摘要
von Fintel & Iatridou (2023)(vF&I)认为,X-标记的 "想要"(X-marked want)是他们所谓的 "X-标记"(X-marking)的跨语言挑战之一,也就是传统上被称为 "从句"(subjunctive)或 "反事实"(counterfactual)的形态学。本文的主要目的是阐明 vF&I 的观点,即 "想要 "上的 X 标记反映了 "想要 "的量词域的扩大,从而与 Stalnaker(1975 年)提出的一种有影响力的观点在条件式中所做的工作相同。在 Sode(2021)和 Grano & Phillips-Brown(2022)那里,want 的补语所表示的命题 $\phi $ 被视为 Heim(1992)在 want 和 desire-ascriptions 中更普遍地看到的 "隐藏条件 "的前置词,vF&I 的条件/欲望模式为这种处理提供了形态句法证据。与 Stalnaker 的观点一致,也与最近的观点一致,即 X 标记在语义上是空洞的(Crowley 2022;Leahy 2011,2018),"想要 "上的 X 标记被视为反映了没有 O 标记对应物所附带的预设限制:将最接近的前因世界限制在态度持有者的信念集合中。
X-marked want is identified by von Fintel & Iatridou (2023) (vF&I) as one of the crosslinguistic challenges for what they call X-marking, the kind of morphology traditionally referred to as ‘subjunctive’ or ‘counterfactual’. This paper’s main goal is to spell out vF&I’s idea that X-marking on want reflects a widening of want’s quantificational domain, thereby doing the same job as it does in conditionals under an influential view originating with Stalnaker (1975). With Sode (2021), but also Grano & Phillips-Brown (2022), the proposition $\phi $ denoted by want’s complement is treated as the antecedent of a “hidden conditional” that Heim (1992) sees in want and desire-ascriptions more generally, a treatment in whose favor vF&I’s Conditional/Desire Pattern provides morphosyntactic evidence. In line with the Stalnakerian view, but also more recent ones under which X-marking is semantically vacuous (Crowley 2022; Leahy 2011, 2018), X-marking on want is treated as reflecting the absence of a presuppositional constraint that the O-marked counterpart comes with: a limitation of closest antecedent-worlds to the attitude holder’s belief set.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Semantics aims to be the premier journal in semantics. It covers all areas in the study of meaning, with a focus on formal and experimental methods. The Journal welcomes submissions on semantics, pragmatics, the syntax/semantics interface, cross-linguistic semantics, experimental studies of meaning (processing, acquisition, neurolinguistics), and semantically informed philosophy of language.
