Fox and Spector (Nat Lang Semant 26:1–50, 2018) use multiple instances of the exhaustivity operator EXH to derive the correct meaning of utterances that include pitch-focus marked disjunction in downward-entailing environments. They argue that the \(\sim \) operator evaluates alternatives to be used by EXH. Though the method is sound and gets the right result, we argue that the way in which EXH would need to interact with other instances of EXH, as well as other focus-sensitive elements, is at odds with how EXH is used to explain other phenomena. Specifically, the analysis in Fox and Spector (2018) predicts intervention effects for cases where EXH interacts with other focus-sensitive elements. This is problematic for many cases in which EXH is used to derive the desired inferences. We propose a different way of focus association for EXH that would work for the approach introduced in Fox and Spector (2018) as well as elsewhere. In addition, our account does not require a covert element to be focused.

EXH传递替代方案：《福克斯与幽灵》评论（2018）

Fox and Spector（Nat Lang Semant 26：1–50，2018年）使用穷举运算符EXH的多个实例来得出发声的正确含义，包括在向下的环境中音高聚焦标记的分离。他们认为\（\ sim \）操作员评估EXH使用的替代方案。尽管该方法是正确的并且可以得到正确的结果，但我们认为EXH需要与其他EXH实例以及其他对焦点敏感的元素进行交互的方式与EXH用于解释其他现象的方式不一致。 。具体而言，Fox and Spector（2018）中的分析预测了EXH与其他对焦点敏感的元素相互作用时的干预效果。这在许多情况下是有问题的，其中使用EXH来导出所需的推论。我们为EXH提出了一种不同的焦点关联方式，该方式适用于Fox和Spector（2018）以及其他地方引入的方法。此外，我们的帐户不需要隐蔽元素成为重点。
