Book synopsis

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.
