Book description: Mouton de Gruyter, 2008. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Hinterwimmer presents a revised version of the Ph.D. thesis he completed at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Based almost exclusively on analysis of English and German data, the text deals with the interpretation of adverbially quantified sentences containing definite DPs and free relatives (FRs), concentrating on the origins of Quantificational Variability Effects (QVEs). Coverage includes QVEs in sentences with FRs, singular definites and universally quantified DPs, and QVEs in sentences with FRs or plural definites. The text will interest linguists working in formal semantics and the syntax-semantics interface, and philosophers of language interested in adverbial quantification and situation and event semantics; it also offers graduate students an introduction to the core issues of situation semantics and adverbial quantification.
