The volume focuses on the three main linguistic constructions expressing existence: copular clauses, existential sentences, and (in)definiteness. The papers analyze the interaction between the basic notion of existence and pervasive phenomena of natural language, such as quantification and presupposition. The contributions represent state of the art research on theoretical and comparative issues related to the expression of existence, and make extensive reference to the semantic and syntactic facts of English and of various other languages. The richness of new data and the juxtaposition of different theoretical stances bring a number of new questions into focus. 0aLINGUISTICS. 0aLINGUISTICSxPHILOSOPHY. 0aCOMPARATIVE LINGUISTICS. 0aROMANCE LANGUAGES. 0aSEMANTICS. 0aGRAMMAR, COMPARATIVE AND GENERALxSYNTAX.14aLINGUISTICS.24aSEMANTICS.24aSYNTAX.24aPHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE.24aCOMPARATIVE LINGUISTICS.24aROMANCE LANGUAGES.1 aHeusinger, Klaus.eeditor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9781402061981 0aStudies in Linguistics and Philosophy,x0924-4662 ;v8440uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-6197-4zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
