Pluractional comparisons
Linguistics and Philosophy 35 (1):57-110 (2012)
| Abstract | This paper develops a semantic analysis of data like It is getting colder and colder. Their meaning is argued to arise from a combination of a comparative with pluractionality. The analysis is embedded in a general theory of plural predication and pluractionality. It supports a semantic theory involving a family of syntactic plural operators | |||||||||
