초록
The purpose of this paper is to review May’s (1977, 1985) Quantifier Raising in Autonomous Syntax, to look for problems in QR and to find out how the native speakers express themselves when there are some problems. First, in Autonomous Syntax the Empty Category Principle doesn’t play enough role to get rid of ill-formed sentences with regard to quantifier raising in Logical Form. Second, Quantifier Raising does not show consistency in raising quantifiers because sometimes quantifier adjoins to VP and other times it adjoins to IP. Third, there are some differences between Indo-European Languages and East Asian Languages in the interpretation of (1). (1) Someone loves everyone. (2) a. There exists (very loving) x such that for every y, x loves y. b. For every y, there is (in this lucky world) some x or other who loves y. Even native informants have a hard time obtaining (2b) reading. And even if they want to have (2b) reading, they do not speak like (1). Rather, they would speak like (3a, b). (3) a. Some other persons love everyone. b. Some other people love everyone. Interestingly, the claim exists in the literature that in East Asian languages, (2b) reading is not possible either. So we should analyse languages differently according to the intuition of the native speakers.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review May’s (1977, 1985) Quantifier Raising in Autonomous Syntax, to look for problems in QR and to find out how the native speakers express themselves when there are some problems. First, in Autonomous Syntax the Empty Category Principle doesn’t play enough role to get rid of ill-formed sentences with regard to quantifier raising in Logical Form. Second, Quantifier Raising does not show consistency in raising quantifiers because sometimes quantifier adjoins to VP and other times it adjoins to IP. Third, there are some differences between Indo-European Languages and East Asian Languages in the interpretation of (1). (1) Someone loves everyone. (2) a. There exists (very loving) x such that for every y, x loves y. b. For every y, there is (in this lucky world) some x or other who loves y. Even native informants have a hard time obtaining (2b) reading. And even if they want to have (2b) reading, they do not speak like (1). Rather, they would speak like (3a, b). (3) a. Some other persons love everyone. b. Some other people love everyone. Interestingly, the claim exists in the literature that in East Asian languages, (2b) reading is not possible either. So we should analyse languages differently according to the intuition of the native speakers.
