題目：A crosslinguistic syntax of scalar and non-scalar focus particle sentences: the view from Vietnamese and Chinese日期：2017年10月3日 (星期二)
時間：中午12時30分 開始
地點：人社院 B305 教室
摘要：
In this talk, I proposes a distributed syntax for Vietnamese and Chinese focus particle sentences. It disentangles syntactically the inclusion and exclusion of alternatives typical of focus particle uses from scalar components of meaning that many focus particle sentences convey. Vietnamese and Chinese are shown to have highly elaborate lexical paradigms that map plausibly onto the postulated syntactic and semantic functions. The article then turns to very similar phenomena from German and Dutch. It concludes with the hunch that the system as it unfolds in Vietnamese and Chinese is, in fact, simply an explicit instantiation of a pattern underlying focus particle sentences at a much more general level.
