Downward Entailing and Chinese Polarity Items

By Li Chen
About Downward Entailing and Chinese Polarity Items

Employing the downward entailing hypothesis as its analytical foundation, this book argues that downward entailment is the only licensor for different kinds of Chinese polarity items, and non-veridicality is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition and thus offers inferior explanatory power compared with the former.
