Exhaustivity, Contrastivity, and the Semantics of Mandarin Cleft-related Structures
Exhaustivity, Contrastivity, and the Semantics of Mandarin Cleft-related Structures investigates the semantics of the cleft and cleft-related structures in Mandarin, which, over several decades, have presented analytical challenges for semantic theory.The goal of this book, in broad terms, is three-fold: (i) to figure out what clefting adds to the semantics of a sentence; (ii) to set apart the meaning and the discourse function of each type of cleft-related structure; and (iii) to provide a uniform analysis of Mandarin clefts and their related structures. (ii) what do exhaustivity and contrastivity contribute to the meaning of clefts? More specifically, it addresses the following questions: (i) what is the semantics of Mandarin clefts?
(iii) what are the semantic (or pragmatic) factors that determine the variation of clefts, related structures, and canonical
