@article{Champollion_2019, title={A unified account of distributivity, for-adverbias, and pseudopartitives}, volume={14}, url={https://ojs.ub.uni-konstanz.de/sub/index.php/sub/article/view/461}, abstractNote={<p>This paper presents a diagnostic for identifying distributive constructions and shows that it applies to pseudopartitives and <em>for</em>-adverbials. On this basis, a unified account is proposed for the parallels between the constructions involved. This account explains why <em>for</em>-adverbials reject telic predicates (*<em>run to the store for five hours</em>), why pseudopartitives reject count nouns (*<em>five pounds of book</em>), and why both reject certain measure functions like temperature and speed (*<em>30°C of water, *drive for 5 mph</em>). These restrictions all follow from a general constraint on distributive constructions. Related concepts such as the <em>D</em> operator (Link, 1987), the subinterval property (Bennett and Partee, 1972), and divisive reference (Cheng, 1973) can be understood as formalizing special cases of this constraint.</p>}, journal={Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung}, author={Champollion, Lucas}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={84–100} }
