Title: Quantifier raising and scope interpretation
Abstract: This paper reviews major studies on quantifiers within the framework of GB,highlighting their development of QR and application of QR to scope interpretation.This is followed by a discussion from five aspects of QR.The following generalization is reached:QR applies obligatorily to a QP in an argument position and is optional otherwise;QR adjoins a QP into a non-argument position within its governing category;the corresponding LF is subject to MBR and CPB.The remaining part of the paper explores reasons for ambiguity.It is pointed out that grammar should be confined to grammatical ambiguity only.
