We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Can anyone refer me to analyses of the English expression 'at all'?
For example, 'he doesn't eat mean at all' or 'she didn't think it was
funny at all'. It does not appeaar to be a 'regular' negative polarity
item, in that 'do you want any of this at all' is marginal for me
except when it means 'will you not want any of this eventually, so I
can eat the rest of it?', whereas 'don't you want any of this at all?'
is just fine.  Thanks in advance.
