Spanish Modal Indefinite Fragment

Lexical entries for Spanish modal indefinites algún ([AOMB10]: epistemic, with an anti-singleton domain constraint) and uno cualquiera ([AOMB18]: random choice).

def Spanish.ModalIndefinites.algúnEntry : Features.ModalIndefinite.ModalIndefiniteEntry

algún: not-at-issue, epistemic only, upper-bounded. The modal component is a conversational implicature derived from the anti-singleton constraint on the domain ([AOMB10], §4).

Equations

• Spanish.ModalIndefinites.algúnEntry = { form := "algún", status := Features.ModalIndefinite.ModalComponentStatus.notAtIssue, flavors := [Modality.ModalFlavor.epistemic], upperBounded := true }

def Spanish.ModalIndefinites.unoCualquieraEntry : Features.ModalIndefinite.ModalIndefiniteEntry

uno cualquiera: at-issue, random choice only, upper-bounded. The random-choice interpretation requires a volitional predicate; with non-volitional predicates only the unremarkable reading is available ([AOMB18], §1.1).
