....that apply a number of syntactically motivated preference rules have been suggested. Instead of inferring a most plausible reading, these methods suggest a combinatorial approach where less likely readings are incrementally disallowed. See (Allen 1987) Hobbs Shieber 1987) Moran 1988) and (Park 1995). While a number of important results have been achieved, the problem of quantifier scope ambiguity is still largely unresolved. Ironically, while admitting multiple LFs (multiple derivations in PTQ) for a syntactically unambiguous sentence is a recognition of the semantic nature of the problem, ....

.... The brother of, and John believes that, Pete slept. It seems worth exploring an alternative response to these observations concerning interactions of surface structure and scope taking. The present paper follows Woods (1975) VanLehn (1978) Webber (1978) Fodor (1982) Fodor and Sag (1982) and Park (1995, 1996) in explaining scope ambiguities in terms of a distinction between true generalized quantifiers and other purely referential categories. For example, in order to capture the narrow scope object reading for Geach s right node raised sentence (8b) in whose CCG derivation the object must ....

....Quantifier Scope We may assume (at least for English) that even the non standard constituents created by function composition in CCG cannot increase the number of quantifiable arguments for an operator beyond the limit of three or four imposed by the lexicon. It follows that the observation of Park (1995, 1996) that only quantified arguments of a single (possibly composed) function can freely alternate scope places an upper bound on the number of readings. The logical form of an n quantifier sentence is a term with an operator of valency 1, 2 or 3, whose argument(s) must either be quantified ....

.... and Weir, 1994) But CCG Std cannot handle the generalization of type raising that has been used in accounting for various linguistic phenomena including: coordination and extraction (Steedman, 1985; Dowty, 1988; Steedman, 1996) prosody (Prevost and Steedman, 1993) and quantifier scope (Park, 1995). Intuitively, all of these phenomena call for a non traditional, more flexible notion of constituency capable of representing surface structures including (Subj V) Obj) in English. Although lexical type raising involving variables can be introduced to derive such a constituent, 1 ....

....form can be dispensed with entirely in capturing quantifier scope ambiguity. It offers a new semantics whereby the effects of quantifier scope alternation can be obtained by an entirely monotonic derivation, without typechanging rules. The paper follows Fodor (1982) Fodor and Sag (1982) and Park (1995, 1996) in viewing many apparent scope ambiguities as arising from referential categories rather than true generalized quantifiers. 1 Introduction It is standard to assume that the ambiguity of sentences like (1) is to be accounted for by assigning two logical forms which differ in the scopes ....

The paper follows Fodor (1982) Fodor and Sag (1982) and Park (1995, 1996) in explaining scope ambiguities in terms of lexical ambiguity of determiners between true quantifiers and other referential categories, as opposed to doing so via underspecification. 1 Introduction Quantifier scope ambiguities have on occasion been explained in terms of quantifier ....

Park (1995, 1996) points out that for sentences like the following (adapted from Hobbs and Shieber 1987) four readings are self evidently available, but a further reading which is predicted by these theories is problematic: 8) Every representative of three companies saw some sample.

....scopes might be found. 3 A Structure for Representing Quantifier Scopes Our approach is based on the theory of scope availability that claims that for any n ary relation in a sentence, there are n possible orderings of quantifiers around that relation (this has recently been expounded by Park [Par95]) Other quantifiers in the sentence should not intercalate between those which are single arguments to a relation. So for example, in the sentence Every representative of a company saw most samples, there are four possible scopes, because there are two relations; saw and of. Around saw, every ....
