Abstract:
We will study the role of syntactic and lexical information in the real-time interpretation of doubly-quantified sentences using a visual world paradigm. Doubly-quantified sentences like "Each of the wolves spotted a log" are ambiguous in terms of scope assignment: The universal quantifier "each" can be assigned wide scope over the existential quantifier "a" (the universal-wide interpretation, in which each wolf spots a different log), but the existential quantifier "a" can also be assigned wide scope over the universal quantifier "each" (the existential-wide interpretation, in which each wolf spotted the same log). The interpretation of such scopally ambiguous sentences relies on syntactic information: The quantifier that is presented first in the surface structure of the sentence is more likely to be assigned wide scope. In addition, the assignment of scope depends on lexical information: Particularly relevant for this experiment is that the quantifier each (e.g., "Each of the wolves spotted a log") is ...
