BRASOVEANU IN NATURAL LANGUAGE SEMANTICS

The `Online First’ edition of the journal Natural Language Semantics has just appeared. It includes a paper by Adrian Brasoveanu and former LRC visitor Jakub Dotlačil on Strategies for scope taking. The paper, which is available here, reports the results of a sequence of experimental studies on the scope-taking properties of each and every in English. It argues (building on earlier work by Suzanne Tunstall) that the distinct scopal properties of each and every are at least to some extent the consequence of an event-differentiation requirement contributed by each.
