초록
The English exceptive construction expresses an exclusion from a generalization. The construction, which can be classified into two subtypes, connected and free exceptives, has been analyzed from a set-theoretic perspective with a limited set of intuition-based data. This paper first reviews its key grammatical properties and discusses some issues from previous analyses. The paper then investigates real-life usages based on the attested data extracted from the COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English). The paper tries to offer a nonderivational discourse-based analysis that could account for the observed grammatical properties of the construction.
Abstract
The English exceptive construction expresses an exclusion from a generalization.

The paper then investigates real-life usages based on the attested data extracted from the COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English). The paper tries to offer a nonderivational discourse-based analysis that could account for the observed grammatical properties of the construction.
