@article{Ahn_2019, title={The semantics of additive either}, volume={19}, url={https://ojs.ub.uni-konstanz.de/sub/index.php/sub/article/view/219}, abstractNote={<p>Focus particles <em>too</em> and additive <em>either</em> have been analyzed as fully presuppositional elements that presuppose an existence or reference of some salient antecedent. In this paper, I propose an alternative account of <em>too</em> and <em>either</em>, where they are two-place predicates taking as arguments the overt proposition they adjoin to and a silent propositional anaphor. While <em>too</em> asserts<br />a conjunction of the two arguments, <em>either</em> asserts a disjunction of the two arguments. The main advantages of this proposal are that <em>too</em> and <em>either</em>’s non-presuppositional behavior is accounted for, and that the conjunction-disjunction switch has implications on additive either’s NPI behavior.</p>}, journal={Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung}, author={Ahn, Dorothy}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={20–35} }
