Question
Rooth’s squiggle operator constrains this syntactic feature in Hamblin alternative semantics. This syntactic feature’s effect depends on the position of scalar, additive, or exclusive particles like the adverbs even, also, and only. In Rizzi’s left periphery, this usually ungrammaticalized feature is sandwiched between phrases of a similar feature that comments on known information and is paraphrased with “as for.” Information structure describes givenness, topic, and (*) this feature, which presupposes a certain background and fronts similarly to wh-movement. In it-cleft sentences like “it was SAM who buzzed,” this feature, notated by all-caps, is marked by a wider pitch range. Sentences that differ truth-conditionally only in emphasis exemplify this feature’s “contrastive” type, which applies to reduplication in “I like-like her.” For 10 points, the part of an utterance that conveys new information is stressed via what syntactic feature’s F-marking? ■END■
