Quantifiers in Pair-List Readings

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy ((SLAP,volume 65))

Abstract

In this paper the term pair-list reading will be applied to both types (1) and (2)

  1. (1)

    Who did every dog bite?

    ‘For every dog, who did it bite?’

  2. (2)

    Who did six dogs bite?

    ‘For six dogs of your choice, who did each bite?’

This paper is a revision of sections 1 through 3 of my paper in the proceedings of the Ninth Amsterdam Colloquium; section 4 of that paper is developed in ‘Strategies for scope taking’ (this volume). This research was partially supported by NSF grant #SBR 9222501.
