Scope Disambiguation as a Tagging Task
Kilian Evang, Johan Bos · 2013
In this paper we present a pragmatic account of scope alternation involving universal quantifiers in a lexicalist framework based on CCG and DRT. This account can derive the desired reading for 96 % of all cases of scope interaction involving universal quantification mediated by prepositions in a real corpus. We show how this account allows for recasting scope resolution as a simple token classification task, providing a simpler handle for statistical approaches to scope resolution than previous accounts. 1
