Abstract:

This collection is an important contribution to the semantic and syntactic
analysis of the expression of existence. The volume focuses on the three
main linguistic constructions expressing existence: copular clauses,
existential sentences, and (in)definiteness. The papers analyze the
interaction between the basic notion of existence and pervasive phenomena
of natural language, such as quantification and presupposition. The
contributions represent state of the art research on theoretical and
comparative issues related to the expression of existence, and make
extensive reference to the semantic and syntactic facts of English and of
various other languages. The richness of new data and the juxtaposition of
different theoretical stances bring a number of new questions into focus.

Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories
                            Semantics
