ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with the interpretation of head-distant intensifiers in English, both at the sentence level and at the word level. In Section 6.1, the function of exclusive SELF is examined, starting with the type of alternative propositions evoked by sentences containing exclusive SELF. In Section 6.2, some assumptions concerning the syntaxsemantics interface are outlined. Section 6.3 offers a semantic analysis of exclusive SELF which derives the semantic effects described in Section 6.1 compositionally. This section also addresses some of the distributional asymmetries pointed out in Chapter 5.
