A scope freezing effect with negated quantifier phrases

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

I document a scope freezing effect found with negated quantifier phrases (distinct from the scope freezing effect discussed in Collins (Nat Lang Semant 24: 291–303, 2016a)). In a sentence with a negated quantifier phrase of the form [NEG DP₁], no quantifier phrase DP₂ can take scope between NEG and DP₁. I show how this scope freezing effect can be explained in terms of the analysis of negated quantifier phrases given in Collins and Postal (Classical NEG raising, MIT Press, Cambridge, 2014) and Collins (2016a).
