- Synopsis
- Dayal (linguistics, Rutgers U.) addresses the relation between syntactic structure and semantic representation in the analysis of WH constructions. His main argument is that semantic interpretation is defined on structures that are close to surface syntax, and that the scope domain of a WH expression is the clause in which it occurs at surface structure. While this leaves open issues of interpretation that would otherwise be handled by assigning scope to WH expressions outside the local domain, Dayal argues that intuitions about meaning in these cases are better handled by an enhancement of the semantics used in interpreting WH structures.
