• Non-monotonicity in NPI licensing (2014, background): “A prominent class of such NPIs are minimizers like lift a finger and a single book (cf. Heim 1984, Guerzoni 2004).”
• RHETORICAL QUESTIONS AS QUESTIONS (2007, background): “We suggest that an approach along the line of Guerzoni (2003, 2004) can account for these facts by analyzing strong NPIs as presupposition triggers and by means of a general mechanism of presupposition projection in questions.”
• Mandarin hen and Universal Markedness in gradable adjectives (2012, background): “…lies in the proposal that polar questions involve a covert morpheme /0whether whose function parallels that of wh words in wh questions (Bennett 1977; Higginbotham 1993; Guerzoni 2004): semantically, its function is to quantify over the polarity values (namely, yes and no) of the proposition.”
• The landscape of EVEN (2007, background): “But the bias is a conversational implicature: we can still answer the questions positively without contradiction (see also Guerzoni, 2004; van Rooy, 2003).”
