Economy and Semantic Interpretation
TL;DR: In Economy and Semantic Interpretation, Danny Fox investigates the relevance of principles of optimization (economy) to the interface between syntax and semantics and argues for various economy conditions that constrain the application of "covert" operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic Linearization of Syntactic Structure
Danny Fox,David Pesetsky +1 more
TL;DR: The cyclic linearization proposal makes predictions that cross-cut the details of particular syntactic configurations, and argues that ‘‘cross-construction’’ consistency of this sort is in fact found.
Book ChapterDOI
Free Choice and the Theory of Scalar Implicatures
TL;DR: In this article, the conjunctive interpretation of a family of disjunctive constructions, referred to as the free choice effect (FCE), is attested for all constructions in which a sentence appears under the scope of an existential quantifier and a universal quantifier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstruction, Binding Theory, and the Interpretation of Chains
TL;DR: Interactions between the scope of QPs and the restrictions imposed by binding theory are investigated and Condition C applies at (and only at) LF and it is demonstrated that this condition can serve as a powerful tool for distinguishing among various claims regarding the nature of LF and the inventory of semantic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of extraposition and covert movement proposed by Fox and Nissenbaum (1999) together with certain assumptions about the structure of relative clauses and the way chains are interpreted is proposed.
