Abstract

This paper defends the bidimensional approach (Potts 2005) to the semantics of supplements against criticisms based on non-projecting supplements. We discuss the empirical and theoretical aspects of two opposing representatives, Martin (2017) and Schlenker (2023), and propose a bidimensional semantics where supplements take scope when needed. The proposals resolves the issues arising from non-projecting supplements while retaining the explanatory advantages of bidimensionalism.
