AbstractThe paper develops a uniform compositional analysis of the various readings of the scalar particle still and its German counterpart noch. Noch/still is a presuppositional scalar particle that gives rise to implicatures. Interpretive possibilities arise through different choices for the scale that the particle associates with, different attachment sites in the syntax, and interaction with focus. These interpretive parameters allow for a wide range of possible sentence interpretations, which overlap, but do not coincide for still and noch. The contrastive perspective allows us to examine the role of scales in the grammar. The implicatures triggered by the scalar item open an interesting perspective for the generation of implicatures in general.

标量粒子的读数：noch/still

摘要本文对标量粒子 Still 及其德国对应物 noch 的各种读数进行了统一的成分分析。Noch/still 是一个产生含义的预设标量粒子。通过对粒子关联的尺度的不同选择、句法中的不同附着位点以及与焦点的相互作用，产生了解释的可能性。这些解释参数允许范围广泛的可能的句子解释，这些解释重叠，但对于 still 和 noch 并不重合。对比视角使我们能够检查量表在语法中的作用。标量项触发的含义为一般含义的生成打开了一个有趣的视角。
