TY - JOUR ID - 2351238 AU - Wągiel, Marcin - Gehrke, Berit PY - 2023 TI - Non-conservative construals with percentage quantifiers in Slavic PB - Journal of Slavic Linguistics, Slavic Linguistics Society CY - Nova Gorica KW - conservativity KW - proportional quantifier KW - percentage quantifier KW - word order KW - information structure KW - non-conservativity UR - http://ojs.ung.si/index.php/JSL/article/view/181 N2 - The paper investigates non-conservative, as opposed to conservative, interpretations of sentences with percentage quantifiers corresponding to ‘fifty percent’ in Slavic. Based on the results of a questionnaire study in Slavic languages with (Bulgarian and Macedonian) and without definiteness marking (BCMS, Czech, Polish, Russian, Slovak, and Slovenian), we make the novel observation that word order is a main and sometimes the only means to distinguish between conservative and non-conservative readings. We argue that for the non-conservative reading to arise the percentage quantifier has to appear in a low position, VP-internally, in order to be part of the predicate and to take the VP’s extension as its first argument.
