| Popis: | This article sheds light on the relation existing between quantifier scope and phenomena relating to pragmatics in Standard Arabic (SA). Note here that by "pragmatics'' I mean all that is extra-linguistic, be it the speaker's state of mind or the sum of beliefs and facts relating to real life. The pragmatic factor that refers to reallife facts gives rise to what I can call "pragmatic well-formedness''. The pragmatic factor that relates to the speaker's state of mind is the concept of presupposition which is at the basis of the notion of quantification force. With this in mind, It is demonstrated that scope in (SA) is sensitive to both pragmatic well-formedness and quantification force. Rivages, No 7 (2022) |
