Czech evidential relatives introduced by jak, 'how': Recognitional cues for the hearer

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper provides a thorough description of Czech relative clauses introduced by the complementizer jak &apos;how&apos;. We argue that jak-relatives convey an evidential implication, whereby the speaker expects the hearer to have evidence that the predicate-type denotation of the relative clause truthfully applies to its referential head. For instance, &quot;the man how smoked&quot; implies that the hearer has evidence that the man smoked. We further argue that the evidential implication is a conventional implicature in the sense of Potts (2005) - it cannot be semantically embedded, the relative clause cannot be headed by quantificational heads, and cannot contain expressions semantically dependent on matrix operators. At the same time, jak-relatives appear to be able to be arguments of so-called recognitional demonstratives. Counter to Potts&apos; basic assumption, jak-relatives exhibit the paradoxical behavior of commenting on the relative clause head while being able to co-determine its extension.
