Cualquier, Exception Phrases and Negation
نویسنده
چکیده
Exception phrases show up with a restricted set of quantifiers (a.o. Hoeksema (1987), von Fintel (1994), Moltmann (1995)). In this paper I claim that exception phrases are able to associate with cualquier because they operate on universal implicatures generated by the FC item. Following Kratzer and Shimoyama (K&S) (2002), I propose a Hamblin style analysis of cualquier as a domain widening indefinite, and develop an analysis to explain (1)-(3).
