The English pronoun it can anaphorically take on the meaning of a salient generalized quantifier when it occurs in subject position followed by an elided Verb Phrase and (optionally) a VP-level operator. The extent to which theories of pronoun interpretation will have to be altered to take account of this finding will depend on whether the phenomenon is unique to English or part of a crosslinguistic pattern.

英语中性单数代词解释中广义量词语义的证据

当它出现在主语位置后跟省略的动词短语和(可选)VP级运算符时,英语代词它可以指代显着广义量词的含义。代词解释理论必须在多大程度上改变以考虑这一发现将取决于这种现象是英语独有的还是跨语言模式的一部分。
