| "abstract": "Expressions in Japanese with indeterminates such as \"nani (what)\" and \"dare (who)\" get interpretations very much like universal quantification or existential quantification when followed by conjunctive particle \"mo\" or disjunctive particle \"ka\". Focusing our attention on sequences of the form <indeterminate + ka> such as \"nani-ka (something)\", they generally get interpretations of \"something exists which\" in affirmative sentences, whereas they generally get interpretations of \"something exists which does not\" in negative sentences. Interestingly, the latter with negation changes its figure in conditional sentences and in concessive conditional sentences. In both of these, negative sentences with sequences of the form <indeterminate + ka> get not only interpretations of \"something exists which does not\" but also interpretations of \"nothing exists which\", depending on the situation in which utterances take place. Similar phenomena can be seen with numerals, where negation can take either a narrower or a wider scope with respect to numerical quantification in conditionals and concessives. In this paper, we would argue that those phenomena could be accounted for by postulating pragmatic inferences with conditionals and concessives, and by assuming that Japanese focus particles \"wa\" and \"mo\" in these cases function as a conditional operator and a concessive operator respectively.", |
