Generalizing the Scope Economy Condition}, volume={14}, url={https://ojs.ub.uni-konstanz.de/sub/index.php/sub/article/view/474}, abstractNote={<p>Fox (1995, 2000) argued that covert scope shifting operations (CSSOs) such as QR or reconstruction are subject to a semantic economy condition: they are not licensed if they are semantically vacuous. In this paper, we argue for a generalization of this condition according to which a CSSO is ruled out not only if it is vacuous, but also if it leads to a reading that is strictly stronger than the surface-scope reading.</p>}, journal={Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung}, author={Mayr, Clemens and Spector, Benjamin}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={305–321} }
