Ambiguous sentences that contain more than one
quantified
expression present challenges to linguistic theories
of quantification
and to psycholinguistic theories of real-time
sentence comprehension.
Based on the results of a set of experiments
investigating the
comprehension of doubly-quantified sentences and
sentences that
contain ellipsis, this book argues that the
interpretation of quantified
sentences is determined at Logical Form (LF), that LF
is a syntactic level
of representation not constrained by semantics, and
that LF
representations are crucial to interpretive decisions
made by the
human sentence processing mechanism. The book will
be of interest
to linguists, psycholinguists, and anyone who studies
quantification,
the syntax-semantics interface and the role of
abstract linguistic
structure in sentence comprehension.
