Stephen J Barker
I analyse scope relations between indefinite descriptions, universal noun phrases, and negation. A unified compositional account of any is offered. Relative clause modification, as in Every dog that likes barking, and complexes phrases, such as the friend of every girl, are analysed with ease.
Keywords: any, indefinite description, negation, predicate, predicate-application scope, sentential determination, universal noun phrase
