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. Amore articulated semantics is shown leading to a simpler  syntax. \u003cbr\u003e  Among other issues addressed is the switch from uniqueness\/maximality  effects in single WH constructions to list readings in multiple WH  constructions. These effects are captured by adapting the treatment of  WH expressions as quantifying over functions to the cases of multiple  WH questions and correlatives. List readings due to functional  dependencies are systematically distinguished from those that are  based on plurality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792354789\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4808-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 256\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45658380435596,"sku":"9780792354789","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792354789_4fd0a019-8a9a-42b5-a3fa-66a832301ec1.jpg?v=1775707626","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792354789","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
