Alternatives in Semantics is the first volume to focus on
alternatives as a key theme. It offers a survey of the use of
alternatives in semantics and pragmatics, and an overview of
current approaches and applications of alternative-based semantics,
from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. The chapters
represent different theoretical frameworks, which differ in the way
they conceive of the source of alternatives, the status of
alternatives, or the precise way in which they enter semantic
composition. The contributions focus on various empirical phenomena
making reference to alternatives (negative polarity and free choice
phenomena, implicatures, presupposition, focus and intervention
effects), offering new insights and exploring connections between
them. The chapters assembled in this volume demonstrate the
vitality of alternative-based semantics and offer a clear
perspective on the many challenging questions that arise from its
increasing range of applications.
