FCIs zijn niet in de bereik van episodische contexten Negatieve episodic contexten: Negatieve episodic contexten: Je n’ ai pas parlé à n’importe qui Je n’ ai pas parlé à n’importe qui I not have not spoken to FC-anyone I not have not spoken to FC-anyone I did not meet just anyone.

FCIs zijn gramaticale in Modale contexten: Modale contexten: Boris na paris opjadhipote karta Boris na paris opjadhipote karta Can SUBJ take any card Can SUBJ take any card You can take any card! You can take any card! Conditionele contexten: Conditionele contexten: Ean lisis opjadhipote askisi, tha paris dheka Ean lisis opjadhipote askisi, tha paris dheka If solve any exercise will take ten If solve any exercise will take ten If you solve any problem, I will give you a ten! If you solve any problem, I will give you a ten! In een word: nonveridicale contexten In een word: nonveridicale contexten

Nonveridicality (Zwarts 1995, Giannakidou 2001) Let c be a context which contains a set M of models relative to an individual x. Let c be a context which contains a set M of models relative to an individual x. A propositional operator Op is veridical iff [[Op p]] c = 1 → [[p]]=1 in some epistemic model M E (x)  c; otherwise Op is nonveridical. A propositional operator Op is veridical iff [[Op p]] c = 1 → [[p]]=1 in some epistemic model M E (x)  c; otherwise Op is nonveridical. Yesterday, I saw a student → I saw a student (VER) Yesterday, I saw a student → I saw a student (VER)  Binding by a default existential quantifier (existential closure Heim 1982) There is a student in the court → A student is in the yard There is a student in the court → A student is in the yard 

Nonveridical en antiveridical Nonveridical Nonveridical You may go out with a student-/ → You go out with a student Antiveridical A nonveridical operator Op is antiveridical iff [[Op p]]c =1 [[p]]=0 in some epistemic model ME(x)  c. Yesterday, I did not see a student → (I saw a student)

Epistemic model An epistemic model M E (x) is a set of worlds associated with an individual x, representing worlds compatible with what x believes An epistemic model M E (x) is a set of worlds associated with an individual x, representing worlds compatible with what x believes M E (x)(w) ={w’:p[x believes p(w)  p(w’)]}, where w is a world of evaluation and x an individual M E (x)(w) ={w’:p[x believes p(w)  p(w’)]}, where w is a world of evaluation and x an individual

Licensing conditions voor FCIs Een FCI a is gramaticaal in een zin S desda: Een FCI a is gramaticaal in een zin S desda: (i) a is de bereik van een nonveridicaal operator b en (i) a is de bereik van een nonveridicaal operator b en (ii) S is niet episodisch (ii) S is niet episodisch

Waarom zijn FCIs SIs? (I) FCIs zijn indefinites: ze introduceren alleen een free variable (II) Indefinites + intensional (III) Indefinites + Variatie

Indefinites zijn free variables (I) Een indefinite is een free variable zonder quantificationele macht. (Heim, on Lewis 1975, zie ook Kamp 1981) De free variable is bound in 2 manieren: (a) in de bereik van een unselective kwantor (a) in de bereik van een unselective kwantor If a man owns a donkey, he always beats it If a man owns a donkey, he always beats it (b) Door existential closure () (b) Door existential closure () A dog is coming. It wants to come in. A dog is coming. It wants to come in. Voor EC: (dog(x 1 )&is-coming(x 1 )&(x 1 )wants-to-come-in) Met EC:  1 (dog(x 1 )&is-coming(x 1 )&(x 1 )wants-to-come-in)

FCIs zijn indefinites (I) Ze zijn niet Universele kwantoren: geen universele macht Ze zijn niet Universele kwantoren: geen universele macht Idha olus tus fitites Idha olus tus fitites Saw all the students Saw all the students I saw all students I saw all students *Idha opjondhipote fititi *Idha opjondhipote fititi Saw FC student Saw FC student * I saw any student * I saw any student

FCIs zijn indefinites (I) Donkey anaphora: universals zijn statisch maar existentials niet I fitites pu aghorasan kathe vivlio na mu to dhiksun I fitites pu aghorasan kathe vivlio na mu to dhiksun *The students that bought every book show it to me immediately *The students that bought every book show it to me immediately I fitites pu aghorasan opjodhipote vivlio na mu to dhiksun The students that bought any book show it to me immediately The students that bought any book show it to me immediately I fitites pu aghorasan ena vivlio na mu to dhiksun The students that bought a book show it to me immediately The students that bought a book show it to me immediately

FCIs zijn indefinites (I) Universal quantifiers have inverse scope over the licensing operator Some student will pick up every speaker from the airport x[student(x) y[invited speaker(y)  pick- up(x,y) ]] x[student(x) y[invited speaker(y)  pick- up(x,y) ]] Some student will pick up any speaker from the airport x[student(x) y[invited speaker(y)  pick- up(x,y) ]] #x[student(x) y[invited speaker(y)  pick- up(x,y) ]]

FCIs zijn indefinites (I) Existentiele interpretatie als indefinites Dhialekse opjodhipote forema Pick any dress Pick some dress! Existentiele en universele interpretatie als indefinites If a noise bothers you, please tell us. If any noise bothers you, please tell us.

FCIs=intensional indefinites (II) Verschill tussen intensionality en extensionality Montague (1969) John is seeking the president John is seeking Mary’s father Mary’s father is a president Mary’s father en the president=dezelfde extension maar niet dezelfde intension! Intensions are functions from possible worlds to corresponding extensions

FCIs=intensional indefinites (II) *Idha opjondhipote fititi *I saw any student I saw a student I saw a student FCIs combine with an intensional NP A student: student(x)/ A student: student(x)/ Any student: student(x,w) >  Nodig van een intensional operator!

FCIs=intensional indefinites (II) Modaliteit: Boris na dhanistis opjodhipote vivlio You can borrow any book  x C x where  is compatible with all worlds w (Kratzer 1977)

FCIs=indefinites + variatie (III) i-alternatives (from Dayal 1997) A world w 1 is an i-alternative wrt a iff there exists some w 2 such that [[a]] w 1 ≠ [[a]] w 2  Nonveridicality (modaliteit): introduceren i-alternatives

FCIs=indefinites + variatie (III) Anti-licensed door veridicality (geen i- alternative) *Idha opjondhipote fititi Saw FC student Saw FC student *I saw any student

Een ‘’hulp’’: subtrigging Legrand (1975) *I grabbed any tool I grabbed any tool that I found x, w[[tool(x,w)found(I,x,y)  grabbed (I,x,y)]] = an implicit conditional (nonveridical) operator
