The pragmatics of propositional anaphora in English
English employs a variety of devices to refer back to propositions, including demonstratives, the null complement anaphor, the pronominal it and the proform so. The last of these shows a relatively limited distribution. The relative distribution of it and so has been the subject of much inquiry. In this paper, I examine their differences in responses to polar questions, in response to assertions and in the context of anaphora to embedded proposit…
In defense of the grammatical approach to local implicatures
Licensing strong NPIs
Superlatives, NPIs and Most
The ability of English determiner most to license negative polarity items (NPIs) has long stood as a puzzle for theories that follow Ladusaw (1979) in claiming that NPIs must appear in the scope of downward entailing (DE) operators.

In this paper, I argue that despite appearances to the contrary, NPIs in the restrict…
