The Syntax and Semantics of Unselected Embedded Questions (2001, background): “Again, the correct analysis of FCIs is controversial (see e.g., Carlson 1981, Kadmon & Landman 1993, Davison 1980, Dayal 1997, 1998).”
Indeterminate Pronouns: The View from Japanese (2017, unknown): “The special link with modality is a well-known property of free choice indefinites and plays a crucial role in the analyses of free choice indefinites proposed in Dayal 1998, Giannakidou 2001, and Saebø 2001.”
Non-monotonicity in NPI licensing (2014, background): “Second: Another topic that needs to be investigated is the distribution of so-called free choice any (e.g., Dayal 1998, Chierchia 2013).”
On universal Free Choice items (2010, background): “However, Dayal (1998) has shown that this prediction is not borne out.”
Broaden Your Views: Implicatures of Domain Widening and the Logicality of Language (2006, background): “Dayal (1998) carefully lays out several of the key generalizations about FCIs like any.”
FREE CHOICE IN MODAL CONTEXTS (2003, background): “For example, Dayal (1998) and Giannakidou (2001) propose to analyze FCanyas an intensional quantifier, that is, a quantifier ranging over intensional objects rather than individuals, which, therefore, requires an intensional context in order to be felicitous (the quantifier requires a modal…”
The Semantics Of Scandinavian Free Choice Items (2001, methodology): “Recently, Dayal (1998) has argued that FC any is a universal of a very special type, quantifying over pairs of individuals and situations, while Giannakidou (this issue) argues that Greek FCIs are existential quantifiers which must be evaluated with respect to a set of worlds.”
