• SEMANTICS OF A PARTICULAR TYPE OF INDEFINITE PRONOUN : CASE STUDY OF BANGLA NEGATIVE POLARITY ITEMS

Anumitra Ghosh Dastidar

Abstract: In this article, I discuss the logic of distributional restriction in a group of Bangla Negative Polarity Items (NPIs) that share the morphology with indefinites. NPIs are seen as expressions that occur under the c-command of negation or in the semantic scope of negation (von Fintel, 1999).
