Abstract
The first part of this chapter points out some undesirable aspects of the treatment of wide-scope quantification in the definition of Fragment 1. The NP-lowering rule creates unnecessary syntactic ambiguity and the use of variables allows ungrammatical sentences to be generated (section 1.1). Methods for eliminating this complication in the syntax are discussed in sections 1.2 and 1.3 and formalized in section 1.4. A general formal account of the method is given in section 1.5.
