This paper investigates the semantic behavior of 'distance-distributivity' markers which include English 'binominal' each, Korean ssik, and the like, and proposes a compositional analysis to derive the possible interpretations and account for the relevant properties. Pointing out that previous analyses can not properly derive the possible interpretations of the construction, this paper presents a new analysis which proposes distance-distributivity markers as Distributive Polarity Items which must be within the scope of the Distributivity Operator. It is shown that by adopting a QR approach and treating events in a parallel way to other regular arguments, we can provide a better account for distance-distributivity, allowing new insights into the crosslinguistic behavior of distance-distributivity.

It is shown that by adopting a QR approach and treating events in a parallel way to other regular arguments, we can provide a better account for distance-distributivity, allowing new insights into the crosslinguistic behavior of distance-distributivity.
