“从来”的隐现极性特征与梯级逻辑

The emergent polarity sensitivity and scalar logic of conglai

"从来"的隐现极性特征与它本身的宏量义和它所修饰的对象密切相关。当它用于叙述起始体、完成体事件时显现出负极性特征,用于叙述持续状态和事件时则隐匿极性特征。"从来"用于扩大时间域和增强命题的信息度,它能启动时间与事件、状态的先验累计概率构成的单调函数,引导梯级含义。某些下向蕴涵算子能允准"从来"用于叙述完成体事件,是因为它们能实现"从来"增强信息度的功能。

The emergent polarity sensitivity of conglai is affected by both the maximal semantics it encodes and the elements it modifies.It is sensitive to negative polarity when it is in utteraces about events of inchoate or perfect aspect,while it is insensitive to polarity when it is in utteraces about durative states or events.Conglai widens the time domain and strengthens the statement it is in.It triggers scalar implicatures via the monotonic functions between time and a priori cummulative probabilities of events and states.Some downward-entailing operators can license conglai in the propositions about the events of perfect aspect because strenthening is satisfied by them.
