More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between syntax and human reasoning, Gennaro Chierchia explores polarity sensitive and free choice items to deepen our understanding of language. He offers a new perspective on the semantics of focus and scope, as well as the pragmatics of implicature, positioning these elements within a recursive semantic framework. This investigation sheds light on the complexities of language processing and the cognitive mechanisms behind it.
