Downward Entailing and Chinese Polarity Items - Frontiers in Applied Linguistics
Chen, Li (Assistant Professor, School of Humanities, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China)
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.
