The fact that both indefinites and or coordinations can give rise to free choice readings is explained by noting that sentences embedding these have alternative ”
On universal Free Choice items (2010, methodology): “Much current research aims to provide such an analysis (see e.g., Aloni 2003, 2007a, b; Abrusán 2007a; Arregui 2006; Dayal 1998, 2004; Chierchia 2006; Farkas 2006; Giannakidou 2001; Giannakidou and Cheng 2006; Horn 2000, 2005; Jayez and Tovena 2005; Quer 1998, 2000; Sæbø 2001, among others).”
