https://www.bilketa.eus/ark:/27020/Artxiker-00741175Centre de recherche sur la langue et les textes basques (IKER)Etxeberria, Urtzi (19..-....)IKER, artxibo-007411752012Based on Basque data (and in line with Etxeberria & Giannakidou 2010, to appear), this paper argues that the domain for quantifiers in certain languages is restricted overtly by a definite determiner (D). This strategy of domain restriction via D--DDR--happens by applying DDR to the nominal argument, but DDR can also apply to the Q-det itself, in which case it forms a constituent with it. In both cases, DDR is a type preserving function, i.e. a modifier, and supplies the contextual C variable. This analysis provides support for the program that domain restriction is syntactically realized, but an important refinement is proposed: domain restriction can affect the Q-det itself (pace Stanley 2002), and in fact quite systematically in certain languages. The Qdet that is affected by DDR is typically a strong one. So-called weak quantifiers cannot be contextually restricted by DDR. Crucially in Basque, D only appears with strong quantifiers.https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00741175https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00741175v1/file/np_etxeberria.pdfPrépublication | Aurreagerpenavignette : https://www.bilketa.eus/in/rest/Thumb/image?id=ark:/27020/Artxiker-00741175&mat=articleNumengArchive ouverte HAL | HAL artxibo irekiaEuskara (hizkuntza)Langue basquedefinite determinerstrong/weak quantifiersdomain restrictionHiztegigintza - Semantika - PragmatikaLexicographie - Sémantique - PragmatiqueThe way the definite determiner affects quantifiers in Basque
