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\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792340997\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 252\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45658347045004,"sku":"9780792340997","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792340997.jpg?v=1771509700","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792340997","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
