评价了偶极性和负极性许可证之间相互作用的两种理论。Rooth的分析认为英语even在词汇上是模棱两可的，这一分析优于Wilkinson等人的分析，Wilkinson等人认为even在极性许可方面的范围是不同的。反对威尔金森范围理论的争论主要来自对范围分配的一般限制的考虑。对于威尔金森反对鲁斯NPI理论的主要论点的另一种解释是基于这样一种观点，即even引入的存在预设实际上不是该粒子的词汇意义的一部分，而是间接推导出来的。
Two theories of the interaction between even and negative polarity licensers are evaluated. It is argued that Rooth’s analysis, which claims that English even is lexically ambiguous, is superior to that of Wilkinson and others, according to which even can vary in scope with respect to the polarity licenser. Arguments against Wilkinson’s scope theory come mainly from considerations concerning general restrictions on scope assignment. An alternative explanation for Wilkinson’s main argument against Rooth’s NPI theory is based on the idea that the existential presupposition introduced by even is actually not part of the lexical meaning of that particle but is derived indirectly.
