Split constructions are widespread in natural languages. 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--namely, 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.
