Quantifier domain restriction as ellipsis

Chris Collins

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this paper I argue that in certain cases quantifier domain restriction is due to a process of syntactic ellipsis. I give evidence for this analysis from inverse scope phenomena. I respond to Stanley and Szabó's arguments against a syntactic ellipsis approach. Furthermore, I show how their own semantic proposal fails to capture the inverse scope facts.
