A Unidimensional Syntax-Semantics Interface for Supplements

I extend the recent unidimensional semantics of supplements due to Martin to a full syntax-semantics interface. The grammar formalism employs a two-component syntax, with one component modeling combinatorics and another for surface form. I show that the syntax-semantics for supplements is relatively uncomplicated, requiring only two new lexical entries. I contrast this with the complex machinery needed to model supplement semantics in other accounts, such as transformations, special-purpose rules, continuations, and monads. This account is also more finely grained and empirically adequate than others because it allows supplements to take scope and be denied.
