The novel hypothesis at the core of that proposal was that\u00a0fc\u00a0and related inferences are a straightforward consequence of a tendency in human cognition to neglect models that verify sentences by virtue of some empty configurations (neglect-zero). Using tools from team semantics [YV17], [Alo22] showed that neglect-zero derives\u00a0fc\u00a0inferences (when interpreting disjunctions speakers associate each disjunct with a non-empty possibility) and their cancellation under negation. The latter result relied on the adopted bilateralism, where each connective comes with an assertion and a rejection condition and negation is defined in terms of the latter notion.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In this talk I will present DyBSML, a quantified dynamic version of BSML, which captures besides\u00a0fc\u00a0and related inferences also cross-sentential and donkey anaphora and their interactions with modality [GSV96, Alo00]. One difference with respect to classical dynamic semantics [e.g., GS91, GSV96] concerns the treatment of negation. Like BSML, DyBSML will validate double negation elimination and therefore provide an account of Barbara Partee\u2019s bathroom example [KM95]:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list -->\n<ul>\n<li>(3) Either there is no bathroom in this house or it\u2019s in a funny place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>DyBSML will be further applied to capture the obligatory ignorance infer- ence triggered by epistemic indefinites in German and other languages [AOMB15, AP15]:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<ul>\n<li>(4) Epistemic indefinites (German)Epistemic indefinites (Germ an)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a01.
