Abstract

I present an analysis of event-related readings that treats both them and object-related readings as resulting from quanti?cation over temporal stages of individuals, with the distinction between the two arising from a difference in the degree of maximality that quanti?ers require those stages to ful?l. The analysis accounts for the compositional-semantic effect of different in these examples, and the possibility of multiple event-related readings. I also examine the connection between this analysis and existing accounts of quanti?er domain restriction.
