Concealed Questions with Quantifiers
Concealed question noun phrases headed by the definite article have been analysed as contributing the intension of the noun phrase –an individual concept– as semantic argument of the verb.

متن کاملA Parallel Interpretation of Floated Quantifiers and Adverbials
In this paper we propose a method to compositionally interpret the meanings of floated quantifiers on the basis of Categorial Grammar (Carpenter 1997) and Davidsonian semantics (Davidson 1980). In this approach, floated quantifiers are accounted for semantically as a kind of adverbial phrase so that we do not need any special syntactic operations, such as quantifier raising, in order to interpr...

In other words, conjunction (disjunction) is a special kind of universal (existential) quantification where the domain of the variable is restricted to the set of...
متن کاملBranching Quantifiers, Functional WH and List Answers of WH-Questions
Wh-questions are answered with a list of pairs when quantified expressions such as "every professor" interact with wh-phrases. The theory of branching quantification is extended to wh-quantifier interactions to account for the question reading associated with list answers. It is also shown that there are several phenomena which would be better explained when functional variables are incorporate...
