Pragmatic Aspects of Scalar Modifiers: The Semantics-Pragmatics Interface - Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics
Sawada, Osamu (Associate Professor of Linguistics, Associate Professor of Linguistics, Mie University)
This volume examines the meaning of scalar modifiers - expressions such as more than, a bit, and much - from the standpoint of the semantics-pragmatics interface. It draws on data from Japanese and a range of other languages to explore the information expressed by these modifiers at both the semantic and the pragmatic level.
