本书研究了测量结构的语义和句法语义接口,例如(非)分割量词和比较级。跨语言研究表明,看似不同的结构可以根据它们是否衡量名词谓词或动词谓词分为两类,并表明这种分类解释了为什么某些结构具有有关分布性和单事件谓词的某些特征。整本书都特别强调组合性问题。
This book investigates the semantics and syntax-semantics interface of measurement constructions, such as (non-)split quantifiers and comparatives. The cross-linguistic investigation reveals that seemingly diverse constructions can be categorized into two classes depending on whether they measure nominal or verbal predicates, and shows that the classification accounts for why certain constructions have certain characteristics concerning distributivity and single-event predicates. Throughout the book, particular emphasis is placed on issues of compositionality.
