Abstract

Dependency Tree Semantics (DTS) is an underspecified formalism for representing quantifier scope ambiguities in natural language. DTS features a direct interface with a Dependency grammar and an incremental, constraint-based disambiguation mechanism. In this paper, we discuss the meaning of quantifier dependency in DTS by translating its well formed structures into formulae of a Second Order Logic augmented with Mostowskian generalized quantifiers.
