ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I continue the examination of various types of polarity sensitive items with a discussion of a sensitive determiner: the English word any. I illustrate how several distributional facts can be derived from the impossibility of individuating the members in the domain of any, and make it clear what the ties with polarity sensitivity and scalar reversal are. The discussion highlights connections with several open issues such as the treatment of indefinites and the notions of specificity and generic statement.
