- Abstract
- It has been a standard view in the literature that a negative polarity item is an existential quantifier under the scope of its licensor (Ladusaw 1979, among many others). Given this, the strict locality and limited distribution of the Korean negative polarity item amwuto ‘anyone' has drawn much interest in Korean literature. I suggest that amwuto is a universal quantifier, scoping over the licensor, following Chung and Park (1998), and Choi (2011) and will show that this view can provide a more satisfactory account for its limited distribution and strict locality.
