Linguists seek to develop an understanding of the rules and laws that govern the structure and use of particular languages and the manner in which these interact with internal systems and processes (interpretation, speech perception, and production) and with the outside world (acquisition, use, change and role in society). The articles in this volume present a valuable addition to answering three important questions about knowledge in linguistics: What is knowledge in linguistics, how is it acquired, and how is it put to use? Apart from the data on the specific phenomena addressed in the articles, the book presents insight into the palette of present-day linguistics. In this way, it aims to break open the division of linguistics into subfields thereby making possible cross-fertilisation. 150 1 13 2010 1 21 2010 9789027255334 9789027288660 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/la.150 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027288660 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027288660.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/la.150/html Raffaella Bernardi Free University of Bozen-Bolzano https://ror.org/012ajp527 In this paper we look at the interpretation of Quantifier Phrases from the perspective of Symmetric Categorial Grammar. We show how the apparent mismatch between the syntactic and semantic behaviour of these expressions can be resolved in a typelogical system equipped with two Merge relations: one for syntactic units, and one for the evaluation contexts of the semantic values associated with these syntactic units. 1 13 2010 1 21 2010 11 54 10.1075/la.150.01ber https://benjamins.com/catalog/la.150.01ber https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/la.150.01ber/html
