NPIs cross-cut all traditional categories in grammar and semantics, yet their distribution is by no means arbitrary. Theories of NPI licensing have been proposed in terms of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics - each with its own merits and problems. The volume comprises state-of-the-art studies and suggests an interpolation approach to NPI licensing UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110305234 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110305234 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110305234/original ER -
