 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aUS 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aRadical paradoxes$edilemmas of the american left: 1945-1970$fPeter Clecak 210 $a New York$cHarper & Row$d1973 - X$d358 p. ; 22 cm. 606 $aStati Uniti$xIdeologia comunista$xRapporti$3UONC036615$2FI 700 1$aCLECAK$bPeter$3UONV104439$0485337 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20251003$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00181475 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI A 1535 $eSI SC 20892 5 1535 996 $aRadical paradoxes$9296621 997 $aUNIOR
