| Inhoud: |
Previous research suggests that children's behavior with respect to the interpretation of indefinite objects in negative sentences may differ depending on the target language: whereas young English-speaking children tend to select a surface scope interpretation (e.g., Musolino (1998)), young Dutch-speaking children consistently prefer an inverse scope interpretation (e.g., Kamer (2000)). In this article, we suggest that these data are not as puzzling as they first appear. Extending a proposal put forward by Hulsey, Hacquard, Fox, and Gualmini (2004), we show that both English- and Dutch-speaking children's behavior can be explained in the same way: children select the interpretation that answers the contextually relevant question. |
