Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has come across a quantifier that can mean both
'each' in a distributive universal quantifier sense, as well as 'any', not
in an NPI sense but in a 'any dessert you bring will be welcome' sense? I'm
aware of a reduplicative construction with this meaning in Ewe, though I'm
not sure it has been given a formal analysis.
Please write me a message if you've encountered a similar sort of
quantifier, even better if you have some resources or papers you'd be
willing to share.
Best wishes,
Madeline Ladore
