Downward Entailing and Chinese Polarity Items

Authors

More about the book

Focusing on the downward entailing hypothesis, this book presents a compelling argument that it serves as the sole licensor for various Chinese polarity items. It critiques the role of non-veridicality, asserting that it lacks both necessity and sufficiency in explaining these linguistic phenomena, ultimately demonstrating that downward entailment provides a more robust framework for understanding Chinese polarity items.
