摘要
"唯一 "的正向非排他性推理在其投射性地位和内容方面一直是著名的难以捉摸的:在某些情况下,正向推理表现得像一个预设,而在另一些情况下则不是;在某些情况下,该推理是非模态的,与 "唯一 "的前置词或其存在性对应词相对应,而在另一些情况下则是模态化的。我们认为,这种行为揭示了 only 的例外性质(参见 von Fintel 和 Iatridou 在 Linguist Inq 38(3):445-483, 2007 中的论述)。更具体地说,如果 "唯一 "的意义分布在最小性和减法成分之间,就像对例外词的论证那样(特别是 Gajewski 在 Nat Lang Semant 16(1):69-110, 2008 中的论述),那么 "唯一 "看似不可调和的特性就可以被捕捉到。
The positive, non-exclusive inference of only has been famously elusive with respect to its projective status and its content: in some cases the positive inference behaves like a presupposition, while in others it does not; in some cases the inference is non-modal, corresponding to the prejacent of only or an existential counterpart of it, while in others it is modalized. This behavior, we argue, surfaces the exceptive nature of only (cf. von Fintel and Iatridou in Linguist Inq 38(3):445–483, 2007). More specifically, if the import of only is distributed between a minimality and a subtraction component, as has been argued for exceptives (esp. Gajewski in Nat Lang Semant 16(1):69–110, 2008), the apparently irreconcilable properties of only can be captured.
期刊介绍:
Linguistics and Philosophy focuses on issues related to structure and meaning in natural language, as addressed in the semantics, philosophy of language, pragmatics and related disciplines, in particular the following areas: philosophical theories of meaning and truth, reference, description, entailment, presupposition, implicatures, context-dependence, and speech actslinguistic theories of semantic interpretation in relation to syntactic structure and prosody, of discourse structure, lexcial semantics and semantic changepsycholinguistic theories of semantic interpretation and issues of the processing and acquisition of natural language, and the relation of semantic interpretation to other cognitive facultiesmathematical and logical properties of natural language and general aspects of computational linguisticsphilosophical questions raised by linguistics as a science: linguistics methodology, properties of linguistic theories and frameworks, and the relation of linguistics to other fields of inquiryContributions may be in the form of articles, replies, or review articles. Linguistics and Philosophy is indexed in the ISI/Social Science Citation Index.
