Abstract

This paper presents the system of Old Hungarian expressions conveying universal or maximal readings, as found in Old Hungarian codices. The main empirical findigs are that (i) the OH suffix-keed could be a (temporal) universal quantifier. Expressions with such suffixes can help reconstruct quantifiers from the head-final stage of Hungarian. (ii) Old Hungarian had bare pronouns that acquired a bound, quantificational reading from long-distance operators. Against such a background, minden is claimed to be a quintessential strong D-quantifier: It could undergo raising, and its scope was flexible (within syntactic islands). (iii) These properties of minden are distinctive within the class of particle + indeterminate pronoun complexes (such as vala-ki lit. ‘vala-who’, ‘somebody’), which could be said to lack quantificational force.

古匈牙利语中普遍量化的景观
本文介绍了在古匈牙利法典中发现的传达普遍或最大读数的古匈牙利语表达系统。主要的实证发现是:(1)OH -keed可能是一个(时间)通用量词。带有这些后缀的表达式可以帮助匈牙利语从头到尾重建量词。(ii)古匈牙利语的代词从长途接线员那里获得了有限的定量解读。在这样的背景下,minden被认为是一个典型的强d量词:它可以被提升,它的范围是灵活的(在句法岛内)。(iii)心智的这些特性在粒子+不定代词复合体(如vala-ki lit. ' vala-who ', ' someone ')中是独特的,这类复合体可以说缺乏定量力。
