Quantification and Commonsense Reasoning

Abstract

Traditional approaches to the resolution of quantifier scope ambiguity are based on devising syntactic and semantic rules to eliminate a multitude of otherwise equally valid readings. This approach is neither cognitively nor computationally plausible. Instead we suggest a cognitively plausible model to quantifier scope using a quantificational restriction which we assume speakers of ordinary language compute in appropriately defined contexts.
