Quantifier Scope in Categorical Compositional Distributional Semantics

Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh · Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science · 2016

In previous work with J. Hedges, we formalised a generalised quantifiers theory of natural language in categorical compositional distributional semantics with the help of bialgebras. In this paper, we show how quantifier scope ambiguity can be represented in that setting and how this representation can be generalised to branching quantifiers.
