The primary data for the claim of locality at LF is drawn from Hindi but English data is used in discussing the semantics of questions and relative clauses. The book takes a cross-linguistic perspective showing how the Hindi and English facts can be brought to bear on the theory of universal grammar. \u003cbr\u003e There are several phenomena generally thought to involve long-distance dependencies at LF, such as scope marking, long-distance list answers and correlatives. In this book they are handled by explicating novel types of local relationships that interrogative and relative clauses can enter. A more articulated semantics is shown leading to a simpler syntax. \u003cbr\u003e Among other issues addressed is the switch from uniqueness\/maximality effects in single \u003cem\u003ewh\u003c\/em\u003e constructions to list readings in multiple \u003cem\u003ewh\u003c\/em\u003e constructions. These effects are captured by adapting the treatment of \u003cem\u003ewh\u003c\/em\u003e expressions as quantifying over functions to the cases of multiple \u003cem\u003ewh\u003c\/em\u003e questions and correlatives. List readings due to functional dependencies are systematically distinguished from those that are based on plurality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veneeta Dayal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780792340997\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40847900016755,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":186.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f16eba5d-d4ef-4110-8276-c0ed25ca41ad.jpg?v=1686238622","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/locality-in-wh-quantification-questions-and-relative-clauses-in-hindi-9780792340997","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
