The separation of the semantic restriction of a quantifier from that quantifier is a typical example of such a construction. This study addresses the problem that such discontinuous strings exhibit a number of locality constraints, including intervention effects. These are shown to follow from the interaction of a minimalist syntax with a semantics that directly assigns a model-theoretic interpretation to syntactic logical forms. The approach is shown to have wide empirical coverage and a conceptual simplicity. The book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of syntax and semantics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45282020917399,"sku":"9781403921123","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781403921123.webp?v=1769300909","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-syntax-and-semantics-of-split-constructions-a-comparative-study-9781403921123","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
