Epistemic Containment
Linguistic Inquiry 34:173-98 (2003)
| Abstract | This article concerns a new constraint on the interaction of quantifier phrases and epistemic modals. It is argued that QPs cannot bind their traces across an epistemic modal, though it is shown that scoping mechanisms of a differentnature are permitted to cross epistemic modals. The nature and source of this constraint are investigated. | |||||||||
