Abstract

1. morphology isn’t always the right clue: Czech no more behaves as class B, despite its comparative morphology 2. the experiment brings support for the CM vs. SM theory presented by Kennedy 2015: the distinction between class A/B = the type of ordering relation (strict vs. non-strict) – semantics • Czech no more can be interpreted as ¬ (strict) → ordering entailments of non-strict ordering • regular differential quantifiers (slightly-less) remain strictly ordered, thus class A
