Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2023 OUP hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. From the cover: This volume examines subordinate wh-clauses that lack an interrogative interpretation, particularly those in which the wh-word seems to deviate from its literal meaning. These include subordinate manner wh-clauses that have a declarative-like meaning, locative wh-clauses expressing kinds, and headed relatives that serve as recognitional cues, among many others. While regular interrogative embedding has been widely studied in recent years, little is known about the circumstances under which non-interrogative (subordinate) wh-clauses are licensed, nor why some, but not all, wh-phrases can be polyfunctional. The chapters in the book combine the study of cross-linguistic variations in patterns of subordination with formal semantic and syntactic analyses, with data drawn from a wide range of languages including Basque, Czech, English, Mandarin, Romanian, and Taiwan Southern Min. They provide novel insights into the ways in which wh-phrases can be used to introduce complements, relative clauses, and adverbial clauses, and show how the meanings associated with wh-words are exploited beyond their standard distribution. The findings have implications for our understanding of both the phenomenon of subordination as a whole and the relationship between form and meaning in wh-clauses. Contents: 1. Varieties of non-interrogative subordinate wh-clauses - Lukasz Jedrzejowski and Carla Umbach 2. Two kinds of English non-manner how-clauses - Kristina Liefke 3. Tense in how- and that-clauses under visual perception: A view from Russian - Atle Gronn 4. Basque non-interrogative nola as a (de dicto) factive complementizer - Aritz Irurtzun 5. Depictive manner complements - Carla Umbach, Stefan Hinterwimmer, and Cornelia Ebert 6. Decomposing adverbs and complementizers: A case study of Dutch hoe 'how' - Norbert Corver 7. Perceptive evidential wie-clauses in German: A situation-based approach - Roland Hinterholzl 8. Czech evidential relatives introduced by jak 'how': Recognitional cues for the hearer - Radek Simik and Jakub Slama 9. Comparative relatives in German - Andreas Pankau 10. German wie-comment and reporting clauses: A comparison with so-parentheticals - Karin Pittner and Werner Frey 11.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 320 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Addressing an issue that has puzzled the linguistics community for many years, this book offers a novel approach to the exceptional wide scope behaviour of indefinites. It is the first book explicitly dedicated to exceptional wide scope phenomena. Its unique approach offers an explanation for the fact that it is only a proper subset of the indefinites that shows this exceptional wide scope behaviour.The author draws a careful distinction between genuine and apparent scope readings, a distinction that is usually not taken care of and has thus led to certain confusions. In particular, it is argued that functional readings have to be kept strictly apart from non-functional ones and that all proposals that use functional mechanisms to explain the phenomena at hand face severe problems.The existing body of literature on the main issues of the book is thoroughly reviewed. This makes the book well suited as background literature for graduate seminars on those topics.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This anthology of papers analyzes a range of specificity markers found in natural languages. It reflects the fact that despite intensive research into these markers, the vast differences between the markers across languages and even within single languages have been less acknowledged. Commonly regarded specific indefinites are by no means a homogenous class, and so this volume fills a gap in our understanding of the semantics and pragmatics of indefinites. The papers explore differences and similarities among these specificity markers, concentrating on the following issues: whether specificity is a purely semantic or also a pragmatic notion; whether the contribution of specificity markers is located on the level of the at-issue content; whether some kind of speaker-listener asymmetry concerning the identification of the referent is involved; and the behavioral scope of these indefinites in the context of other quantifiers, negation, attitude verbs, and intensional/modal operators.…
