Split Scope of Negative Indefinites
View through CrossRef
AbstractNegative indefinites, i.e. expressions like English nobody and no boy, give rise to split scope readings where another operator takes scope in between the negative and the indefinite meaning component. Split readings are puzzling under the standard analysis of negative indefinites as negative quantifiers. This article surveys recent approaches to split scope.
